#56 The Mist (2007)

Directed by: Frank Darabont
Starring: Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden

The Mist is one in a long line of Stephen King adaptations. The best of course, is The Shining, look out for that in a future review. This, however, seems to have split opinion amongst audiences and holds mixed reviews across the web.

Those mixed feelings sum up my thoughts on the movie too. One the one hand I feel that it's technically very good. The camera work and editing are all done very well and I really like some of the direction. On the other hand, however, I found the ending to be somewhat of a letdown and some of the characters annoying and underdeveloped. I'd recommend watching this and making up your own mind.
