Good Film, but Lacks Scare Factor

The Mist was an interesting horror film, but lacked some elements that a good horror movie has.
The story was wonderfully thought out, as most Stephen King movies are. The way the story progressed through the movie made me anxious and uncomfortable at the same time, which was great. However, there was no overly thrilling parts of the movie. I didn't really jump during the movie, which is what makes horror movies exciting to me.
The characters interacted very realistically, given the situation that they were thrown into. The drama given in the movie could be seen in almost every horror movie, especially a zombie movie, but I still enjoyed every minute of it. I felt that I was mixed in the drama, watching from another person's perspective as everything happened.
Overall, The Mist was enjoyable, but it wasn't all that scary. It was a bridge between science fiction and horror, with more of a science fiction element. The Mist is good for people that are looking for a horror movie that isn't all that scary.
