sirandrewI really liked the Mist.
Honestly, as a movie, it was ok. The story was decent and the film was well made. However, I loved the fact that Frank Darabont again proved that he was the best adaptor of book to film that is currently working in Hollywood. Darabont just about literally translated King's novella to the screen, word for word, image for image, and I loved him for it. I liked King's story when I read it as a kid, and when I read it I imagined all the things he described and formed a mental image of the characters, events and creatures in his tale. What gets me so much about Darabont's movie is that the images that King described were EXACTLY what appeared in the film. Even the monsters were spot on exact, to the letter what King had laid out. The only major thing Darabont changed was the end, but even King has been quoted as saying of the end "If I'd have thought of that I'd have written it that way."
Yeah, I'm happy. I'm even happier because Darabont's next project is Farenheit 451. I could think of no one, no one at all that I'd rather have adapting that book to screen.
