Both Adaptations of This Stephen King Novella Completely Missed the Point
There are few authors as well known as Stephen King, an author so unbelievably prolific that, even discounting his numerous actual novels and just focusing on his short stories, his body of work is titanic. King has reportedly written over 200 short stories, many of which have been compiled into short story collections .
The original The Mist has a very slow start. You get to know the main character, David Drayton, as he and his family clean up after a freak storm has wrecked their home. It’s a quaint beginning, and the story goes a long way to show you just how much our main character cares about his family and especially his young son, Billy.
The worst offender by far, however, is the mist itself. In the original story the monsters are just animals, and they hold no ill will towards the people in the same way that a coyote doesn’t hold any contempt for a chicken. The TV series goes an entirely different route. This time, there are no monsters but rather manifestations of the character's own guilt and self-perceived "sins.
