The Mist

Whoah! My favourite King story (right after the whole Dark Tower sh'bang) is being made into a movie!
Well, and seeing how the guy who actually did the best King adaptions so far (Shawshank and Green Mile) is behind this, I'm not forced to say "well, nice move to actually make a movie of it, but I don't want to see it cause it'll be set on MARS and feature CYBORGS!" or something similar...
Anyway, I don't know if and how this story has influenced the writers of the Silent Hill games, but there are some similarities, even if only in athmosphere. Though "monsters in the fog" isn't exactly a novel concept, but in my head the GAME town of Silent Hill was OF COURSE located somewhere in Maine.

The movie clips though do the source material justice, as they indeed look like what I imagined the story to look like.
Cheap CGI... Pfft... I really don't get it why people are SO bashing CG, I mean, they didn't rant about "whoah, totally cheap animatronics!" before CG was big whenever a movie monster was realized via animatronics or any other pre-CG trick...
Those things looke okay to me. They'll do the trick all right...
And, well, the movie does indeed look pretty similar to (parts of) the Silent Hill movie so far, as it's got lots of fog/mist and the actress of Cybill...
I'll be looking forward to this...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, so they adapted the written novel for screen. Big deal. No reason to bitch, things like that happen. Movies are another medium with diffrent needs, especially when it comes to studio / crowd pleasing, so this was to be expected.
I'll see it anyway, so please don't spoil the ending. Now I can actually be surprised by it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
