One of the most shocking, disturbing, and heartbreaking endings of any movie made.
*funny
damn man, @@culer2398. seek some help
* dumbest 😂
i thought it was so dumn and funny lol
One of the most unrealistic endings of any movie ever made, because in real life the military that caused the problem in the first place wouldn't come to everyone's rescue in the end.
The Mist has the most crushing, gut wrenching and heartbreaking conclusion to any movie ever
I know! Those poor creatures, brought into a dimension they didn't understand, only to be vilified and flamethrowered. 😔
🎶In the arms of the giant mist creature, fly awayyyyyy from here.
From this dark, cold, loading bay, and the pharmacy where you die.
You are torn in half, by a giant spiderey
You're in the arms of a giant mist creature
May you finnnnnd some horror here🎶
@@RealBradMiller lol
Stephen King said the movie's ending was better than the one he wrote in the book.
somebody wrote that they took off into the mist to walk rest of the way and hopefully survive, but the book never said if they made it!
I liked the books ending better, more hopeful
well he didn't even write an ending, he just ended it midway like he didn't know what else to write lol
King used that same ending in at least 3 other books. He kinda sucks at endings.
He also said The Dark Tower movie was good. And he’s famously a bad person to ask how to end something, the original literally didn’t have an end.
You may notice a lot of actors from The Walking Dead, that's because the director was the show runner for season one of TWD.
Yes!! I love frank darabont or however it’s spelled lol
AMC did Frank Darabont dirty, I honestly cannot watch the show out of principle. I don't care how many people will repeat "it's actually good", don't care.
Carrol survives everything god damn😂😂
Yeah, thats im aware off brother, thanks for reminding
Thomas Jane was supposed to play Rick Grimes.
So this was a Stephen King novella. The way King ended the novella was them getting in the car and driving into the mist. When this movie came out King said he was upset he hadn't thought to end it this way and that Frank Darabont had balls enough to do it.
Yeah, he basically ended it the same way Hitchcock ended The Birds. Just left it up to reader to decide what happened next, which is fine, but I love Darabont's commital to his ending. There's probably no way it'd make it past test screenings in today's Hollywood.
@@carpetfluff35no, Hitchcock didn’t leave it up to the viewer, did you even watch it? King is a hack loser, who can’t finish a book, and steals anything that’s remotely good..
i read it maybe 20 years ago, i remember some positive at the end like a radio message even if the mist is still there.
RIP Andre Braugher. Gone far too soon, but will never be forgotten.
❤❤❤
NINE!NINE!
whoa, I had no idea he had passed away, truly was a well-rounded entertainer, RIP
Holy shit I didn't even know that! He was the best character on brooklyn nine nine!
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooone!!
How did he die
Frank Darabont is a genius. He changed the ending of Stephen King's novel (King knew about it and liked it), which added an extra layer to the story.
Too bad he was fired from TWD, his season was 10/10, then it just got worse and worse. He really understands horror and dread.
@@Quzga Which is why we see a few actors from this movie in TWD. Apparently, he originally wanted Thomas Jane to play Rick, but he was already doing a project and couldn't do both.
@@gothnate Thomas Jane is so underrated, loved him in The expanse!
Would have been interesting to see how TWD would have unfolded under Darabont, in another universe I guess..
@@Quzga He was showrunner for season 1, and produced S1 and part of S2. AMC fired him because of budget bullshit.
I’d say it’s more schlicky shock value than ‘genius’..
Anyway..
*So I actually live in Maine* and we do frequently get tons of super thick fog, actually as thick and sometimes thicker than in this movie, and whenever it rolls in I always think of this movie and say “I feel like any second now a tentacle monster is going to reach out and pull me into the darkness”🤣.
In all seriousness, this movie is a masterpiece of horror. I was a teenager when I saw it in theaters and it was the first movie that ever left me truly speechless, literally, I was so shocked by it I couldn’t say anything for almost 15 minutes.
I wanna go
I live in Portugal and our town sits on hills and valleys. We often get mist just like in the movie as well. I ALWAYS think of "The Mist". It creeps me out every time, but it sure is beautiful.
5:19
Kristen: " Hey I love her!"
Me: "yeah... about that😂"
She really is an amazing actress. I hated her in this movie. I couldn't stand her! I just wanted her to shut her mouth! 😬 But that just shows what an incredible actor she is!
She's an amazing actor! She was the scariest monster in the film, imo.
