Stephen King's famous novel and subsequent film 'The Mist'
is a harrowing tale of a man trapped in a grocery store whilst outside a
terrifying mist hides hideous monsters. He must fight to survive from both the
insane human element inside, and the monstrous monster element outside.
The Mist follows the proud Hollywood tradition of
anti-marijuana films, especially prescient in an age where there was imminent
danger of marijuana legalisation.
Writer Stephen King is no stranger to the anti-drug tract.
'The Shining' is the story of a writer who takes so many drugs that he goes
crazy and starts attacking his family in a fit of reefer madness. Likewise, the
'hero' of 'The Mist' is an artist, another of the group King implicitly
criticises in his writing for being unable to stop taking drugs.
The film begins when a mysterious mist rolls across the
land. Of course, careful watchers who are engaged with politics know exactly
what is happening: the film is set on the day that marijuana is legalised.
Everyone smoking it at once causes a scary drug-laced mist to thunder across
the land, sweeping up innocent people in its evil tendrils.
Chaos soon reigns. Characters trapped inside the store begin
to have drug-induced hallucinations, believing an invasion of harmless midges
to be giant monster flies, and a hosepipe to be a spiked tentacle. Indeed,
every death that occurs in the movie is down to the human element, from the
poor man who is trapped under a faulty sliding door to everyone beaten to death
with flaming mops as the midges buzz about the screen.
Is it any coincidence that when the characters enter the
pharmacy next door they see a scene of carnage (and then run away screaming
from a spider)? Those in the pharmacy, high on marijuana fumes, had clearly
raided the store for even more drugs and so destroyed themselves in their
overmedicated state, King giving a biting critique of today's drug culture.
Eventually our hero escapes, but he is so high on drugs that
despite having got free, he takes out a gun and shoots his son, girlfriend and
two innocent old people. The army then arrives to arrest him for his
drug-induced crimes, King showing us how society will not tolerate such
excesses.
Now the nightmare is coming true. America is legalising
marijuana as we speak: will King's vision of the future come true? Will the
mist roll across America for real? One thing is clear: the real monsters are
humans. Humans fuelled with reefer madness.
