Does The Mist really rank that low?

I never understood all the hate for The Mist.

It was never supposed to be some groundbreaking Horror movie masterpiece. It’s just a really solid adaptation of a King story with a gut stab of an ending.

Most of the complaints I’ve heard are that they hate the religious lady so much that they hate the film. But that’s never made sense. She’s an excellent villain to make people react so severely…That’s a plus to the movie! Not a negative!

It’s not my favorite horror movie, but it still sometimes ends up on my list to watch every Halloween season like “The Thing” or “the Shining”, along with whatever other 29 horror movies I watch in October.

It’s so odd to me that people really seem to hate this movie.

It’s also credit to the actress, Marcia Harden

The scene where they kick out the soldier is absolutely nuts

It shouldn't haha I heard Stephen King was very impressed with his version of the ending and wished he wrote it. Also gotta check out the black and white version which is what he originally envisioned.
