The TVI Take
Frank Darabont's 2007 Stephen King adaptation set in a Maine grocery store besieged by inter-dimensional fog-creatures. The structural commitment — that the human-civic collapse inside the store is the actual subject and the creatures are catalyst — is among the King catalog's most-thematically-pointed adaptations.
The 2007 alternative ending Darabont insisted on remains the most-debated narrative decision in horror-genre cinema.
