Movie Review: The Mist

Summary: Thriller/horror film written by Stephen King about a creepy mist that envelops a town and bad things start to happen.

Rating: 5.5 out of 10

Review:
I read the Stephen King novella and liked it a lot. The movie followed that plot line really well and I was only disappointed with one section of the CG. Most of the CG was good, but one scene was of noticeably lower quality.

Really, the story is about how people deal with intense, emotional situations. And some monsters, I guess. My biggest problem with the movie, and the reason I didn't like it as much as I would have, was the ending. The book ended just fine. I was happy with it. For some reason, they changed it in the movie. And the movie went too far. I was not pleased with the result of the movie ending. Other than that, a good, spooky time. I would read the novella first, though. Tells the story just as well, but with a better ending.
