The Mist

Rating:
Category:Movies
Genre: Horror
Why did I waste 2 hours of my life?!

I admit DH is more the Stephen King fan than I am, but I was looking forward to seeing this movie. I was really disappointed. It wasn't even a good cheesy scary movie. It was just a disturbing study on how fear turns people into lunatics. It wasn't even really a good commentary on that either.

The movie is bent- evil wins. Its not the first time King has ended a story this way, but it just really disappoints me when he does. I was left with the same anger and resentment I had after watching "Storm Of The Century." Granted I haven't read the print versions, but I can't help but feel so cheated.

I haven't seen the movie. Many, many years ago I read the short story. Didn't look like it was gonna be a very good movie.

Uncle Popcorn and DS12 gave the movie 2.5 stars. DS9 gives it 1.5.

We bought this one for my StepMom last week, she's a Stephen King fan. I'm glad we didn't see it. I'm not as much of a fan as she is. I hadn't heard of it either. ON the bright side, Sweeney Todd comes out tomorrow. :-D I didn't get to see this one in theaters because of it's R-rating....but...I am ready to get DEPPmerized on the small screen. :-D

I don't think there was any King movie that I've liked a lot. I love his books and find that my imagination is so much scarier than the films.
