Let me preface by saying I am a big Stephen King fan, with The Mist one of my favorites. It is a novella a little over 100 pages.

Now if yo have seen previews, and dont know the story I expect "great, another The Fog movie" crossed your mind. Though I havent seen either "Fog", I can assure The Mist will be a truly terrifying movie. The read was so well written, it actually gave me nightmares. Most SK fans rank the Mist as one of their favorites.

Yes, I know that SK stories usually fall short on the screen, but Frank (shawshank, green mile) Darabont is directing, and I believe he would not take on the task if he wasnt confident he could do a good job.

Great story + very good director = disappointment? Maybe, but I still think this movie will rock.
