The funny thing is that I happened to catch the latter half of this movie, without any sound whatsoever (long story), and I was just as unimpressed with it as you were. I was holding out relatively high hopes, given it was a Stephen King story, and featured multilegged aliens striking from the shadows, but the characters were archetypal (sp?), the plot formulaic, and the ending just plain stupid. I would almost say I have seen better SciFi Channel Original movies… though the F/X in Mist were significantly better than those average.
