The Mist - read 1st, then watch it
In a nutshell: U.S. Military opens a futuristic portal to a nasty, parallel universe, which turns out to be a bad, bad idea –a classic Stephen King adaptation but a good one for a change! Worth watching 
The story: A bunch of village people and David Drayton, the once to be known as The Punisher fella are about to shop at a hardware store as some wired mist surrounds the community, trapping everyone inside. Soon the people realize it’s everything else but a regular mist, mainly since there are a lot of archaic, bloodthirsty beasts in it. And worse, the most meanly one is right inside the store…
Flickcritique says: I am not a big fan of Stephen King, since I feel like most of his novels are essentially the same in terms of the content/plot. But I liked this one, mainly for the dark, not Hollywood-style at all ending. It’s not as good as the adaptation of Misery (1990) but then again that novel (as well as the movie!) was a masterpiece, wasn’t it? 
Conclusion: It’s a good enough flick for me Not exactly the kind of movie I’d be watching with my girlfriend but great to watch with similar-minded friends. Thumbs up from the Flickcritique
Watch it if you liked: AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004), The Fog (2005) , AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)
