New trailer for The Mist

The last time Dimension Films and MGM collaborated on a horror movie based on a Stephen King book resulted in 1408, one of few entertaining respites in a summer particularly loaded with terrible movies. Anyway, The Mist has a good director, Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption), and a good actor, Thomas Jane (Boogie Nights), so I have hope this will mean another frighteningly good time at the cinemas. I will admit, however, that the concept of a dinmensional portal releasing horrible monsters into a small New England town sounds a little schlocky.

Enjoy the trailer. The film is supposed to have this lo-fi 28 Days Later approach to it, which Darabont supposedly learned while directing an episode of The Shield, but I'm not sure if I see that yet....
