Writer-director Frank Darabont, who showcased the softer side of Stephen King in his film adaptations of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, turns to darker material for The Mist, his latest King adaptation about a group of ordinary townspeople trapped in a supermarket by a mysterious fogbank. Thomas Jane is top-billed as a Maine illustrator who attempts to calm the frightened shoppers, but his job is cut out for him from the get-go, first by the discovery of malevolent creatures lurking in the mist, and then by the mad mutterings of Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden), a local eccentric who calls for Old Testament-style sacrifices to appease the supernatural forces. Darabont delivers monster movie thrills and understated social commentary with equal skill, and he's well supported by his cast (which includes Andre Braugher, Toby Jones, William Sadler and Jeffrey DeMunn) and the vivid special effects by KNB EFX, which effectively mix CGI with models and stop-motion animation (the terrific monsters were designed by legendary comic book artist Bernie Wrightson). And for those curious about how the novella's downbeat ending has translated to film, suffice it to say that Darabont's conclusion is at once different and more unsettling than King's. --Paul Gaita

Rating : - The WORST SK movie EVER!
I am a HUGE SK fan and was sooooo excited to see this movie, since we missed it in the theater...SAVE YOUR MONEY!
This is the absolute WORST movie made based on a SK work EVER!
King always gives us characters that we are drawn in to love and care about and breaks our hearts when something evil happens to them. There are NO characters to care about in this movie. It is gore, gore, gore galore...no moving plot...just a mishmash thrown together. It is deplorable...
I just can't stand to think this movie even exists based on a SK work...even in the worst movies made based on his work, the acting is good and the characters shine through...NOT HERE FOLKS!
The ending doesn't help either...such a waste...I only put one star because it is required for this review...I give it minus 10 stars actually!
