Gonna tack on The Mist to your list.

At the very least it stars Thomas Jane and Andre Bruagher, which is a win in its own right imo.

I actually don't think I've seen The Mist, but now I think I'm going to give it a watch based on your recommendation.

[–] Lenny@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Definitely worth a watch! I had not read the book before watching it, which I think was good going into it.

I enjoyed it as a movie outright, but it wasn’t until I did a report on it for a class that I learned to appreciate a lot of the undertones and imagery that I didn’t catch on the first pass. If you come back after you watch it I’ll tell you my favorite subtle thing I missed the first time (which I’m sure is more obvious in the book)!

Also the movie ending is so much better. Iirc Steven king even said he preferred it to what he wrote.

He did! I saw your comment after i posted mine.

Well, that was unexpectedly great. I'd love to hear your favorite subtle thing.

Also curious what the book ending was, if you want to share, @Breadhax0r@lemmy.world.

I think Stephen King is very good at writing stories, but often very bad at ending them; quite a few of his books have great setups but end in an unsatisfying or anticlimactic way. Very much liked the movie ending, though - was not at all what I expected, and very emotionally impactful.

He's even gone on record that the way they ended The Mist was way better than his written ending. Having consumed both, I'm inclined to agree.
