The Mist!

I wouldn't call this a horror movie. It's heavily character driven and the human conflict within the store is the real movie, and with that, I liked it. I thought the creature designs and f/x were weak(the tentacle scene, for one). Yay everything's king sized. I've seen that before(King Kong).

The creature scenes really pulled me out of the movie, and I impatiently sat through them until I could see what was going on in the store again. The character development was great, one of King's greatest strengths in all his stories.

I thought the greatest fear was fear of the unknown. Honestly, I think if the audience never saw what was in the mist, yet characters were mysteriously being torn in two, it would have made it much more intense.

And wow, a dark depressing ending. Good stuff! Happily ever after doesn't need to be every ending in Hollywood. Good for you Frank Darabont.
