Sci-Fi/Horror Done Right!

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2008)

From within the first few minutes I was hooked through to the end. It's been a while since there's been a really good sci-fi/horror combo - and here it is - from Stephen King, no less...
A mysterious mist shows up in a remote town, lots of military vehicles are seen speeding past, and shoppers in the town's grocery store become trapped when they realize that venturing into the mist is perilous. As the situation unfolds, fear begins to overtake logic.
One thing I also really liked was that I didn't feel cheated with a minimal ending - so this was a big plus for me. However, the one thing that took away from the movie was the prolonged stupidity of the characters in the face of danger. It wasn't really believable. But the movie was so good in other respects, I let this aspect slide a bit.
In general, this is a great movie to watch. Stephen King fans, sci-fi/horror fans and those that like thrills and suspense ... this is for you.
