The Mist
« on: January 25, 2008, 05:24:06 AM »
This is one of my favourite Stephen King short story and I've hoping to see it make as a film since I had read it. So the movie interest me, that's why I've read nothing about it (review, critics or news)

I've watched the anouncement for the DVD release and the movie is suppose to be release on a 1 disc and a 2 disc edition. The 2 disc edition will have a B/W version so my question is for those who have seen the movie : Do you think that a B/W version will add something more to the ambiance of the movie? Something like a feeling of a fifties monster movie.

Don't give me any spoiler since I want to be surprise by the DVD

I've not seen it, but if in doubt, go for the 2disc edition.

I have receive it this week and I've decide to watch it today. I've just watch the regular version today, so I can't comment on the B/W version.

The film is not bad but after 20 years of waiting to see this story made as a movie I'm not completly satisfied. As usual with the movie adapted from King books a lot is change and some of the cast choice don't work.

I use the spoil tag for those who have not seen it yet

I saw the Mist at the theater today.

For the most part I will say that it is quite a good horror film, mostly true to the story (probably unless you just read it recently) and except one obvious CGI reveal it is well done (I guess it's budget limitations).

Basically I agree with most everything Jimmy said within the Spoiler. However, I mainly disagree with one thing, which I will respond with a spoiler tag too:

I mentioned that I hate the ending as a comment to a Yes vote for a contribution. As a reaction a friend PMed me (I don't think it was his contribution...) and pointed out to me that the ending was
