This is my favorite Stephen King story & i think it was done great ,even with the new disturbing ending.

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2007)

Very well written & made for the screen from one of the best stories of Stephen King's "horror" stuff. Frank Darabont does with Mr King's horror story the same as he did for SKing's non-horror story The Shawshank Redemption & that is gives it justice. The new ending of David killing everyone is really the only change & then minutes after while awaiting one of The Mist's beasts to come & eat him he sees a military truck roll in. He realizes he's just killed everyone & now their being rescued.He goes mad with anguish. To top if off he sees the woman he leaves the store & goes out into the Mist, cause she left he kids alone to run to the stone in the back of the truck of the rescued & she glares at him hatefully was even more thought-provoking. Thomas Jane was great as the main character David & Marcia Gay Harden was wonderful as the religious freak villianess Mrs Carmody. Great special effects from Berger & Nicotero & this is of his horror stuff my favorite King adapted horror film so far. But how did the military fix it is what i want to know?That is never explained. Did they close the portal to the other dimension that they ripped open? Great film. The monsters (especially the acid-web spinning & slinging spiders as big as dogs) are the true stars of this movie.CGI looks very real.***** out of *****
