- The creatures of the Mist were essentially entities from an alternative reality that travelled to earth via an interdimensional rift created by a military scientific-endeavour called the "Arrowhead Project".

BLOODY POND LIVES True. Ollie is hardcore
Ollie is the GOAT of The Mist's universe.
KissMyAspergers of course because he's Arnim Zola
@@Daa_Black_RainbowHeil Hydra
Ollie was my fav!! The true gangster of the story
The ending is one of the most painful endings in the cinematic history.
I really appreciate that ending. It was ballsy af
It was even worse than king's original ending.
@@srjwari what he did after that was cash in his money for the great acting, duh!
and one of the worst
A better ending would have been a pan outward that showed the entire earth enveloped in the mist.
Now I don’t wanna sound weird but I’m terrified of the Massive Acid shooting Spiders. I dunno something about Massive Acid shooting Spiders make me wanna crawl into a Corner and pray
Same.
Well ... Praying alone cant help . buy a gun and defend yourself 🐧
Sounds like youd get along with my friend mrs. Carmody, she loved praying in the face of mean bugs
Maybe. . . now hear me out, *maybe* it's because they're acid shooting spiders 😂
😂
I dont blame you i hate Spiders.
The biggest monsters were the people who listened to the *obviously crazy lady*
Adrian Naranjo The biggest monster was the crazy lady herself.
@@garthdavis4320 say what you want but they probably survived
The thing is, everything she had said had somehow come true
that Cripple guy on shear “dumb luck”.
@@MrMatt034 fair enough
I always liked this king story because the threat isn't inherently evil. They're just wild animals in a foreign environment.
Fuck those spiders man. They’re too terrifying to live XD
I love this point of view.. I never gave it a thought if they are bad or good.. But now that you said it... It's true and it made me think
True but I still want to cleanse them in nuclear fire.
@@oliviaalmonds2255 yeah and it was funny how tenticales sniffed out the dog food.
@@promeneuzivotu117 🤣
One of the most terrifying but beautiful of stories, with every creature having its own mannerisms and each more deadly then the last, and with the right amount left vague for the imagination to fill in(are these young or old, how would they change in reaction to being on earth(if they would)), as well as how humanity would have to change(now knowing of such a grand threat), always reminded me of Lovecraft
mr. mr. Lovecraft is amazing on expressing horror the way this one expresses it.
@@bryan.p4072 Lovecraftian creatures weren't just monsters, they were ungodly abominations with deity-like powers. These monsters were oridinary biological creatures who were triving on a different planet.
@@TheLambdaTeam the Old Ones yeah, but creatures like the mi go or the Elder things were just simple organisms.
@@TheLambdaTeam Yea lovecraft's were just intelligent and infinitely powerful creatures and these one are just like normal insects but scarier looking
It still shares a lot of lovecraftian aspects. The fear of the unknown. The grey widowers were definitely intelligent and very much malicious and evil. It is hinted that these monstrous abominations are from the toad h dark, the place between spaces in Stephen Kings universe. This is also where Pennywise the clown comes from. This is what gave the story and movie it’s lovecraftian feel. Oh, and the fact that the door to this dimension was opened by us. Messing with powers and things we have no idea or comprehension of how to control or contain.
Behemoth was just wondering around like a big boi
Bonus: the crazy lady was the worst creature
I was happy when she died.
What did she do?
Wandering*
Anticlickbait she is their leader once she died they began to be held back by the army
She wasnt crazy ... she was religious
The Mist: *exists*
2020: Write that down, write that down!
Call the Australian tehy gonna slaught them like Soviet in gulag.
Oh god it hurts
Please be funny
@@nosferatuoddz7974 i cant
Nah nah dont even joke about that shit lmaoo
The ending of the film was the most darkest and uncomfortable scene's I've ever watched
It's worth noting that Half Life 1 was inspired from The Mist
@CKS1949 The world of Xen was actually not that hellish or scarry, but rather intriguing and fascinating. Damn, those healing pools were awesome.
no it wasnt
@@ac300
Bruh
Silent Hill too
That's a video game I'd like to see as movie well made🤘
I just watched the movie.... the ending.... no words.. I had to force myself to remember its a fictional movie, that is how serious and potentially traumatic it was.
Hands down, emotionally compelling wise. This is the best movie I have ever watched.
