Prime Video: 12 Sci-Fi Movies You Should Add to Your Watch List Right Now

Frank Darabont took a significant risk when he turned Stephen King's novella, The Mist, into a movie. With a stacked cast led by Thomas Jane, the story is simple enough: A group of small-town folk get trapped in a store as an otherworldly mist unleashes unimaginable horrors outside. Soon, factions are formed, and -- while the terror outside remains mostly unseen -- fear causes chaos among the survivors as they struggle to make sense of the threat and each other. Darabont's ending is a heartbreaking departure from King's story and, indeed, what makes this movie pop.
