The Mist (2007)

Frank Darabont seems to have a gift for turning Stephen King texts into entertaining screen time and The Mist proves no exception. This cinematic version of the novella that inspired the Half-Life games evokes some strong primeval fears. The fabric of society is on the brink as creatures from another dimension dish out the gore in the setting of a small town American super-market. The major flaw for this reviewer is the shock ending which is too nihilistic in this context. But overall, entertaining stuff.
