This is a pretty big departure and tad dangerous as the variety of strange monsters besieging the supermarket in the original is what many viewers would be tuning in to see, and though the film does deliver a fair amount of gore the threat is mostly psychological with most of the threats coming from the people trapped in the mist and not the creepy crawlies that come out of it. Though body parts do get ripped off from time to time. This series takes no characters from the novella, and the monsters that inhabited this strange mist are missing completely in this small screen version, instead the mist itself is the threat as people coming in contact with it are driven mad by visions that it somehow is able to rip from their minds. This is a good story, with good acting, direction and cinematography.In both Stephen King’s novella and this television adaptation of said story there is a strange mist that rolls in over a small town…and that’s about where the similarities end. Action fans might not like it because there is not enough action. Horror fans might not like it because it is not a true horror. Not the best, but definitely worth watching if you like movies with good stories. Whether you think the "monsters" are cheesy or unbelievable, that is not the point as the whole situation is unbelievable, but the movie does a great job of showing you a believable story in an unbelievable situation.

There are not too many moments where the characters are doing something stupid to move the story along.
