Review: The Mist by Stephen King

The Mist emphesysis the weakness and recklessness in humanity the moment that there is something to fear. It takes place, mainly, in a grocery store after a massive lightning storm Dave and his eight year old son, Billy are trapped inside along with a large crowd of other shoppers when a mysteryous mist roles in. A man runs in from the front door with a bleeding nose telling them that there is some sort of supernatural creature lurking within the mist. Emediatly people go insane and, for some reason, run out the front door without paying for their groceries. In true horror fashion, none of them are ever seen again. Mrs. Carmody convinces people that this is God's reckoning and even convinces them that she is an embodiment of God himself. She has created a mob that believes that Billy must be sacrificed to save them. Soon, the creature attacks and there are horrific casualties. The Mist is a true horror classic and has recently been turned into a movie by LGM and Univeral.
