Transports the atmosphere of the novella well

Rating: 5/10 (5 March 2009)

I've read Stephen king's novella on which this movie is based upon a long time ago. In fact, i've read quite a lot of king's books until I had enough of his peculiar style. I really like horror-stories, but king's horror stories aren't only scary, each one of them also has the same depressing and desperate undertone.
I think the mist transports the atmosphere and style of the novella perfectly. Guess that's the reason I couldn't really warm up to the movie. Interesting though: I really HATED the figure of the religious lunatic, in fact I cheered when this guy finally put an end to her annoying speeches. I guess that was my personal happy end of the mist.