I love how unique they made the monsters for the movie, they each had their own reasons as to why they were scary instead of being all built off the same design with different variations
Big fan of the Mist. Probably top 5 horror movies for me.
This was also a great video, as I've come to expect from this channel at this point.
@Kaleb Pelkey Yeah ikr?, it's really these messed up endings that makes it THAT real for me.
I watched this when I was young and it toally blew my mind. God I love this movie
@Kaleb Pelkey Actually, this ending is a trillion and two times better than the book's ending.
After Attack on Titan, I'd like to see Overlord explained
Can't wait to see him dive into Attack on Titan. I started to see the whole "The titans are us" plot twist coming when Eren turned into a titan for the first time. Did NOT see the whole Nazi genocide twist coming in the manga. And I was very glad that in the end Reiner and Bertholt were shown to be just as scared of their government as Eren, Mikasa and Armin were of theirs.
In the end though, Zeke did the worst possible thing for retaining the loyalty of his attacking Titan shifters. He allowed them to humanize their targets in their mind. And its beautiful in a sad way that this is what eventually became Reiner's undoing. In the end, you can't hate either boy for what they'd done, even though their actions killed thousands of people. And you can't blame Eren for his rage either. I just hoped they'd change the anime plot and let Ymir stay. Figures they'd make it so that the one gay couple in the story is separated traumatically.
@@jgfjgfify one of the best Isekai I've ever seen
@@jgfjgfify Anime was a let down, now the Light Novel, Mmmh Mmmh top tier shit
Also evangelion with the evas and angels could be cool
@@spacenai4461 I think he meant the Horror film,not the isekai anime
This film is so underrated... I watched it in my early teens and found myself fascinated by the monsters (hence, my love for Lovecraft was born), and that ending is one of the most painful and raw moments in movie history
I find movies that are filled with many different looking creatures that make those creatures act like real animals extremely fascinating. It gives the animals a real feeling to them.
I wonder if you can talk about what material Thanos's sword could've had in Endgame, could it have been made of Uru? Since it was able to cut through proto adamantium laced with vibranium (Cap's shield)
We know he went to the dwarves who made Mjolnir in order to have the gauntlet made, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had his sword made at the same time or even before (Possibly how he knew about them for the gauntlet).
Uru is the only thing I can imagine would be able to do it. It must also have more powerful enchantments than Mjölnir as Thor's hammer hasn't been able to put a dent in Cap's shield.
Thors hammer likely had entirely different enchantments than Thanos's glaive sword.
Dude, obviously he just used the rotor from his thanos-copter.
You are everyvere!😆
So a couple of things to note:
In the last video describing the movie I noticed that the Military came by and either killed or burnt the monster and helped clear up the mists. This was an amazing detail.
Why? I've always hated the notion that just because something is not from earth that they are immune to our weapons and technology. I love in this move how even though these things are increasingly scary and dangerous as hell they still have to follow the same rules or life and evolution that our own dimension does.
Example: The spider was shot and immediately killed because as scary as it was the flesh was just as fragile as ours. The flies when they bit a human it cause our bodies to react to whatever was in the flies saliva or whatever it was to react and kill us as its likely so foreign that our immune system have no chance of fighting it. These were also easily killed as well, and they were attracted to the light as well.
The Biology of the dinosaur looking bird was also apparent because it could easily see through or at least used some time of eco location to easy catch one of the super flies and eat it.
The Legs were also designed similar to be able to grab there prey and kill while being able to land and walk around if necessary. The Wings were an evolutionary advantage as the creature could fly more easily throughout the air with no issue's. The creature also had eyes that it used to see the people in the store and react to the light, not to mention a tongue.
The Giant Creatures with Massive Legs I don't think would have been able to survive because Science tells us that if a creature is that large on our planet that it would likely collapse under its own weight which is why we never evolved to be so much larger. I mean even the biggest dinosaurs were nowhere near that large. Even those biggest dinosaurs had the hardest time moving because of their size and the amount of weight they had to carry.
Basically what I am saying is that it looks like Evolution of DNA works similar in there dimension as it does ours.
I really liked how this showed us the very primitive nature of man. Once we are faced with situations that we can't understand why we show how dangerous and selfish we can be?
A prequel to the mist exploring the Army's experiments would be good.
