Human vs. Alien Nature - which is uglier?

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2009)

A perfect movie. That is all I can say. It had all I would have wanted in a movie and even something more. I am not really a fan of Stephen King and I have to admit when I heard of this movie I mistook it with a remake of The Fog, which was not such a great story. Boy was I wrong.
The story takes place during an alien infestation, but that is something that I would call a detail, although the aliens are extremely well rendered; it is character driven to the extreme, showing more than anything else the way people (re)act during a crisis. Stephen King has a very pessimistic view of the subject and I sadly but wholeheartedly agree. Very well acted, good cast, nice soundtrack, superb plot and very good production values.
Since I can't find anything wrong with the movie, I conclude this by thanking Frank Darabont for a great movie and I strongly suggest you to see it, whether horror or sci-fi fans or not. Also, I admire the courage it took to actually make the movie as it was done, which I believe could have been done more commercial by spoiling the plot completely and I am so glad Garabont did not do that.
