Stephen King's The Mist

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2009)

A movie is usually referred to by the Director's movie but this doesn't apply to Stephen King's works. When you watch an adaptation of Stephen King, you gotta give the credit to the right man.
I agree with one of the viewers that "The Shawshank Redemption" is the best of King's adaptation and "The Green Mile" is definitely a good movie but we need to be fair about one thing. The Green Mile is so similar to a movie that was released in 1995 called "Powder" while "The Green Mile" was written in 1999. I enjoyed "The Green Mile" but not as much as everybody else did because I had already watched "Powder".
Anyhow, back to The Mist. I have to make it clear that the creatures in the movie were not really that scary but the idea of the world ending this way is possible and scary. Just the idea of being prisoned in one place and not knowing what the h'll is going on out side and even if you go out and see that there is no evidence of life anymore, is so damn scary. I loved the movie and enjoyed it a lot as it had so many strong elements. I usually enjoy the horror movies that group bunch of people who don't know each others in one place where they try with their different characters to save their lives. I also like it how people split into believing what's going on and others being just skeptical about the whole idea.
The character of the religious lady is just so smart and the ending of the movie though shocking and disturbing but beautiful and you wouldn't have liked it to be different even though.
