![]() This film has immense rewatchability unlike so many horror films that are meant to shock you momentarily with a jump scare then laugh it off with a quip. I don't want to spoil the ending because it's so incredibly powerful so I'll say as little as I can but just don't expect every character that you've grown to love to make it out unscathed. We’ve learned that Andy Muschietti’s IT (2017) will bring Pennywise to Netflix on June 19, 2022, followed by Frank Darabont’s The Mist arriving on Netflix on June 22, 2022. ![]() The story is set in a town called Bridgton, Maine. It was later published in the book Skeleton Crew in 1985. It was first published in an anthology named Dark Forces in 1980. Not only is the film scary, it's painfully tragic. The Mist is a novella written by Stephen King. Darabont puts you right there in that supermarket, surrounded by panicked townsfolk and religious nutcases. It's a truly spooky film unlike most modern horror films. This film, however, is a fantastic character study with a subtly layered screenplay, powerful performances from it's ensemble of movie stars and "hey it's that guy!" character actors that also just so happens to include expertly directed gut wrenching sequences of horrorific monsters. I have a soft spot for horror stories, I know The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile are both much more subtle artistic masterpieces of modern cinema, I watch those films quite often and they tug at my heart strings each and every time. Frank Darabont returns to the Stephen King well once again and this one is my personal favorite. ![]()