So, basically Half-Life the movie?
That one scene at the end of the movie, the many stories high creature called Behemoth. It's very size makes it dangerous, I've liked to have seen the airstrikes they had to launch against it. It was so large the very bottom of it's leg were ripping out telephone poles as it walked
I don't think the US military would hesitate leveling a small town to kill a foreign alien threat. The media will handle it like it did 9/11
God I love monsters like these and the ones on Cloverfield they're my favourite just a shame there isn't that many monster movies similar. :(
Yeah they end up being cheesy
Dude, I've been waiting forever for this
2:53 "Lobstruosities". Oh I always love a good pun. Subscribed
Lobstrocities is also the term Stephen king uses in his dark tower books to describe the creatures found in the western sea.
I’m so excited for your attack on Titan video, it’s such a deep reflective universe! I hope you do more anime related videos in the future, there are so many unexplored concepts in them💕
The creature on the thumbnail looks like some type of Eldridge horror
The thought Process on this movie is amazing.
Damn...
I really want another Mist movie~
A sequel would be awesome, I agree wit' ya :) That piece of turd Spike TV made wasn't even about the Mist, just some crap with identical title.
If this channel covers anime, life is nearly complete! Given the name, I'd LOVE LOVE to hear/see videos of you reviewing the works of Junji Ito
Most of the creatures resemble the ones Roland and his tet see during their ride on Blaine the mono while crossing the waste lands. Also, the larger creatures, like the behemoth, look like the ones that reside in the Prim. It would be interesting to find out from Stephen King if the portal opened by the Army’s Project Arrowhead led either to the wastelands or the Prim itself.
The Waste Lands has no white mist, so it's unlikely.
I gotta tell you man , even if I didn’t remotely care about the content you’re talking about your narration, getting to the point, but giving adequate clips and edits is just... 👌 Easily changes my mind on them before. Love your videos so much
I think they came from the Waste Lands that Roland, Eddie, Jake and Suzannah rode through on Blaine during Dark Tower 3.
That's an interesting theory I actually believe that.
I like how the behemoth is just wandering around not openly attacking or hurting anyone. But it's sheer size makes its dangerous
Love this movie, also anyone else think it's bad ass that fallout4 Far Harbor DLC is based on this.
The Mist was great! A terribly underrated film.
morlockmeat I agree
The only thing I learned from this movie: When trying to survive an apocalypse, eliminate all religious Karens immediately by any means necessary.
Edit: Spelling
S p e l l i n g
It is a must, to eliminate the super religious ones
Religion isn't the problem. Antisocial people are the problem
@@stupidandboot4507 true
Hey niyat, could I ask for a video on the head crabs from half life? I really love your videos. Keep up the good work
If they scared the Punisher, then im scared.
The most terrifying monster is the evangelical lady.
She wasn't really evangelical. They even said it in the movie - she was too Old Testament. An Evangelical would have talked more about the New Testament and told people how this was a fulfillment of prophecy and the only escape would be to accept Jesus and repent. NOT BLOOD SACRIFICE.
Which is a pretty hateful aspect of the film, TBH.
@Reluctant Human I am an atheist but sheesh, reign back the religion bashing. You’ll find idiotic fanatics everywhere, religion in of itself is not a bad thing.
Its funny how people try to defend the evangelical Karen. I went to church school like a lot of Americans. I didn't know Christianity/Catholicism wanted people to act like they knew everything about God and to anoint themselves as saviors. 🤷♂️ Religion is brainwashing if applied incorrectly
@@The.Orange.Wizard Yeah that’s because King as well as a pervert is an anti-Christian d***. I think you and I both know that he and the film makers would never have done something similar to Islam or any other religion really.
I wish there was another movie like this. Imagine what special effects could do now with a proper budget.
Lack of imagination over good effects? Nan, let the mist remain unique and special. Less is far more.
The monsters were my favorite part of the movie.
8:53, do OVERLORD!!! Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉
I’ve been waiting so long for this!
“Fleshy, pink flesh”
A kinda fleshy flesh.
The kinda fleshy flesh that feels...
Fleshy
I'm a simple man, I see FilmComicsExplained, I click
I was always REALLY curious *where* the mist monsters came from, thank you so much for satiating my curiosity!
