Well, I can say that there were a few good parts...

Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2008)

After seeing this film, I honestly left the theatre feeling gyped and disgusted. The gore wasn't the concern: it was the ending. It was merely the fact that it was so predictable in its unpredictability. Unlike many users on IMDb, I have not read the story, but it is my understanding (I could be wrong) that the book ending was different.
You must understand: I have always been a huge fan of Stephen King's books. I have no problem with reading them over and over. However, every movie ever made based on one of his stories has turned out to be a disappointment. Most of these bombers can be put down to the simple impossibility of putting all of the detail from the book onto the screen. A few titles, especially this one, cannot be salvaged. There are, however, a few minor bits and pieces that make it bearable to sit through...once. First, the creatures are very interesting and left you wondering what would come next. They are just creepy enough to be distracting from the awfulness of the movie. Also, I have to say that I actually appreciate the fact that the movie doesn't address where the mist came from. Not only does it leave the viewer trying to draw his own conclusions, but in the real world, this fact would probably not be unveiled until weeks or months after the fact. At this point, with the available ending, I don't think that the main character would really care. If nothing else, the movie sticks to its guns.
Overall, a bad movie with a few good bits. Wish me luck on reading the story.
