My expectations weren't high on this one, since we've been buying some bad cheap movies lately - but I shouldn't have doubted Stephen King's ability to deliver!

Amazon summarizes the plot with simply "a mysterious mist, thick with blood-thirsty creatures, descends on a small town, where a group of people holes up in a grocery store to fight for their lives", and I'm not gonna go more into it than that either, cause that would spoil the surprise.

There was a few times, especially during the first half, where the dialogue was a bit slow and you figured "right, it's that kind of movie, doesn't seem too interesting". However, I'm glad we didn't give up on it, because there was always a new turn with new horrors to be brought.

If you've read my reviews you know I love nothing better than an excellent ending, happy or heart-breaking, as long as it's surprising. Even if you've read the Stephen King novella, this movie adaptation ends dramatically different, so it would be worth watching it just for that.
