The Mist

Quite possibly one of the best endings to a film... ever.
Just my opinion of course.
The Mist is the second Stephen king movie to come out this year and I am a huge fan of his movies and books so obviously I'm going to screen this one.
The Mist is about exactly that and what it brings.  Terror.
Basically a government project gone terribly wrong as a dimension is opened and a bunch of crazy looking creatures come through into our world killing along the way, but at all times within the mist.  Octopus/Elephant creatures, Spiders, and giant locusts with robot skull faces.  Ok yeah, it took me a while after first seeing them but they grew on me and I accepted them for what they were in this movie.  The spiders shoot acid webs that burn your skin off on contact, the locusts attatch to your neck and your face swells up and you die, and the giant elephant has tentacles that look like the same creatures from Dreamcatcher if you ever had a chance to catch that movie.
The majority of this movie takes place in a supermarket where after a certain matter of time this one lady goes crazy and preaches the word of god saying it's the day of reckoning, etc. etc.  And in time she brainwashes a good 90% of the people in there that is in fact what is happening.  That's not where the story revolves though it revolves around a father and his son, along with a few others that think things thorough and attempt to get out.
Who will survive?  Who will die? How will it end?  Go check it out to find out, if your a stephen king fan you won't be disappointed.
8.5/10  (I take off half a point only because the preaching lady of god got annoying after a while, but that was her characters job and it delivered)

I didn't get a chance to write a review for P2 and it broke the years record for fastest movie to come and go but it was a solid film as well.  Rent it when it comes out on DVD
P2-  8/10