I remember my whole cinema cheering when she got shot in the end
Tom janes performance at the end, a guy in so much pain, hes trying to kill himself with a gun he knows is empty. In so much emotional pain he doesnt even know what to do with himself. Excellent performance!
yes amazing actor hes fantastic in punnisher also
Who else jumped immediately to the end? Btw, I'm not suggesting not listening to the whole thing. I was simply curious who couldn't wait for the reaction to THAT scene. Definitely listen to the entire reaction, though.
@TheVas76 Guilty lol
nah, i like to see them gain hope first lol
me
😂 guilty
😂
One ending to a movie that will stick with you for the rest of your life. Outstanding film.
this ending is the most gut-wrenching illustration ever of a normally positive wholesome message: "don't lose hope."
We don't get enough movies like this made. Too many films wrap it up in a neat bow or wink at the camera with a "see you in the sequel".
Though so many people really wish they would have done a sequel, or rather companion piece, of the mom going out into the mist and saving her kids. She probably went through hell.
😂😂why iz this funny
Carol's plot-armor is so strong that it transcended time and projects. lol
Achara: I think we have a good crew of people here...
Me: Ohhh, Achara... 😅
The kid in this movie is one hell of an actor. He's very believable.
He was also in the Dark Knight the following year as Jim Gordon's son.
Every actor, you love them you hate them you care for them
As messed up as the ending of The Mist was, it's also what elevated the movie to another level. Without that ending, it would've been a decent B-movie horror that I would've forgotten about pretty quickly after seeing it. One of those movies that somebody mentions years later and you think, "Oh yeah... I forgot that movie existed. I **think** I saw it." That ending, though, forever cemented this movie in my mind and turned it into a classic horror for me. I'm generally a fan of happy endings in movies but the tragic end of The Mist is exactly the one it needed and I appreciate that they went there.
"The Mist." Also known as "The Walking Dead's Farm Team."
hahaha
On thing that I've never seen anyone else mention (maybe they're not readers) is the Stephen King easter egg that Darabont inserted into the middle of the movie. When the flying things invade the store at night and one of them is threatening Mrs. Carmody, she says, "My life for you." This seemingly works to get the creature to not kill her. This is not, in fact, her appealing to God, like some people interpret it as, but rather her appealing to the monsters. This is reference to Stephen King's novels (many of which are part of a shared universe) in which people on the side of evil pledge their allegiance to a greater evil. (In "The Stand," this is often said by the Trashcan Man, for example.) So basically it's confirmation that Mrs. Carmody is evil, and that this is connected to the greater King-verse.
yup and how its either gan or a different god from one of the universes that was connected to her, hence the prophecy of the boy dying making the mist go away came true
One of the biggest connections is that the giant crab monsters also show up in the Dark Tower series.
Canonically the place where those monsters came from is also where the entity IT is from.
The Mist if one of the best movies ever made. This is one of those films professors at film schools have their students study, for writing, screenplay development, directing, and acting. As dark as it was, this was a perfect film from beginning to end. There's so many varying social levels to this film that can be discussed at length.
To this day, I think this might be the absolute craziest, most insane ending to a movie ever. I remember some critics saying the ending was just plain stupid. Id love to know wtf they were smoking to come to that conclusion.
This movie was filmed in my home town, tiny place called Vivian, Louisiana. That grocery store has been torn down, a bank is there now.
True horror is when you do everything you can and lose everything anyway. In the end, David Drayton lost his sanity as well.
Frank Darabont directed only 4 movies: The Shawshank Redemption (1994), The Green Mile (1999), The Majestic (2001) and The Mist (2007). He also directed the pilot episode of "The Walking Dead" and set the tone of the series.
The man is a genius.
MGH played her character so well, I hated her as a person for a while. Stellar acting!
Also, if it hasn't been mentioned already, three future Walking Dead actors are in this.
This movies has the most soul-crushing ending of anything I've ever watched, read, or dreamed.
... and then he became the Punisher!
This was 3 years after he played the Punisher but yeah
Yeah
Lol
@@kennethstephens1110 So it's a prequel? Actually though, in all seriousness, a cosmic horror story where a guy loses his family to literal monsters and then goes hunting the monsters in a post-apocalyptic, monster-overrun world would be pretty dope.
Basically a story about what monster was the worse Humans or extra dimension monster
5:35 - This guy, actor Sam Witwer, stars in one of the best apocalyptic themed video games ever made, "Days Gone" (2019). He also does voice work for many, many other popular video games, including several Star Wars related games, TV series and movies such as "Solo: A Star Wars Story" (2018).
