Stephen King = Good Flick

Familiar set-up gets good results when focusing on the human elements and dilemmas inside the grocery store, showing its monsters just enough and giving its ironic ending a disturbing spin; if it has a flaw, it's the insufficient explanation of the mist itself. At least there's plenty of dependable character actors to keep it lively amid the claustrophobic setting. Director Frank Darabont continues his streak and goes 3 for 3 in Stephen King adaptations, including The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. Final Grade: B
