M.Night Shamalan. Some had great beginnings and blah endings. I thought The Mist was one of his.

Ahhhh gotcha. No it's a Frank Darabont adaptation of a Stephen King novella and if anyone can adapt King well, it's Darabont.

Well then, definitely give it a spin. It does diverge a bit from the original story but I'm a big fan.

Glad you liked it. Some people don't like the ending, possibly because it is too manipulative. However, I love it - it's a punch to the gut and made me shed a tear.
