Films based on Stephen King’s work have been produced for over $2 billion at the box office. Even in a billion dollar blockbuster, that’s a stunning number. A writer is responsible for films that collectively call the GDP of many small countries.
In many movies, he is most misunderstood in 2007 fogthis movie deserves praise.
Frequently participated in Stephen King collaborator Frank Darabont to direct it and in a comprehensive film production that includes huge box office revenue fog Almost in the middle of the backpack. It made $57 million (budget of $18 million), but certainly didn’t catch the world on fire.
At that time and now, critics are lukewarm about it, and currently, critics have a 60% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Compared to Frank Darabont’s early Stephen King adaptation Shawshank redemption (Failed at release, just reevaluated as a modern classic) and Green Mile (This is not worth remembering, but earning a quarter) fog He is a person who doesn’t start.
These numbers don’t do fog justice. This is one of Stephen King’s most terrifying film adaptations.
Different it With its lo weak killer clown or Pet semi-careThe haunting Revenant Roadkill Cat in this movie, nothing can be sold in this movie. Of course, there are a lot of monsters in the titular fog of the movie, which are masterpieces of horror design, but they are not the real villains of the movie. Like many wonderful movies, real monsters fog It’s human.
The story of the fog
fog Adaptations from Stephen King often start in a small Maine town full of unique characters. After the thunderstorm wreaked havoc on the town of Bridgeton, visual artist David Drayton (Thomas Jane, do some of the best work) ran to the local grocery store with his neighbor Brent Norton (Andre Braugher) in preparation for supply, just to find a low-level panic pattern that has been already with Townsfolk.
The film clearly shows that Drayton and Norton have had tensions in past conflicts, but it also portrays them as fundamentally willing to try to conflict through their conflicts. Unfortunately, this is not the development of things.
Nominal mist shrouded the town and collected a group of shoppers, employees and military personnel from nearby bases. The film’s outstanding performance in the ensemble is played by actors such as Marcia Gay Harden, Toby Jones and William Sadler.
A trapped shopper is frightened by a man who runs out of mist and claims that “something” is there. No one believed it until the tentacles began to grab people and tear them apart, the insects and monsters invaded the shop, and the religious fanatic Harden began to predict the end of the world.
Although the bondage of HP Lovecraft monsters lurking in the fog (Stephen King and Frank Darabont is never fully explained, the conflict is about people turning to each other and getting rid of common sense and morality.
The best thing about fog is why it’s not a big hit
Not surprising fog Not really a theater blow. As expected by a movie about monsters and mist, it’s a dark and gloomy movie. In the heyday of obvious torture porn movies, this way felt claustrophobia and stressful saw;The horror and tension are not in the sting (although there are many), but seeing society suddenly collapse.
Of all of this, the biggest thing holds fog Returning has always been its ending. It is famous for the bleakest ending in film history, a finale that runs contrary to the original novella and is signed by the author himself.
Everything I listed is the reason fog Not executing is also the reason to see it. Nothing like it. fog Is the ideal way to get to Stephen King horror movies, hoping to be with trusted loved ones, rather than in a theater full of monsters that can open you if the monster appears.
