The Mist: Why The Film Ending Is So Much Better Than The Book

Welcome to Bloody Good, a channel where we dissect our favourite horror films, looking for hidden gems and films so bad we have to share them with you. Today on From the Page to the Screen, Emily takes a look at Stephen King’s The Mist and compares it to its 2007 film adaptation, directed by Frank Darabont. The Mist follows David and his son as they attempt to survive a supernatural mist that descends on their town and the creatures that lie within it. They are trapped in a supermarket and must decide if venturing out into the mist is safer than staying inside with a religious zealot who believes the mist is God’s way of punishing sinners.
