Refreshing

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2008)

After countless terrible King adaptations, Darabont has really done something awesome with The Mist. I absolutely loved this movie and am very satisfied with the adaptation. I was actually terrified the whole time and then at the end, I was so utterly shocked that I had to just sit there and stare at the screen while the credits continued to roll. I can't give it away but it will blow your mind!
The acting is very solid the whole time with power house performances from Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden and Andre Braugher. I loved the story and was genuinely creeped out by it the entire time. There is great gore and some great creatures, however, I felt that the CGI bogged these down a bit, but that's the only thing I can really complain about. Otherwise, it's a brilliant horror film.
Horror fans owe it to themselves to check out The Mist. It's an essential for anyone who gets there kicks from being scared. See it as so as you possibly can!
