7. The Mist (2007) – Rating: 7.2
Frank Darabont directed this truly horrific thriller, based on a Stephen King novella, and several members of the cast ended up in his TV show, "The Walking Dead," including Jeffrey DeMunn, Laurie Holden, Melissa McBride, and Thomas Jane, who was almost cast as Rick Grimes.
The core of the story is pure King: An otherworldly mist descends on a small town, bringing with it bloodthirsty creatures. A group of residents end up trapped in a supermarket, where the better and worse parts of their nature emerge as they try to escape and survive.
This is a great sci-fi horror, perhaps downvoted a bit for the over-the-top religious angle or perhaps because of the changes from the book. But that ending! Come on, now. FYI, there's a TV series adaptation of King's story now in development, with a pilot ordered from Spike TV.