Most notably for me is Sam's voicing Darth Maul in the animated shows and Starkiller in "The Force Unleashed" games!
44:03 - The moral of the story.... even when it feels like you should, NEVER ever throw in the towel and give up!
💯
Marcia Gay Harden's character is the scariest of all the monsters, imo.
Dale, Andrea, Morales and Carol,all from The Walking Dead are in this movie
Don't forget Sam Witwer as the tank zombie!
"Promise me you wont let the monsters get me daddy."
AND PROMISE KEPT!
Most overlook that when the dad kills him...
“The Mist” has the most soul-crushing, gut-wrenching, heart-rending conclusion to any movie, EVER!
The lady who survived with her kids was the moral of the whole story. They lost hope because it seemed hopeless. while the lady decided since we might die anyway I’d rather die trying and she made it!
The group of our protagonists did try. In the end they had nothing left to try with. Nothing they'd seen and gone through gave them any hope. The lady with her kids should have died, she survived through blind luck. You can try your best, and still lose. Or you can do something foolish, beat the odds and win. That's the real moral of the story: The world isn't just or fair. It doesn't care what you deserve.
@@danieldickson8591 there is no luck,the more u try the more it will wrk fr u
Yeah this movie is deep showing different level of faith on God and it's outcomes.
@@danieldickson8591the difference is they were atheists and therefore they lost hope too soon. God is the source of hope in this situation and they didn't have any hope other than their own ego. There was a point when they could no longer write their own destiny.
Yeah if nothing else, the ending is one of the most memorable "never, ever give up even IF you think all hope is lost" messages haha.
@@barunjena4287 That is wild that's the message you got from this, after everything 😂😂
Stephen King is one of the greatest writers of Horror stories. He just understand and knows how to make good horror stories.
Achara, regarding the iffy-looking CG, director Frank Darabont's original intention was to shoot The Mist in black and white and give it the feel of a B-movie "creature feature" from the 1950s. The studio said no to B&W but Darabont later released a director's cut in black and white. In it, the CG works a lot better because you don't have the weird washed-out color and contrast that we see in the color version. In fact, the black and white gives the entire film a different vibe, much closer to what Darabont intended in the first place.
On the subject of studios shooting down the director's ideas, they also tried to get him to change the ending of the movie to a happy one (which would've been a huge mistake imo) and even offered him a bigger budget if he agreed to do so. Darabont refused to back down on his vision for the ending though and turned down the extra money in favor of filming the ending that he believed in. So, y'know, mad respect for Frank Darabont on that one.
Love Thomas Jane. So natural of an actor. Discovered by me watching The Expanse. Killed his role there.
"Thursday" is probably my favourite Thomas Jane movie
Thomas Jane such a good actor. I recommend the Punisher (2005). You gonna love it ladies.
Loved your discussion at the end. Scariest monsters of the film:
1. What he became.
2. The other humans at the store.
3. The monsters.
I used to watch reactions of this film simply to simply share in the horror and entertaining aspects of the film, now I really just watch for the pure unadulterated entertainment and laughing at the reactors reactions about the last few minutes. I get so much joy out of the terror, dread, and realization on their faces.
you should watch the movie "the Edge" Anthony Hopkins delivers a good line in that movie, when people get stranded in the wilderness, they die of shame. Instead of doing everything they can think of to survive instead they give up and just sit there and die, the ending of "the mist" brings back the memories of Anthony Hopkins saying that and in that movie they are being chased by a man eating bear.
I love this movie because Melissa McBride is the woman who left to go home to her kids and they showed at the end she survived. She plays my favorite character on Walking Dead, Carol ❤ Several actors from that show were on here
I want a parody movie where she is just clumsily getting people who save her killed and accidentally killing creatures the whole movie... 😂 Like Tucker & Dale VS Evil.
Aspirin helps with fevers.
Ollie was the MVP in this film.
Who else noticed that one of the soldiers was Sam, who played starkilled in force unleashed
the painting he's working on at the beginning is of Roland Deschain. King's greatest character from the Dark Tower series, his greatest work, which binds most of his works in his own multiverse
Also, the creatures are not the militaries creation. They're most likely either from Todash space (the space between dimensions) or End World (Roland's dying world).
"There are worlds other than these."
one of the only times changes from a Stephen King story to a movie is for the better. Absolutely legendary of a horror movie ending.
Everybody watching the Mist today!!
Fr, this and Kill Bill lol.
WHo else ?
@@Tushar_995The normies.
