It leaves you thinking

Rating: 9/10 (9 July 2008)

Much of this is typical King fare... improbable dialogue, and evil or danger manifested in almost ridiculous forms. It would be better had we seen nothing of the "beasts in the mist"--that might create a genuinely psychological thriller. As it is, this is a monster story, almost from start to end (I came to this, having just watched "Cloverfield", and thought, "What the hell--another monster movie??").
But nothing prepares you for the ending. This, above all the prior formulaic triteness, was memorable. I literally sat for half and hour, not knowing how to react. My wife was going to watch it the next day, but I wanted to say, "No, trust me, you won't want to see this." I just found it deeply disturbing and confronting. Interesting that an earlier commenter found the ending trite and predictable--I certainly didn't predict it.
Gotta see this.
