Frank Darabont is responsible for the best previous King adaptations The Shawshank Redemption "and" Green Mile "responsible. (Before coming Kubrick fans: yeah, just is "Shining" But a couple of years ago.) With "The Mist", he has ventured to a more traditional horror theme by King.
In a small town near Castle Rock, Maine is a father shopping with his son after a violent storm. A very strange fog is forming, and soon it turns out: there's something in the fog. Very quickly, the customers are as besieged again, and since it does not really help that is locked with a religiously deluded.
is a strange coincidence, King has written the history of 1980 (as you could drink in a story someone a couple of beers and still drive car can be), the same year as "The Fog" the movies came. But we do not speculate on - this movie packs in equal parts by the social component as well as the horror part, by a clear threat.
Darabont has reworked the story a little, made blunt and faster, but he considers himself very precisely to the template - Which shows that she has lost even after nearly 30 years, nothing. I am always of the opinion that King wrote while in the period from 1980 to 1989 his best novels. Since I will go through even the religious spinner because he has used this type of character as not so common.
The film was hurt with less than 20 million dollars a rather small budget, it but not - of course, may be because most of the film is set in a supermarket. ;) A good part should be all spent before the special effects.
a few short one-liners at the end: the picture that accompanied our hero to start with is Roland from the Dark Tower, also depend or posters on "Green Mile" and "The Thing" on the walls. And Valve programmer of "Half-Life" have admitted to the act of their PC from the classic "The Fog" can be inspired to have.
