Best movie to come from a Stephen King novel........EVER!

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2008)

I've been a Stephen King fan since I could practically read. While other kids were watching Spongebob and power rangers, i was watching Christine and Carrie(pardon me using the two girl names as my examples). Through out the years I have rented every single movie to be inspired by a Stephen King story in a desperate attempt to find one that actually did the book SOME justice. For the past couple years Carrie and The Shining (not the one with jack Nicholson,(pardon me if i spelled his last name wrong) but the mini-series on SciFi) have been the only ones to fill my heart with pride, until this weekend when I rented this movie after my friend recommended it. As with most movies, i was a bit nervous that the Mist would turn out to just be a poor attempt at one of the great works of Mr. King, but i was gladly mistaken. This movie had me at the edge of my seat the whole way through. The story was a truly unique one that hasn't come along in a LONG while. The acting was all very believable from everyone, and i must say that Marcia Gay Harden's character scared the crap out of me (not to quote the movie, but she reminded me A lot of Jim Jones). The Mist s truly terrifying, psychologically AND otherwise. It is one of the must see horror movies of the year, if not the must see horror movie yet. Stephen King fans and movie buffs alike will not be let down.
