Intense!

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2008)

This movie may be one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever brought on screen. Regisseur Frank Darabont, who also directed the great movies Shawshank Redemption (short story by SK) and The Green Mile (book by SK), did it again.
Some people may say that the story is weird. But even the craziest story can make a good movie if the actors are playing their roles convincing. And - hell yeah - they do. I went through so many emotions watching this movie, I really was exhausted afterward. Marcia Gay Harden is doing an incredible job, you just have to hate her. It's these emotions which pull you through the movie, and not one moment gets boring.
The sometimes nervous camera shots and the good soundtrack add to this feelings so you really get dragged into the movie.
The special effects aren't special, but thats not important because all the stuff that happens in the mist is just there to create the special situation inside the store. This isn't a movie about monsters, it's a movie about people in extreme situations.
Please, Frank Darabont, do some more SK movies ;) 10/10
