Trivia:
The Dark Tower poster being worked on by David Drayton was actually painted by Drew Struzan, an artist famous for his movie posters. (Star Wars (1977), Indiana Jones franchise, Harry Potter franchise, The Thing (1982), Blade Runner (1982), etc.) All of the posters in the studio at the beginning of the film were painted by Struzan, as was the film poster for this film. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Towards the end of the film you see a white state police car upside down, when marked Maine State police cars are blue with a round state police logo on the front doors, and the word STATE TROOPER on the front of the hood and above the front wheel well. more

I was very impressed by this adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Mist'. I have been a fan of the story since it came out and have played the text game and have heard the 3-D audio version of it. This is a masterful suspense/monster movie that puts an ensemble cast into the untenable situation of being in a deteriorating situation they cannot escape from. We watch as alliances are formed, religious paranoia takes hold and, nicely, the movie takes the time to establish characters whom we come to care for before the true action begins. I dock it a couple of points because some of the monsters seemed a little too cgi, and the middle lags a bit, but the much talked about ending is indeed awesome and I was most impressed by the director's decision to keep the music soundtrack down and even eliminate it completely during many of the action sequences. So many movies nowadays crank the music up to 11 to make up for the fact that their suspense scenes do not work. This movie does. I was breathlessly on the edge of my seat for most of it, even though I was already familiar with the story. Highly recommended.
