4/10, only because I think the Mist might win
Really the worst money grab I ever seen. There is nothing interesting going on in this horrific (pun intended) adaptation of a Stehen King novella. I can only imagine it is King's difficulty making condo payments that has led to this debacle.
The series is comically bad. Everyone in it is a stereotypical bigoted version of an everyday American. You are left desperately looking for at least one redeeming character. Even the 'rape' victim is a whiny self-absorbed brat that keeps finding herself alone with her love interest, yep you guessed it, the supposed rapist.
But we can forgive her for following him around can't we, he does prove to her he didn't do it, by touching her hand, then showing he can walk away. Good grief. I'm thinking we are gonna find out later he is secretly gay. It is the only way to redeem a All Star Jock-type these days.
The 'Reverend', every King story has one, is strangely defensive when it comes to 'his God', so much so he is threatened by a crazy lady that believes a spider she found in the church is God.
A coward bully cop who's son is???, you guessed it, the accused rapist, and guess who he is stuck in the same church with???, you guess it again, (if you didn't your just not paying attention) the dad of alleged victim. Awkward!!!. Let's talk about dad.
I think he will be the hero in the end, why, because he wrote a children's book. And if there is one thing I know about King stories is the writers that find themselves in it, are always smart intellectual-republican-hating types, that are always heroes, and they are also always white men. Just saying...
Back to "The Mist" (say it spooky) and you find that scarier than this pond-scum of a series.
Alyssa Sutherland, no relation, she's just a huge fan of 24, seriously, look it up. Is playing her most unlikable character to date, and I am including Vikings, where her murder was cheered the world over. She is a cheating-whore (their words, not mine, the rest are though) a murderer, a bully, and self-absorbed. She is also the mother of the supposed rape victim.
Sutherlands character is a know-it-all that does not like following other people's rules and this leads to the death of a child. Mommies need their wine breaks. But that's okay, they will blame that on another 'teenager' that they will send to his death, because now of course, we must follow the rules.
Which rule, 'Bust a deal, face the wheel', sorry wrong movie, I digress, 'make us unsafe and out side you must go' even if opening the door is the action we are accusing you of doing that led to the death we are blaming YOU for. I know, it's tough to follow the logic.
Even the gay kid is becoming irredeemable as we are now finding out, he is a liar about the whole, "I saw him rape her" scenario. I'm gong to predict, the football-jock-star-quarterback rapist he accused, is a secrete lover of his. If I am wrong, please forgive me I'm only three shows in. But I do know my King.
I short, I am rooting for the Mist here. So I will say a prayer to the Mother-Earth Spider-God, Please give the Mist the strength to KILL THEM ALL!!! In the name of your only begotten son, Stephen King.
