The Mist
Director Frank Darabont ("Shawshank Redemption", "Green Mile") collaborates again with writer Stephen King to adapt a short story about a deadly mist that engulfs a small town. Lots of things are in the mist. They'll make you jump. But it's what the humans do to each other that's more likely to shake you to your core.
