Finally got around to watching 'The Mist"
On Netflix. Wow. One powerful and grim movie. Glad I didn't watch it before bedtime!

for anything that makes bedtime grim. (DNW=Do Not Watch)

When I read King's book, I had Mrs Carmody pictured as a nosy old church lady type. Casting that Michelle Bachmann-resembling actress was so much better.
The movie's end was a shocker, as it was completely different from the book.
Netflix also has the mini-series. Watching it is an ok way to pass time with nothing else to do, but it's very little like the book or movie and not nearly as good.

Good tale, by the always entertaining, Mr. King.

When the person she wanted to sacrifice dies, the Mist clears and everything goes back to normal.
It was God all along.
