While stylistically and thematically akin to The Monkey, another stellar adaptation of Stephen King's short stories, The Mist deviates primarily in its jaw-dropping final scene—a twist so potent that even King himself has confessed he believes the film's conclusion outshines his original narrative.
Surrey Live reports The Mist impressed critics and fans alike with a solid 73% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and even Empire magazine, giving it four stars while proclaiming: "Criminally overlooked in the States, this is one of the best horror movies of the last few years.".
This month saw the release of the latest cinematic adaptation of a short story by renowned author Stephen King, which is already earning rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.
The film was directed by Frank Darabont of The Walking Dead fame, marking his second time adapting a Stephen King story after Shawshank Redemption.
Amazon Prime has added a 'truly gripping and genuinely terrifying' horror film that's the ideal follow-up for fans of The Monkey.