Yup the normies too
Ohhhh, off to put that one in the queue! 😊@@Abhayabhayam
The film is a social commentary. The monsters are just the accessory and could have been replaced by other end-time scenarios. This was about the people.
Frank Darabont said you can either watch this as a straight horror movie or you can interpret it as a commentary on the Bush G'ment after 9/11....
Im SOOOO Happy you two got it! So many reactors don't get this movie's message. This story is not about the monsters outside but the ones that reside within ourselves as humans.
Actually it's about both.
Absolutely great movie with a jaw dropping ending!
Fun fact, a lot of this cast ended up in The Walking Dead since the director was one of the creators of Walking Dead and Thomas Jane was originally going to play Rick but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
30:09 He's holding the knife like that so when he throws a punch the sharp part of the blade follows his fist and slices the thing he's attacking. It's a holding technique they teach in tactical combat training which makes sense because his character is a military guy.
46:25 Well, dad did exactly what he promised: no monster got to his son. Imagine the horror of being torn apart and eaten alive by one of these monsters. A bullet is a way quicker and less painful death.
amazing movie, life is more like that rather than hollywood endings, props to the director
RIP Andre Braugher the real legend never forgotten
I... I am a terrible person... watching Kristen, Achara, Steph, et al, get traumatized is the best thing about this channel 😂
I think a lot of people miss the point of this ending. David and those who grouped with him always solved their problems with logic and reason, opposite Mrs. Carmody's fanaticism based purely on faith and nothing more. The ending turns it on its head though; although Mrs. Carmody's "reasoning" is absolutely fucked, to abandon all faith and hope is also wrong; David did the logical thing at the end, but it was a decision giving up all hope. If David had acted with hope that there was some way out, however slim, his son and friends would still be alive.
Moral is, yes, logic and reason is great, up until a point. But you shouldn't yield hope to it. You shouldn't just lay down and die. Without things like hope, a human is nothing more than a robot in flesh. As Andy said in the Shawshank Redemption, "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."
Has anybody noticed there are a lot of cast members from The Walking Dead series in this movie?
Well, there's a reason for that...
I love an ending that stays with you and this one does - that said I've seen people on other reaction video comment how they think it's hilarious that people think it's tragic. Some humans have no humanity.
For some reason i always thought he was painting Jeepers Creepers at the beginning 😅
@Cinepals Yup the perfect two to watch this, that is the biggest gut punch ending for any film ever. not even close
Great reaction video! I love this movie so much; it so beautifully showcases the different and extreme reactions a group of people can have in a completely unprecendented emergency situation. No matter how many times I see it, the ending is always a brutal gut puch.
I grew up on the book and the original audio book. The black and white version is top shelf.
Always go directly to the ending when someone reacts to this movie 😂
the edning is so funny lol
Great reaction - shout-out to legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson for his work on those creatures; there's almost something PERSONAL in how nightmarish they are; see his Frankenstein - I can see why Stephen King preferred this ending; he seems plugged into some connection between horror and comedy, in the way the leap into deeper horror is set up almost like a punchline, the threshold of madness - Frank Darabont made this plus Shawshank, which is why I think he's the closest to King's full vision - there's a Scoville rating for how traumatic a hot pepper is
- it's where it goes beyond a certain point, where you're testing how much food poisoning you can take, how much of a hole you can burn into your own stomach - meaning the more scarred for life you are afterwards, the higher the score
- so the Mist ranks high on my movie Scoville - other films that take us this far into trauma include Brightburn; Come and See; Vertigo; Wolf Creek; Hereditary; Night of the Living Dead; Dead Ringers; Requiem for a Dream; I Stand Alone; The Cook the Thief his Wife and her Lover - in other words, consider yourself warned - Pet Sematary the book does, and the film should feel like this, taking the audience into our own private hell, but no adap's quite succeeded
By the way, fun fact: the idea of the book this movie was based upon was the thing the original Half-Life was created around, i.e. around the science base which tried to open a portal to other dimension and something got wrong. I know, rn it sounds like "what do you mean, it's such a trope" but yeah, it's true. Half-Life was inspired by Stephen King's novel The Mist))
Someone already said this in the comment section but I gotta repeat it….when a real crisis happens the safest is AWAY FROM SELFISH HUMANS PERIOD
Ollie is the mvp in the whole movie.
Melissa McBride is a survivor. I would have liked to see a sequence for this film where we follow his path after leaving this store to find his children.
I've seen people claim that this ending was confirmation that Mrs. Carmody was correct, that they needed to sacrifice the boy in order for God to save the day. This interpretation never made sense to me, since it's obvious the mist had been clearing for some time *before* David made his fatalistic decision.
