Best Stephen King Novel/Movie Since Pet Cemetery

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2009)

I honestly liked the movie. Never read the book but its a great horror movie so to speak. Thomas Jane was excellent in the movie. Shoppers trapped in a grocery store in a small town in Maine as a creepy mist covers the area. All of a sudden as night falls, horrifying creatures come out of nowhere and start attacking people and eating them alive. Marcia Gay Harden as a psychotic bible-thumping nutcase warning everyone that the mist is the apocalypse. Everyone is trying to survive and make it back home alive. Some escape unharmed, others take the quick way out through suicide and others just get attacked and pulled out by the creatures. Coming to the end of the movie, if David Drayton just would have waited another 5 more minutes, he and his son and his friends would have been fine instead he uses the gun and kills his son and his three friends with no more bullets to kill himself after the fact that they have escaped and made it out to his truck and drove until it ran out of gas and after he realizes that the mist is clearing and the Army is coming through to clear out any remaining creatures and taking people to shelters for food and other medical help and needs he feels like an ass after just killing his 5 year old son. Yeah they drove by his house and seen that his wife never made it out alive and then all of a sudden he kills whats left of his family.....the last movie with Thomas Jane in it that hes the only surviving member of his family that I have seen was the Punisher. How many more movies will he do that he's the last survivor in his family? Otherwise The Mist is a great movie with a messed up ending.
