The Mist — 

The first time I read The Mist by Stephen King, I was frightened. It was the first story to really give me the creeps. It is my all time favorite horror story. With that in mind, I couldn't wait to see the film version of The Mist.

Almost every time, the film version is a poor copy of the written version. This movie was no exception. The film followed the story line until the end, but the special effects could not measure up to the monsters I created in my imagination. The ending was the worst part of the movie. The short story ending was FAR better than the movie ending. I think someone sold out and tacked an ending on the movie that they thought audiences would want to see.

With that said, if you are a fan of horror/scifi flics, then I would recommend you see this film. If you are a fan of Stephen King and enjoyed this story originally, then you will like this movie. Perhaps you will even like the ending. Sorry but I didn't.
