THE MIST [2007]

Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's novella The Mist is a social commentary and dissection of Western humanity, thinly disguised as a creature feature b-film.
Mixing elements of Night Of The Living Dead and Lord Of The Flies, Darabont pieces together an impressively faithful adaptation of King's work, with the exception of the completely new ending which delivers an even more powerful punch than the original.  It suffers from some awkward pacing but still manages to please as a fan of horror films and the disgusting things they do.
