Based on Stephen King's novella, The Mist follows a group of townspeople trapped in a supermarket after a mysterious mist descends on their Maine town. As the fog thickens and monstrous creatures begin appearing, the real horror emerges from within — as fear, paranoia, and fanaticism tear the survivors apart. Directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption), this is one of the most uncompromisingly bleak and effective Stephen King adaptations, featuring an ending that provoked one of the most intense audience reactions in recent memory.