Dudes must've came from a moist af world cuz all my manz be having a stroke the minute they step outta the mist 🤣
The thing is at 3:40 with the part about the neurotoxin causing suffocation, that technically isn't correct since as you said, it causes swelling and the woman that got stung got stung in the neck, so it's pretty clear the swelling was so bad that it was more than likely blocking up her wind pipe.
Well, don't forget that this is an otherworldy creature - its neurotoxin may behave differently than the species' we know.
On your next vid can you do a video on THE VAMPIRES FROM BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER please.
Respect dude and keep up the epic work keep well 😃👍🏻.
Please do part 2 of Interstellar it’s been almost 2 years.
I love this movie and short story. I like that we both have a happy ending and a sad ending.
This couldn't have come out at a better time. I'm currently revisiting everything mist related movie,book, show(which is both borring and terrible and the only connection it has to the film is the title). Thank you for this video.
The mist is literally Half Life 3 or The Seven Hour War or even 1187 or Gmod + with the 7 hour war
Lost Planet as well. Just without the battle mechs and the advanced tech.
the most perfect movie in depth explained channel ever.. other channels just summarized a whole movie and those channels sucks!!.. keep it up man!! 👍👍👍
Fun Theory: Cloverfield comes from the reality where The Mist originated
Is that true?
@@itzflacko3076 Nope
Cloverfield and the mist have the same vibe and eerie feeling that makes them so addicting to watch, i love this kind of horror
They definitely opened a gateway to Beelzebubs' domain considering all the religious and bugs
And here’s me thinking gangster killed Frank Castles family.
Loved this movie
HIIII
Love your vids
I really would love Niyat to do a video on the Tyranids from 40k, like holy shit it'd be good!
These creatures reminds me of the beings on my home planet
Same thing with the mist
Thank you, thank you for this (and all your uploads!)!
5:15
"Unlike other creatures in the film, the tentacles would decompose into a sizziling pool of black liquid within seconds after being seperated from the atmospheric conditions of the mist it needed to survive."
Oh boy....
First: The tenctacles were reaching far into the loading bay that didn't have any mist for over 1 minute without any sign of decomposing.
Second: When chopped off from its tentacle, the "mouth" and rest of what was chopped off lay in the loading bay for over 10 minutes without decomposing.
Third: The tentacle decomposed ONLY after being poked with a broom and its nerves activated and wriggled around for a while. Suggesting that decomposing happened after the cells ran out of energy, similar to how frogs legs "dance" when salt is poured on them, but only for a short time before the cells ran out of energy.
My analysis of this specific thing, is that the tentacles disintegrate/decompose rather quickly when the cells that make up the body are depleted of energy. Wether that is down to the anatomy of the creatures biomass requiring constant energy to stay as a solid form (which would explain its rather aggressive pursuit of any possible food source), or some other fiction reason, I don't know. But what I do know is that the sentance uttered at 5:15 is totally wrong.
Otherwise, good video!
Or... you know.... the movie director decided to save up on special effects costs. Something that was mentioned multiple times throughout the video. On top of that, filmscomicsexplained seemed to have been quoting from the book.
@@sargeantgamerful yes but as we all know the film differs from the book, and this should have been mentioned in the video
@@slinkerdeer It was, though.
My bro you honestly deserve more credit for all your hard work 🔥🔥🔥💯
Why hasn’t there been a open world survival game like this?
SO HAPPY FOR THIS VIDEO
this is honestly one of my favorite movies but the monsters were weirdly confusing
I wonder if planet x is a world similar to ours but with much harsher atmospheric conditions, higher o2 levels and less gravity and is just going through its Jurassic or triassic period.
Well, it appearz that the creature's dimension has oxygene-based atmosphere (otherwise the monsters would suffocate), day-to-nite transition, and a gravity very similar to Earth's.
@@TheLambdaTeam man, and here I thought I was nerding the place up up. Lol jk well said
@@botep5529 LOL, me an' muh buddies are workin' on an FPS game, which will involve Bridgton and the Mist, albeit for only one level, so I had to think about the whereabouts and living conditionz of them creatures. The tentacle monster will be omitted from da game, but there'll be about 3-4 new breeds, including the Killer Kite and that green dragonfly-thing mentioned in the book.
@@TheLambdaTeam dude that sounds badass, good luck sir
The ending of this movie is terrifying. Nice movie.
