What makes you say that, Scenester?

So far, it's just safe/mediocre.

Starts off ok but then it takes a nose dive into sheer awfulness. Worth the watch just for a good laugh at the stupid ending.

Oh. My. God.

There are some Wicker Man, Cage-style moments of unintentional humor.  The best bit is when Cusack freaks out and turns over his coffee table, making his wife cry - then walks out completely calm and goes, "I'm going to go get some cigarettes, okay?" :lol

I've seen it on GAF lotsa times.  Its ace.

Samuel L. Jackson pwns his scene.  The rest of the film defines "polished turd".
edit: Found it, boo-yaa!

It's enjoyable, but not particularly great.

The Mist is the superior King adaptation of 2007.

It was fun to watch in a theater.  Shutter was better though.

The Mist is great. I loved the story when I was younger and was very happy with how the adaptation turned out. I also really like how there's practically no score in the film. So few horror films do that nowadays and I feel it really adds to the tension and mood of the film.

"I'm going to go get some cigarettes, okay?" :lol

The Mist rocks.  It's basically RED STATES vs BLUE STATES: THE MOVIE.  And just like in real-life, the red states rule. :rock

I assumed 1408 was made to be a little campy.  It HAD to be.  I enjoyed it for what it was worth.  I'm used to bad King adaptations and I deal with it because I love King

The Mist rocked.  Anyone that doesn't like the ending is an idiot.  Also, I want to see it in black and white now.

The Mist is probably one of my favorite genre flicks of recent years.  I agree with Frank Darabont, though, in that it just feels better in black and white.  It does make it kinda feel like a movie from the 50s or 60s, plus I think it works better with the visual motif.

I was playing TF2 one night, and some guy started spamming

Tom Jane's screaming at the end of the movie over and over.

The whole server was pissed off, but I was laughing my ass off.

The ending was the only good part.  Darabount should have hired a leading man that didn't mumble.
