If I could write and had a story worth telling in a movie, I would want no director more than Frank Darabont. The Mist, Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption are, for me, some of the best Stephen King adaptations out there. Frank has a gift for handling stories, dialog and characters in equal measure without neglecting any of them. He brings out what is important and what is usually found between the lines in King's work. The fog is suspenseful, eerie and no matter what came with the fog, it's not half as dangerous as humans. Wrong and inhuman or just all-too-human decisions run through the whole movie and in the end it's another decision that holds absolute horror. A movie that entertains and hurts in the right places.
