Horror is not just "spooky jump scare" when well done. Feeling lost, uncomfortable, disturbed, are all part of "Horror". This movie leaves you melancholic, with a bad taste in your mouth. Horrified at the situation, the people etc. Great reaction!

@callmecatalyst I'm really glad to see that I'm not alone in this perspective. Maybe... okay, *probably* a large part of it is just how abysmally shitty that every TV movie of King's work is (It, Tommyknockers, The Langoliers, The Shining, and probably others I've forgotten), but while I'm sure King has written some fantastic stuff, and while directors like Stanley Kubrick have shown that King's books can be terrifying on the big screen with the proper adaptation, so much of his work seems to suffer the same few fatal flaws that keep it from reaching its peak potential: -excessive amounts of characters, most of whom suck (The Mist, It, Langoliers, and Maximum Overdrive are all primary examples of this.) -ridiculously bloated word counts (A book doesn't need to be 1100 pages to be scary. I'd argue in fact that a shorter, less detailed work that leaves more to the imagination will almost always be superior in this regard.) -nonsensical and oftentimes contradictory logic (The entire plot of Maximum Overdrive can't seem to decide on a definitive source of the hostile machine animation, while other stories like The Mist and The Langoliers seem to be happy to barely explain anything about why the plot is happening the way it is.) -most of the scares are just existing ideas that King stole and slapped his own dumb names onto (To paraphrase the Nostalgia Critic, 'instead of aliens, they're 'Tommyknockers'; instead of a 'demon,' there's 'It.')

I think what's even more terrifying than the monsters is us humans and what we are capable of. It shows just how easy it is to lose our humanity when the order of things fails.
That was the whole point. The "monsters" we see are really just animals from another dimension, doing what they do naturally to live. We humans are capable of TRULY monstrous acts out of fear.
It’s called “herd mentality”, Mell ^^ and it’s pretty common in such stressful fear fueled scenarios. People abandon common sense and listen to the person that speaks the loudest and with the most conviction. It’s unfortunately a psychological thing that a lot of people fall victim to. Not sure what would enable someone to overcome it, maybe a higher tolerance of fear but regardless, it’s something that you’ll see in many such movies where a large group of people is left (look at Train of Busan for instance)
@@blinkachu5275 nah speak the truth cause shit like that is actually happening more than usual in the real world, and it’s genuinely sad that it’s true
I sat and cried for at least 10 minutes after watching this film, one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen. You certainly held it together better than I did. Thank you for reacting to this ❤️
There's only one word for this movie: Pain. Fun Fact: During an action scene in the film, a man runs into a wire rotating-book shelf in the grocery store. If you look carefully, you can clearly see that all the books on the shelf are written by Stephen King.
The reason why several people from the Walking Dead show up here is that Darabont was the showrunner for the first two seasons. However, he was fired when AMC wanted to cut the budget which is sad because evidently, Darabont had some amazing plans for the series.
@@fredwin Yeah, from what I heard the reason why that season is basically just spinning its wheels in place is because of all the behind-the-scenes drama.
@@johndoe-uz2kc Even worse, they were going in the wrong direction the whole time. If they'd been going the other way, they would've run into the military before running out of gas :(
@@huber7777 aye the army came from behind, they were probably driving for a long time IN the mist as it was disapating behind them. Thanks for adding another horrible layer to this brutal ending 🙃
Not gonna lie...it took a GOOD LONG WHILE for me to get past how the ending played out. Like, my heart just sank when the military showed and the mist cleared mere minutes afterwards knowing that they were that close to making it out alive 😫
The religious woman was able to take power because she claimed to have the answers to the problem. Everybody is scared, and fear makes you irrational, now the crazy lady that everyone previously made fun of is now an extremist cult leader ordering people to be sacrificed. And the people will do it because they rely on her to fix the problem and know the answers because she make a few key predictions that came true. This movie really focuses on small town mentality and how outsiders aren't to be trusted. It also shows how fast humans go from civilized to barbaric when pressure is applied.
