Most of Stephan King's movies have been victim of bad criticism. Bad adaptation of the book, another King's cookie cutter movie, not scary, predictable...... The Mist was quite a surprise for me. The movie created the illusion of I was also trapped in the super market with them. It made me think and wonder what those people going through this mysterious traumatizing circumstances, and what I would and should do. One of the reason this movie turned out be better Stephen King movie is it was about us. It was not much about the mist nor the monster in it. It was about monster in us (human nature, mind, behavior, instinct, invulnerability, insecurity that turns us into the monster to herm and kill in order to survive in extremely traumatizing survival circumstances for best or worst) I think because of strong acting from each casts (especially from Marcia Gay Harden and Thomas Jane) brought up this movie to next level like something equivalent to Lord of Files has accomplished.