I really wish we could’ve seen the tentacle beast.
Day: foggy
Me: SOMETHING COMING FROM THE MIST
Man i just found your channel and I have to say your channel has a lot of great movies recommendations
The book ends with them stopping at a hotel and planning too stay there. My interpreted is that while they tried too rest, something from the mist killed them in their sleep
Can you do a video about the 1988 John Carpenter movie "They Live"?
swear the mist and red dead redemption had the most shocking and sad endings of all time
What’s scary is this is a possibility with every country exploring blackholes etc. Some kind of rip in space and time might happen.
Honestly we are the true "monsters" , even the biggest and strongest predators are no match..
@@luisar5755 Well, seeing how powerful those spider-monsters are, and how easily they reproduce, they could easily kill off humanity.
@@TheLambdaTeam Nope, they dont, we are the true dread in the cosmos..
Amazing videos!!! I know you're busy and have a long list of other things to cover, but when you get the chance, can you maybe review Battle: Los Angeles? Or perhaps the alien race featured in Battle: Los Angeles? Rewatched it recently, and as always, I find it criminally underrated and one of the coolest depictions of an alien invasion I've ever seen. Again, no rush, but I hope to one day see a movie review or alien analysis about Battle: Los Angeles on your channel one day!
This one of the best horror films! Even to this day..I get a little nervous when I see a mist roll in.
I have a question, did the Mist only occured in the US? How would other countries deal with the creatures?
In both the Novella and Film it started in Maine, USA. The Novella has an open-ended conclusion implying that the rest of the world would be overcome but the story stops before we find out. While in the film adaptation, the military is able to stop it before it spreads further
@filmcomicsexplained Imagine your on an African safari trip, the Mist rolls in and you see a lion trying to fight a grey widower or an Arachni Lobster biting a lion in half.
I really need to watch this film
When you realize one of them got killed by the imposter
Several of the monsters were their own mini-apocalypse in and of themselves. The Spiders being the standout example- the amount of eggs they lay and how brutal and aggressive they are. Acidic webbing? They could take over the world alone
This movie was so good, I wish connections were made in other films after. The show sucked so much.
PLEASE DO OVERLORD!! IT WAS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!!!
Funny thing about this movie is, CERN did this as well they were able to see 30 seconds Into another dimension.
That doesn't make any sense. Dimensions are not places.
@@cortster12 it makes alot of sense. The creatures of the most came here from another dimension that the US Army was poking around in, opened a portal and didn't close it in time and all these creatures came out. CERN, is doing the same thing last I checked 30 seconds is the longest it held, but I don't recall if it was worded as a dimension, or a window to another exsitance
@@realist6482 Do you mean in the book or are you talking about a conspiracy thing? It's difficult to tell from how you phrased the comment.
Love this. Thank you so much for everything you make.
Can’t wait for all of the content!!
Finally the perfect video
Did anyone wonder why in this filmed comics explained that you forgot to mention the grey widow spider creatures, they were probably the biggest threat and yet they were'nt mentioned here.
I never heard Ollie still screaming as the crab monster walks off. Horrifying
The real monsters are the friends we made along the way.
Boring bit of general knowledge: Half-Life was based on this :)
Half-life monsters were still a lot less dangerous :) plus, it turned out that the Vortigaunts are actually intelligent.
I lowkey want a full movie where the us militaty fights all sorts of extradimensional mist monsters.
CG Artists: Should we render the models as described in great detail throughout the book?
Director: Nah, make 'em pink or purple or whatever. It'll be fine.
Uh, you do realize their appearance was mostly based on the novel's description? You should blame Mr. King, not the director.
Whenever I think of The Mist, I think of CERN.
Me too
Can't wait for the Attack on Titan Explore Video
Can you do a video on "The Stand" mini-series, about the plague that nearly wiped out all mankind and explain the characters especially Randall Flagg.
Was an intense one
Nice to see your channel grow exponentially. I remember you had about 100k subs. I think.
"Not particularly threatening given their size." Regular-sized wasps activate my fight-or-flight response, these things would probably just make me fall over dead.
I LOVED THE ENDING OF THIS MOVIE
Ooh they're the lobstrocities, i like that theory
I was about to sleep, its 2am but i have ben waiting for this! Yes!