As a side observation: It always felt weird that this movie was directed by Frank Darabont. He's obviously known for his stellar adaptations of King's "Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile." But stylistically, this one felt totally different. All those zoom-ins, like it's The Office or something.
Director Frank Darabont sure knows how to make shocking and disturbing endings, with this, and also the ending of The Fly II, still can't watch that one to this day.
I love that all of this happens in just 3 days
Notice there are several people who played major characters on the TV series, The Walking Dead, in this movie? Laurie Holden, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Juan Pareja.
This was no coincidence. You know how directors often like to use actors they enjoy working with on many projects..., Well, director Frank Darabont, who wrote and directed The Mist, is also the creator of the TV series, The Walking Dead. Ironically, Darabont wanted Thomas Jane (David Drayton) to play the main protagonist on The Walking Dead (character, Rick Grimes), but the role ended up going to Andrew Lincoln, as we know. By the time Darabont got his show picked up by the AMC Network, Thomas Jane had already signed onto another project. Even some other actors from The Mist made appearances on one or a few episodes of The Waking, including Sam Witwer (Private Jessup), and Tiffany Morgan (Woman #2).
The wasp bug stung the girl. They had wasp type stingers.
This is one of the main reasons. If anything goes crazy I don't want to be near anybody. I'm going to try to get as far away from people as possible because they're scarier than what's out there!
"fun" fact, in the book the main character does hook up with the young teacher in the book. I do agree with them cutting that part
You also forget, the kid made him promise to not let the monsters get him.
So many easter eggs in that opening scene. Painting from the movie poster from John Carpenter's "The Thing," painting of "The Gunslinger" from Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" books, and others... Nice nods.
This movie rivals SEVEN for "gotcha" finales.
You can tell it's gonna be a bomb reaction When Kristen makes that face 😂
And the moral of that story: "When you stuck in a threatening situation get rid of that crazy religious person immediately."
Threatening situation? You don't need that to get rid of the crazies
This is without a doubt, not only one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever, but it’s definitely the most divisive whether you like this movie or not, once you’ve seen that ending, you will never forget it.
This movie’s ending CHANGED me, I tell ya hwat
Whenever we're dealing with Stephen King, it's always the inner monsters that are the worst.
No romance. This is a Stephen King story.
It’s eerie because when he killed his son “the boy” the mist cleared just as the lady said in the store.
religious woman best
The way those men were reacting to the main antagonist( Thomas Jane) on the loading dock was to close to home for me. I have had people react negatively and skeptically to me, out of no where in that same weird and personal way.
No only did Stephen King approve of changing the ending from the book, writer-director Frank Darabont could have had twice the budget for the film, which was what the studio execs offered him if he changed his nihilistic ending. But thankfully, Darabont stuck to his guns so we could have one of the best endings in horror history.
Great reaction, this movie will stick with you forever
Think about it: A bunch of regular people gets locked inside a shop surrounded by walls made of glass, with a crazy psychopath inside, and most of them survived anyway. How terrible was the threat, truly? Those "monsters" didn't act like monsters, they acted like animals. They attacked when they were around them. Closing the GLASS DOORS may have been enough to keep them away. Even the bigger one avoided breaking the building when it put its tentacle tongues through the garage doors. It could have broken the doors easily but it didn't, just like any animal, it explored, stopped watching anything interesting, went away.
But the protagonists didn't see that. They truly thought it was the end of days. If they were able to survive, why wouldn't the army survive? If they could face the creatures, why wouldn't the army be able to face the creatures?
It's tunnel vision, sadly. They should have tried switching their perspective and keep hope.
This movie was so underrated and flew under the radar when it came out in 2007 but is slowly becoming a cult classic.
It's utter trash. The ending is amazing. The rest is cliche unreasonable characters and absurd dialogue. Soap operas have more realism with their character interactions than this.
Don't know his name, but the guy here that was also in Glory, and Primal Fear?
I love him ☮️
The reason the Army dude holds the knife that way is training. If he were to lift it up over his shoulder in that style, in preparation to strike downwards, the bladed side would be exposed as he moved his arm, ensuring he'd slash into anyone who was too close to him. By holding it like that, anyone who is in front of him is exposed to his weapon, regardless of whether he is pulling back in defense or striking out in offense!
Remember, the boy said, "don't let the monsters get me."
Saw it in theatres. I have never been around so many seethingly pissed people by the end in my life. Instant fucking depression
