Can a mist rolling in towards you be scary? I guess so, especially when it contains something not altogether human.

The Mist was originally a book by Stephen King which has since been made into a movie by Frank Darabont. He wrote and directed the film version, and even changed the ending with King’s blessing.

The film was released in 2007, so I’m not quite sure why it’s back in the news again. But it is. I guess it’s been, or is being, shown on U.S. television for the first time.

This reviewer really likes The Mist. But I didn’t. I thought it was a little boring, and it had a feeling of being a B-movie without actually descending to that preposterous level.

Still, each to their own I guess.
