This movie proves why Stephen King is the master

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2007)

The movie was great!!!! When I heard this movie was going to come out I wanted to get the book and read it before I saw it since I know that books are always better then the movie. But after I saw the movie especially the ending, I'm glad I did not because I would have known how it ended. Even thougth I had an idea on how it would end, I was not 100% certain. At first when I saw the first monster attach the bag boy and I saw the special effect, I thought Oh no, not another bad Dreamcatcher bad special effects alien. But then when I saw the face on those mosquito and spiders, I was like cool!!! I loved this movie. I thought it was great. Yes one would say it had a lot of drag with all the talking, and yes maybe that's true, but still, the line in the movie was true, it shows how people react when put in that situation, when put in a position of having to decide "what should I do?", a situation of fear. I was so hopeful when they got in the car and tried to get out of the mist. I so wanted them to see clear land. That is what was so shocking to me, I was expecting them be free from the mist. I was shocked that the old man and women want to kill themselves. I could not believe that the father would kill his own son who he is suppose to protect against anything. How dare he end it. How dare he not try. But yes I would suppose that once they saw that huge creature at the end that that would have seem like that was it... that was the end of the world. But to think that in the end, if he just would have waited one more day, or stayed at the mall the 4 would have lived. But no, now the people in the mall are going to live. Can you believe that? The women who left the store early on and the people in the store are going to live and the man with his son, the women, and the 2 old couple who fought for their lives died. That is not fair. I think that father is not going to live that long anyway. I'm sure the grief of killing them will cause him to take his own life. If he just would have waited!!! As I left the movie I was depressed. But yet still amazed that King had the mind to still think of all these ideas. That is why he is great. I loved the praying mantis.
