The Mist has arrived on US Netflix and horror fans everywhere are tuning in to the Stephen King story that is often considered one of his most underrated.
In the 2007 film adaptation of King's novel, David (Thomas Jane) and his son are trapped in a supermarket along with some other townsfolk, when suddenly a mist engulfs the entire city, bringing along bloodthirsty creatures that devour anyone in their path.
The film was directed by Frank Darabont, best known for his work on The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, both of which were critically acclaimed so The Mist is definitely considered to be one of his most underrated adaptations.
Confirming the exciting news that it has been added to Netflix, their official US account wrote: "2007's The Mist is one of the most terrifying Stephen King movie adaptations ever — in large part thanks to an Oscar-worthy performance from Marcia Gay Harden as an unhinged religious zealot."
