...I couldn't hack it, found it to be nigh on unwatchable.....by the end of the third episode, I was ready to have creatures kill off the whole cast, just to have some entertainment value...
What creatures?
The lack of creature action and 'WTF could THAT be?' moments was the biggest disappointment, for me.
I haven't seen any monsters within the mist. The mist itself seems to be the monster. The series seems to be based more so on The Fog by James Herbert rather than on The Mist by Stephen King. The Fog is a horror novel written in 1975 about a deadly fog that drives its victims insane when they come into contact with it.
Was Nathalie Raven's story about the mama bear actually a story about herself?
...exactly!....I withered on the vine waiting for mayhem to ensue......What creatures?

The closest they seemed to get was the butterflies. Oh, and the 'Black Smoke Monster' in the bookstore.
And yep, I know The Fog. I've always fancied seeing a decent adaptation made of that. But given the hallucinatory manifestations (the butterflies, the four horsemen turning up for the vicar) it did seem more in keeping with JH's work than SK.
Good point re: Mrs Raven's story. No idea if it was actually about her, but given the scene at the end I guess it could well have been.
You're pretty smart! I didn't connect the butterflies and the four horsemen to hallucinations of an unsound mind. I was merely thinking that half of the characters behaved as if they'd lost their sanity.
A note to anyone who may not be familiar with James Herbert's novel The Fog. John Carpenter's The Fog was NOT based on Herbert's novel. There was not a sailing ship filled with vengeful ghosts in the novel.
...Second, the rape. Not only was it always going to happen, it was also always going to be her 'gay' (bi, at this point, surely?) "best friend". Third, this GBF also turned out to be a sociopath. So not only gay/bi/queer, but also definitely wrong in the head! I see what they did there. Probably unintentionally, but even so, they equated being gay with being mentally and/or emotionally defective...
I moved your post to this thread as there is some discussion about monsters beginning at post #89.Hi, I like the new series, but is anyone else disappointed at the lack of monsters? They should have kept the monsters as that was what made the movie so great. I get that they want to make it a bit different to the movie, but I think a more drawn out version of the movie with lots of different plot twists for the characters would have been better. Is the Mist a military weapon that's gone wrong? A weapon that makes anyone caught up in it have to succumb to their worst fears?
