Stephen King never lets me down.

What I love about Stephen King is that over the many years as a writer he has never failed in writing a novel that a good director and screenwriter could take and make into an enjoyable movie.
I am not sure if King hand-picks who directs and produces these films, but in The Mist and other greats like Storm of the Century, The Shining, IT, Misery, his words are transformed through great scripts and great actors.
In The Mist, those who enjoy suspense thrillers (even if never seeing a Stephen King novel tranformed into a movie before) should be pleased. Within the first 30 minutes of this movie or less, it is clear that things are "not as they seem." The audience is instantly curious in what's to come.
This movie doesn't have a real "twist" to it but when the plot is revealed its intriguing. It makes you same "hmmm, what if?" all the while keeping your attention throughout. What I also like about these type of films are the moments when it appears everything and everyone is quiet, soft spoken or faint and then you get a jolt from the slightest actions - you will find some of this in this film.
Personally, there hasn't been anything in the suspense/thriller/horror genre to impress me much in a while other than the SAW movies but The Mist was a welcomed "change in scenery" if you will.
