Plot Summary: Three-time Oscar®-nominee Frank Darabont ("The Green Mile,"
"The Shawshank Redemption") reunites with horror-master Stephen King to write
and direct this chilling adaptation of the author's original short story.
Following a violent thunderstorm, artist David Drayton and a small town
community come under vicious attack from creatures prowling in a thick and
unnatural mist. Local rumors point to an experiment called the 'The Arrowhead
Project' conducted at a nearby top-secret military base, but questions as to the
origins of the deadly vapor are secondary to the group's overall chances for
survival. Retreating to a local supermarket, Drayton and the survivors must
face-off against each other before taking a united stand against an enemy they
cannot even see!

keeps you riveted to the screen simultaneously...more
There
is a mind behind Frank Darabont's windy adaptation of a
Stephen King novella, but it is twisted to cynical and

Stephen King is all things to all filmmakers. To Frank
Darabont, he's a left-of-Noam-Chomsky nihilist who thinks
the military and the religious right are to blame for
anything and everything that ails us...more