We see the same thing in real life nowadays too on a much larger scale, with people who claim to have “answers” (really just misinformation) to the big questions/problems humanity faces and they spread it online and attract followers Just feeding off of people’s fear and desire for answers
Incidentally, there's a section in the New Testament, detailing a Whore of Babylon. The Whore (also translated as a sinful Idol) leads people astray through promises and admiration, not unlike this nutjob's offers of salvation and safety in exchange for sacrifice and devotion.
@@joshuagross3151 Exactly. But are folks on the Evangelical Christian Right looking at their churches and seeing the parallels to the Whore of Babylon that they SHOULD see? Nope
I’ll never forget that initial feeling I had on my first viewing of this movie. I saw this in theaters out of boredom, and it was the first movie that I remember where everyone in the auditorium was dead silent as we all got out of our seats and walked out as the credits rolled. It was an experience that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
FYI the music from the final scene is “The Host of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance. Their music is amazing. Their female singer is Lisa Gerrard, who went on to greater fame for her film score work.
This story scared me to death when I read it, and the movie ending was soul crushing. The ending music is Dead Can Dance from 1988. I used to listen to the album on repeat when it first came out. Haunting.
His short story adaptations are wonderful. I never thought The Body would become a movie as great as Stand By Me. He has a couple of others I'd like to see made into movies...or at least an anthology. The Ladyfingers story and the Beer monster...
The book ending is just the main characters pulling over and stopping for the night, I’m glad the movie did something different (I like both endings though)
The painting of the cowboy with the tower, the door and the rose at the beginning is actually Roland Deschain of Gilead, one of the most important character in Stephen King's book universe. Basically, in the Dark Tower book saga, it is explained that every reality plane are linked together into a cohesive balance by a pylon, the Dark Tower. Roland is looking for the tower in order to save his own world, on the verge of destruction. This "link" between existences is the way King's linked every single one of his books and novels together. This is why you see characters from one book appears or being namedropped in others etc. Examples : Father Callahan from the Salem's Lot books is also a main character in the Dark Tower. Pennywise from "It" is vanquished with the help of a "spirit turtle", which made little sense in the book "It", but is further explained in the Dark Tower. Etc, etc. The Dark Tower saga is the cornerstone of every book King's ever written and will write in the future
Say true! Long days. Pleasant nights, Gunslinger! The Man In Black goes by many names: Marten Broadcloak, Randall Flagg, The Walking Dude, Bill Hinch 👻 Bango Skank
The most evil reoccurring character definitely is Randall Flag and there could be a very good The Stand and Dark Tower adaptations, but I’d work best if done in order because his character appears in both.
And relevant to The Mist: What Project Arrowhead seems to have done is open what in other worlds is known as a "thinny" - a place where the world is rubbed thin like old cloth and things from other places or . . . outside . . . can cross over. Worse, the thinnies themselves might be alive and malevolent!
Fun fact. The paintings at the beginning are done by Drew struzan who is a very famous movie poster artist back in the seventies and eighties and nineties and actually currently
The director of this film went on to do Season 1 of the Walking Dead on AMC. Until they fucked him over and fired him after they announced the 2nd season. A lot of actors on this film are personal friends of the Director and wanted to help them out and give them acting roles in the series. He's a downright awesome and nice man.
I mean... how do you know though? You know where the people who prayed went after they died? 😂 I'm agnostic, but no reason to put down praying, it literally doesn't negatively affect anyone in any way
Mell - a few things - the reason people were not freaked out by all the Army was due to the fact there was a Army base on the other side of the lake. The Army was always around. As for the lady leaving the little girl - chances are they were right around the corner the supermarket was in the middle of town so people walked there. And I think he said chicken since it would go bad the fastest - you ever leave chicken out to go bad?
Amigo, you really need to do some reading about “The Madness of Crowds”. Get a group of scared people together, and there is nothing so depraved that they won’t do it.
After everything that's been going on this year you were brave as hell to watch this film. This is one of the emotionally roughest movies I've ever watched next to The Road (it's another '...wow, I don't think I need to watch this again...' films). Much love to you man, don't stress your schedule too much, if you try to force it your energy level might drop and we know how much you love to bring your A game. Fantastic reaction as always, I love to hate this film specifically for how harrowing and depressing the ending is. It's a masterpiece of horror, dread and heartache.
