Rating:  - Stupid Characters doing stupid things
It seems the writer intended this movie to be a sort of morality tale about the frailty of humanity and the depths to which people will sink in the face of fear and the unknown. He failed miserably. The characters are unrealistic archetype caricatures, all of which are unbelievably stupid and slow to act in the diferent situations that arise in the movie. Apparently the only archetype not represented is that of rational humane man. Everyone's first instinct is to either kill someone else or start ... Read More
Rating:  - Adequate adaptation of King's novella
After a raging storm that knocks out all power, David Drayton and his young son Billy head into town for supplies. Along for the ride is neighbor Norton, whom David doesn't normally get along with. Before leaving home, David and his family wonder about the strange mist hovering over the lake. Once in town, he discovers the power is out there too, and the checkout lines in the grocery store are long.

Rating:  - misty eye...(contain spoilers, you have been warned!!!)
I love this movie based on the short story from Stephen King. I didn't expect much from "The Mist" since nearly all Mr.King's works had turned into bombs upon bombs, but fortunately, there are a few good and really excellent ones too.

With "The Mist" the ... Read More
Rating:  - never screw with a good thing !
I waited for years to see this made into a film , and had high hopes for it . but some idiot thought he knew better than the author of the story how it should end ! and by changing the ending totally ruined it ! why would you produce a rather decent film from a great story ,and then rip the very heart and soul from it ? this fool should never be allowed to produce another film !
Rating: - One of King's Best Short Stories Finally Made into a Movie
I read The Mist in Skeleton Crew as a kid and immediately wanted more of the story. For years people have wished King's short story was longer and a maybe even redone as a full length novel. We also wanted to see it on the big screen but alas we had to wait quite some time. With King stories turned into movies you never know if it is going to be great (as with Misery, The Shawshank Redemption (also based on a short story) and others. Or just plain disappointing compared to the novel (such as the butchering ... Read More
