The Mist is another film adapting itself from a Stephen King novel and….that’s not really that bad since many films based on Stephen King books are good, but it has to fall upon the director to make it good. In this case; it’s Frank Darabont, nominated for three Academy Awards and a Golden Globe and known for writing for the 1988 remake of The Blob and The Fly II, but also known for directing the brilliant The Shawshank Redemption and the OK Green Mile. So with good source material and a credible director who works well with that certain source material, how can it fail?