Indeed a truly tragic movie. Idk tho i watch alotta horror so I've watched this probably a dozen plus times. The acting and the film in general is very well done . The ending though is insane . Fuck the religious lady with a passion, she was horrible .
Frank Darabont is a genius when it comes to adapting Kings work. He has such an eye for the material and he knows how to add what improved the story and doesn’t take away Edit: OH MY GOD THE SCREAM! When Mello saw that tentacle when they went to turn the generator on I know he saw Jesus, his whole life flashed before his eyes.
I love how different this is to Darabont's two other King adaptations (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile). Just an unrelentingly brutal movie, with interesting behind-the-scene facts and tidbits about the production.
Dude, take your time and do what you need to do. While I and I'm sure many others really enjoy and look forward to your videos, the fact of the matter is your real life and family responsibilities come first - keep up the great comment. Take care of yourself and keep keeping it Mello - peace.
The art located in the house is are all actual movie posters, the most prominent one is for The Thing. The poster he is working on, however, is a reference to The Dark Tower which is another King work, a sprawling fantasy epic that basically connects every story that Mr. King ever wrote (including the mist) to each other, it got a movie as well but it was not very good.
Your reactions are justified. I read this story probably 40 years ago and I've had daymares about going into Supermarkets ever since. It will hit me suddenly...what if the world comes to and end while I'm in the damn check out line with some chicken and chips?? I was so excited for the movie and was not disappointed that Stephen waited until the movie technology caught up with his imagination. Your emotions were on your sleeves with this one Mel and I hope you and your fam are ok.
So glad so many reactors are watching this movie! It's one of my all time favourites, though I can't really watch it that much... it hits hard. Love the vibe, the relatively straight forward story, and holy crap... that ending. Also, the actors in this film - so damned great, their reactions feel so genuine, not over acted or hammy, not flat. Really love this film...and after COVID, the way people reacted? Yeah, 100% people will do that. I think the big thing with this movie, is that the true monsters aren't the creatures outside in the mist but what lurks within people. Love you picked the bloke from Force Unleashed! Great spotting! Small little bit of cool trivia, the Steven King story this is based on inspired the 1998 video game Half Life (If you've never played the original, it follows a scientist fighting his way out of the secret military base after an experiment goes wrong opening a doorway to another universe allowing monsters/aliens to flow into our world) Also, don't fret about not being able to get all the movies up in October mate, your life outside of TH-cam is more important to get to first :)
When I saw this in a theater full of people and this ending happened I don't think I've ever experienced an ending where the entire audience is sobbing and not knowing what to do it's a lot of people crying with their faces in their palms absolute unique audience reaction
"Why would you leave an 8-year-old to watch another baby?" 20 years ago, it wasn't that uncommon to leave an older kid to watch a younger one, when you're only popping over to the shops for a few minutes. Nowadays, people don't do that as much. But back then, practically everyone was doing it.
I don't remember who said it, but there was an interview with one of the production staff of this film and he said that one thing about this movie that a lot of people overlook is the fact that despite her being completely unlikeable Mrs. Carmody was right about sacrifice. She may not have known how or why she was right, but everything she says about sacrifice is proven over and over again throughout the film. The tentacle monster goes away after it takes that first guy, the bugs stop attacking after one stings that girl and had the pterodactyl not been on fire they all would've left after they took that one guy's neck, the pharmacy doesn't count because they went into the spider's place so the rules were different, but after the monster took Ollie they were able to leave, but the point is ultimately proven when Mrs. Carmody says "We'll take the boy and the whore too" referring to the blonde lady and then later after they were all killed (aka sacrificed) what happened? The military showed up and the mist went away. The final scene exampled the forms of acceptable ancient sacrifice offerings, the old people represented the non-threatening and wise, the blonde lady represented the caregiver, and the little boy represented purity and innocence. This is by far my favorite Stephen King movie because there's so much to unpack with it like for example the whole movie being a metaphor of going through seasons of hardship in your life where patience and hope and faith that you'll get through it will get you through anything which is exampled in the short haired lady's actions in the film as she made it to the end and assumingly the people back at the store as well. However, for those who refused to be patience, hold onto hope, and had no faith that everything would clear up, what happened? They ended up with a fate that equaled death or something worse than death in Thomas Jane's character. There's so much to unpack with this movie it's insane. I'm so happy you reacted to this, this is by far my favorite reaction of yours, your roast skills are on point. Lol
I remember watching this movie with my mom on HBO when I was in HS for the first time. I was so shocked at the end of the movie. I thought about the ending for days after watching the movie. I hate sad endings but this movie was and still is amazing to me.
Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, and this version of his short story "The Mist" (which is my favorite short story) is phenomenal, although the ending is radically different. As far as his books go, King and another great author, Peter Straub, wrote "The Talisman", which is my favorite book of all time....but the one book Stephen King wrote that scared me so badly that I almost couldn't finish it was "Pet Sematary"; the movies just could not do the book justice.
Frank puts a lot of the same people in his movies, he produces the walking dead so they pop up too. There are about 6 actors that appear in other Darabont films. This a very accurate representation of people scared and left to their own fear, we turn on each other. Who are the worst monsters? Us or them. That ending is amazing, what a climax
I was like 16 when this came out so a lot of stuff from 2005-09 has a soft spot in my heart as those were my teen years ya know but this movie is still so dam good :)
Darabont is such a talented director and writer, capable of covering all genres. From "Nightmare on Elm Street" to "Shawshank Redemption", the guy has such a legendary portfolio. Back when I first heard he'd be in charge of "The Walking Dead", I was stoked. Then when AMC treated him like shit, I lost all hope for the future of the show. And yes, his ending for "The Mist" is so amazing; not many directors and writers are willing to end on such a depressing note.
The real villain in this movie were humans. Because of nosey scientists who wanted to open up dimensions and people who used religion to falsely guide people. The ending was the saddest part, I’m sure the grocery store people were safe at the end and even the woman found her kids and survived. Especially with the father killing everyone so they won’t be murdered by creatures but they didn’t really try after the tank got to E. They didn’t go find another car, they didn’t break into teams. If it was that deep then the father could’ve distracted the creatures while his son and them got away. But his mentality became so twisted he couldn’t think of anything else. I’ve watched this movie once when it first came out and never again because it’s to sad.
Stephen King knows how to write a good story, a good horror. But the man knows humanity, and I believe that is why he makes such darn good characters! Yes the monsters are terrifying in this movie, but the people... that was just pure monstrosity.
Was waiting for this one. Wish I could watch it for the first time again. The ending left me feeling legitimately sick to my stomach thinking about how I might do the same in his situation. The soundtrack and lack thereof elevates the movie so much. So glad you checked this one out.
"Is that dude related to Frank Darabont?" I think you're talking about William Sadler, amazing actor. He's Death in Bill&Ted, the bad guy in Die Hard 2, and my favorite of his roles is in Tales from the Crypt:Demon Knight, which is TOTALLY a movie you should do this week for Halloween.
This movie left me in disbelief, but it also shows you the mindset of scared and desperate humans that are under distress. A cult mindset, of those that are easily influenced of finding a leader through chaos by all means necessary. The ending was a great result of all of this, sprinkled with a taste of impatience and losing hope. But that bbq chicken joke as a Black woman did leave me cracking up with the subtle pun, whether folks see it or not. 😩😂
Another comment after watching - this movie is the Gut punch movie. It's actually on record by Stephen King saying he wishes he thought of the ending they did in the movie because the story ends differently. As you can also tell, Frank Darabont cast the walking dead with many of the actors here. This is one of my favorite horror movies because it gives you an overwhelming sense of horror, not only from the monsters outside, but the monsters within.
You were talking about how can people be so stupid... A PERSON is a smart, thoughful, rational being. PEOPLE however are animals dumb, scared, panicky and easily misled. A smart person can easily influence a large group through fear and a sense of hope and purpose....
To me this is the definition of a perfect movie!!! And every great movie has a great ending.. and to me the meaning of great is.. surprised/shock and awe..
