The preview was atrocious. The movie was exceptional. I haven't read the novel.

This movie explores how humans react in a crisis situation. It is very relevant to social situations in a scenario like peak oil. It has a dim view of the future, but also offers some hope. Highly recommended.

So don't tell us the ending, but what exactly is the catastrophe?

It's an unfinished Steven King short story.

Don't read King's stories. Their' too slow and boring.
The Mist had some standard horror components that were pretty average and I think the mass psychosis went a bit overboard but the ending was 8/10. (I don't like the normal hollywood endings. Look how they butchered the body snatchers with Invasion.)
