Review of The Mist (2007) by Hari A — 21 Jan 2015

For some reason, Stephen King's short stories always end up being brilliant movie adaptations. The thrill and feel of the story is perfectly captured by Frank Darabont in The Mist. Keeping the average CGI aside, the story is strong, the direction is a very polished look at a close knit small town neighbourhood that is stuck in a supermarket. The will to survive forces friendly neighbours on each other. Special mention goes to Marcia Harden who plays the religious zealot Mrs. Carmady.

But the highlight of the movie is its ending, which is the best I have seen in a long time. Period. You are stuck and mesmerised as the ending credits roll by. Hauntingly beautiful, the ending.
