Advantages: Best horror for ten years Disadvantages: Slight King cliches
There's no doubt Stephen King is the king of the written horror, although not every book of his makes a good film, Tommy Knockers and Dreamcatcher to name but two. Cr**ing aliens on the toilet makes for a good movie Stephen? But when it does work you know your going to be entertained, IT, Christine and Cujo some early classics. Not a lot of people know that King wrote the Shawshank Redemption, adapted and then directed by Frank Darabont, The Mist their third collaboration, all three rather excellent movies, maybe The Green Mile the weakest of the trio.
The Mist works so well because it's classic King, all about building up the principal characters and the mystery quickly and concisely, but not lingering too long before the action and eventual threat reveals its terrifying layers. King, yet again writes a superior version of himself ...

Advantages: Fun , Cute , Loveable Disadvantages: None
Mist : The Tale of A Sheepdog Puppy is a family film directed by Richard Overall and based on the children's stories by David Kennard. Mist was released in the United Kingdom on December 25th 2006.
Mist is a family film about a sheepdog puppy named Mist. The storyline revolves around Mist learning how to be a proper sheepdog and shows her growing up from a puppy into an adult.
Mist is suitable for all ages , although aimed at children , I know of a few adults who have loved this film. I have always loved sheepdogs , having being brought up with them , so this film was perfect for me. Kids will absolutely love this film ; Mist is so cute and cuddly , and the characters of the other dogs are really amusing too ; my favourite being Mist's snobby Auntie Fern!
I loved the voice-overs and narrator as they make the story sound so much ...
Advantages: Fantastic ending Disadvantages: Not very scary and character's who lack depth.
I went to see this film at the cinema recently with relatively low expectations but was pleasantly surprised enough to feel it deserved a review.
The Mist is an adaptation of a Steven King novel and was released back in November 2007 in the US with a mixed response. The director is 3 times Academy-Award Nominee Frank Darabont. Frank Darabont was the director of both The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Darabont deserves a lot of credit for sticking to his convictions with 'The Mist' and refusing to change his ending of the film despite being offered twice the budget, I believe the film is certainly the better for this.
The plot is relatively simple. A 'Mist' descends from the mountains above the unnamed town trapping many shoppers into a local supermarket. The 'Mist' is blamed upon a military experiemt by the army called ...