The scariest bit for me is the holy roller who plays into ppl's religious paranoia, cuz that shit real as hell. Combining religion and paranoia is probably the easiest and fastest way to make ppl turn on each other - I'd rather just go get ate by the monster lol
12:22 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA bro you had me dying xD I really have mixed feeling about this movie... but I know that the novel has a happier ending :D Can't believe the b1tch that left her 8yo son and her baby alone survived lmao
Hi Mell🖐Just had to let you know this is one of the most honest and captivating movie reactions from anyone ever. You're never less than completely open and honest with your reactions but this was next level, my friend ☮❤
I preferred the ambiguous ending of the novella ,I liked that there was a small glimmer of hope at the end of the book . Frank was going through a rough time when he directed this and went the nihilistic route.
The film show how fear changes everything. This wasn't about survival, right, wrong, or morality. It was a showcase of human nature when faced with hopelessness, as represented by each archetype character (denial, arrogance, superstitious, etc). How fear of the unknown, or the uncertain, can fundamentally change what we take for granted, including within ourselves. I appreciate the film taking this point towards its most bleak conclusion. Otherwise the whole build up would have been a waste, and it would have been another Hollywood ending. I think is also worth noting that this wasn't just for shock value. It lead the audience, who tend to identify with the main character, to experience that breaking point, and succumb to what have been the struggle all along.
Forget experiencing that, just watching that and getting to the end breaks you as evident by you starting to cry. I only ever saw the ending of this movie by accident and the depth of the end (depth may not be the best word) kind of just hurts. Its a fictional story but the injustice of the ending.... let me stop before I start crying , thankyou for the reaction sir

The director intended the movie to be in black-and-white. It enhances the lighting and makes the CGI look slightly better.
The DVD release did come with a B/W version . They just desaturated the color from original. It was interesting .
I could hardly get through the ending of this one. It’s absolutely heart wrenching
Yes, especially with that Dead Can Dance song playing.
The fact that they stopped at his house and not at ANY gas station on the way - its the most ironic and ridiculous thing I've ever seen ;DD
There's only one word for this movie: Pain.
Fun Fact: During an action scene in the film, a man runs into a wire rotating-book shelf in the grocery store. If you look carefully, you can clearly see that all the books on the shelf are written by Stephen King.
The painting the main guy is doing at the beginning is also a Dark Tower image.
Ha! Of course they were XD
Love that. Thanks for pointing it out!
Another fun fact: the pharmacy they later take the pain medication from is called the King's Pharmacy.
As a Father it was extremely hard. I couldn’t possibly imagine going through something like this.
The reason why several people from the Walking Dead show up here is that Darabont was the showrunner for the first two seasons. However, he was fired when AMC wanted to cut the budget which is sad because evidently, Darabont had some amazing plans for the series.
He was actually going to follow the comics lol, and then they killed Angela
I didn't know that. Explains why the quality dropped so severely halfway through the 2nd season.
@@fredwin Yeah, from what I heard the reason why that season is basically just spinning its wheels in place is because of all the behind-the-scenes drama.
I'm still upset they kicked him out.
AMC made a big mistake by firing Frank.
Probably THE saddest ending to a movie I have ever watched
No kidding!!,when i first saw that I was like "WHAT!!,GODDAMN only minutes from help!! The absolute irony!!!
@@johndoe-uz2kc Even worse, they were going in the wrong direction the whole time. If they'd been going the other way, they would've run into the military before running out of gas :(
@@huber7777 i didn't even think of that 😳,wow that sucks.
@@huber7777 aye the army came from behind, they were probably driving for a long time IN the mist as it was disapating behind them. Thanks for adding another horrible layer to this brutal ending 🙃
Not gonna lie...it took a GOOD LONG WHILE for me to get past how the ending played out. Like, my heart just sank when the military showed and the mist cleared mere minutes afterwards knowing that they were that close to making it out alive 😫
And they never where actually close for that freedom. Only when the boy was "sacreficed" that the mist went away.
The religious woman was able to take power because she claimed to have the answers to the problem. Everybody is scared, and fear makes you irrational, now the crazy lady that everyone previously made fun of is now an extremist cult leader ordering people to be sacrificed. And the people will do it because they rely on her to fix the problem and know the answers because she make a few key predictions that came true. This movie really focuses on small town mentality and how outsiders aren't to be trusted. It also shows how fast humans go from civilized to barbaric when pressure is applied.
