One of my favorite King stories - now one of the best Stephen King movies!

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2008)

The Film started last week over here in Germany. last night I watched it.
So what can I say here, what has not been said before?
I read "the Mist" over twenty years ago and is still one of my favorite King stories ever. So I hoped that the movie would not disappoint me. Now I can say: Surely one of the best Stephen King movies ever! Marvellous characters, superb and scary creatures, no overdose on SFX, and an intelligent story along with very good camera work and editing. What more can you wish for? Well, yes, a perfect ending maybe? Even that gave the movie to me: The shocking end sequence (with the wonderful 20-year-old Dead Can Dance-Track!) nearly blew me off my seat!!! That's how a good horror movie has to look like!!!
