Good but with some flaws

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2008)

The Mist starts extremely well, the very fog, the horror of the first minutes, the first victims - that all seems to be utterly great and captivating... but then, after almost 90 minutes, I started to ask myself if I ever got the answers to some burning questions. The very end of the movie is so improbable, so shallow and so illogical that the 1 question was - Why struggling so much if the end is going to be so silly and so hopeless? The explanation of the whole monsters' attack is also so very thin and so disillusioning that the 2 question rings like - Could the film makers invent some really more exciting explanation? Apart from that, the whole film is a good suspense horror and a very true King's work... If only they improved some weaker spots a bit...