We see the same thing in real life nowadays too on a much larger scale, with people who claim to have “answers” (really just misinformation) to the big questions/problems humanity faces and they spread it online and attract followers
Just feeding off of people’s fear and desire for answers
Incidentally, there's a section in the New Testament, detailing a Whore of Babylon. The Whore (also translated as a sinful Idol) leads people astray through promises and admiration, not unlike this nutjob's offers of salvation and safety in exchange for sacrifice and devotion.
@@joshuagross3151
Exactly. But are folks on the Evangelical Christian Right looking at their churches and seeing the parallels to the Whore of Babylon that they SHOULD see? Nope
@@coyotelong4349 She never mentioned her political standing, though.
@@joshuagross3151
No, but I’m talking about in real life
The Mell jumpscares are becoming classic moments
I’ll never forget that initial feeling I had on my first viewing of this movie.
I saw this in theaters out of boredom, and it was the first movie that I remember where everyone in the auditorium was dead silent as we all got out of our seats and walked out as the credits rolled. It was an experience that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
25:21 I was laughing so hard 😂 this was literally my exact reaction lmao you got a sub from me man, most fun reaction I've seen in a while
FYI the music from the final scene is “The Host of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance. Their music is amazing. Their female singer is Lisa Gerrard, who went on to greater fame for her film score work.
Her voice is so haunting
This story scared me to death when I read it, and the movie ending was soul crushing.
The ending music is Dead Can Dance from 1988. I used to listen to the album on repeat when it first came out. Haunting.
His short story adaptations are wonderful. I never thought The Body would become a movie as great as Stand By Me. He has a couple of others I'd like to see made into movies...or at least an anthology. The Ladyfingers story and the Beer monster...
@@Seereene1 The Long Walk is my favorite!
The ending is one of the most shocking and controversial in horror film history.
Hilarious too in a dark way.
@@sunsetter3796 Shit'll turn you into a journal writer in an H.P. Lovecraft story.
@@sunsetter3796 How?
@@SStupendous because if they would have waited just a few more minutes..
@@JesusRodriguez-rs8jq Oh yeah, I guess so..
The book ending is just the main characters pulling over and stopping for the night, I’m glad the movie did something different (I like both endings though)
Steven King actually liked the movie’s ending was better than his
The painting of the cowboy with the tower, the door and the rose at the beginning is actually Roland Deschain of Gilead, one of the most important character in Stephen King's book universe.
Basically, in the Dark Tower book saga, it is explained that every reality plane are linked together into a cohesive balance by a pylon, the Dark Tower. Roland is looking for the tower in order to save his own world, on the verge of destruction. This "link" between existences is the way King's linked every single one of his books and novels together. This is why you see characters from one book appears or being namedropped in others etc.
Examples : Father Callahan from the Salem's Lot books is also a main character in the Dark Tower. Pennywise from "It" is vanquished with the help of a "spirit turtle", which made little sense in the book "It", but is further explained in the Dark Tower. Etc, etc.
The Dark Tower saga is the cornerstone of every book King's ever written and will write in the future
Say true! Long days. Pleasant nights, Gunslinger!
The Man In Black goes by many names: Marten Broadcloak, Randall Flagg, The Walking Dude, Bill Hinch 👻
Bango Skank
The most evil reoccurring character definitely is Randall Flag and there could be a very good The Stand and Dark Tower adaptations, but I’d work best if done in order because his character appears in both.
@@DaniBlazin Long days and pleasant nights, thankee sai
And relevant to The Mist: What Project Arrowhead seems to have done is open what in other worlds is known as a "thinny" - a place where the world is rubbed thin like old cloth and things from other places or . . . outside . . . can cross over. Worse, the thinnies themselves might be alive and malevolent!
@@gmchris3752 Was going to post the same.
My heart broke for you watching this. It’s a great film but it feels like trial by fire. Time to get your “I survived the mist” tshirt ♥️
Fun fact. The paintings at the beginning are done by Drew struzan who is a very famous movie poster artist back in the seventies and eighties and nineties and actually currently
The director of this film went on to do Season 1 of the Walking Dead on AMC. Until they fucked him over and fired him after they announced the 2nd season. A lot of actors on this film are personal friends of the Director and wanted to help them out and give them acting roles in the series. He's a downright awesome and nice man.
8:59 Yup. Frustrations galore. 12:20 OMG. I've seen this move a dozen times and I've never thought of that. lol
The chicken thing made me die I didn’t even get it ever 😂
this movie proves that people that have crazy beliefs can be dangerous in monster attacks. heck 2012 movie shows praying ain't gonna do sht
Only the hard core nut jobs ones bro
it shows that uncontrolled blind hope in religion isnt good, but the ending also shows you shouldnt blindly give in to despair.
By crazy beliefs, I hope you are including things other than religion.
I mean... how do you know though? You know where the people who prayed went after they died? 😂 I'm agnostic, but no reason to put down praying, it literally doesn't negatively affect anyone in any way
@@jessicamacaulay7462 if their is a hell I know those people in the grocery store at the end went there.
Mell - a few things - the reason people were not freaked out by all the Army was due to the fact there was a Army base on the other side of the lake. The Army was always around. As for the lady leaving the little girl - chances are they were right around the corner the supermarket was in the middle of town so people walked there. And I think he said chicken since it would go bad the fastest - you ever leave chicken out to go bad?
Love that you showed more of the beginning scenes where they weren’t believing. Had the same reaction, “what is you talkin bout??”
Once again, Stephen King does it again. He does things deeper than just horror.
Amigo, you really need to do some reading about “The Madness of Crowds”. Get a group of scared people together, and there is nothing so depraved that they won’t do it.
After everything that's been going on this year you were brave as hell to watch this film. This is one of the emotionally roughest movies I've ever watched next to The Road (it's another '...wow, I don't think I need to watch this again...' films). Much love to you man, don't stress your schedule too much, if you try to force it your energy level might drop and we know how much you love to bring your A game.
Fantastic reaction as always, I love to hate this film specifically for how harrowing and depressing the ending is. It's a masterpiece of horror, dread and heartache.
Indeed a truly tragic movie. Idk tho i watch alotta horror so I've watched this probably a dozen plus times. The acting and the film in general is very well done . The ending though is insane . Fuck the religious lady with a passion, she was horrible .
Thomas Jane & the boy playing his son gave performances that were absolutely outstanding. The final scene was an absolute shock. So well done.
Frank Darabont is a genius when it comes to adapting Kings work.
He has such an eye for the material and he knows how to add what improved the story and doesn’t take away
Edit: OH MY GOD THE SCREAM! When Mello saw that tentacle when they went to turn the generator on I know he saw Jesus, his whole life flashed before his eyes.
I love how different this is to Darabont's two other King adaptations (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile). Just an unrelentingly brutal movie, with interesting behind-the-scene facts and tidbits about the production.
It's a sliding scale of hope starts off positive, ends in misery.
Of course Darabont made Shawshank. That guy's a genius.
So glad to see you back and enjoying yourself, my dude, hope you and your family are healing up and feeling good. 🙏
Now that I've seen the reaction, I'm sorry you had to go through that 😅
Frank Darabont + Stephen King .... A+
Aldo, Marcia Gay Harden was great in this movie ...
"This movie is so much more than i thought it would be"
10 minutes before the ending 😬
Dude, take your time and do what you need to do. While I and I'm sure many others really enjoy and look forward to your videos, the fact of the matter is your real life and family responsibilities come first - keep up the great comment. Take care of yourself and keep keeping it Mello - peace.
The art located in the house is are all actual movie posters, the most prominent one is for The Thing. The poster he is working on, however, is a reference to The Dark Tower which is another King work, a sprawling fantasy epic that basically connects every story that Mr. King ever wrote (including the mist) to each other, it got a movie as well but it was not very good.
The dark tower movie was a slap in the face to every fan of the series. Terrible in every way. It could have been so much more.
@@kurosbelmont2355 Thankee sai, It was horrible.
Such a betrayal
The books are 5? 7? More than one movie anyway. Wish they'd do it properly, I love that series.
Just because you're the Main Character does not mean your decision is always right
Your reactions are justified. I read this story probably 40 years ago and I've had daymares about going into Supermarkets ever since. It will hit me suddenly...what if the world comes to and end while I'm in the damn check out line with some chicken and chips?? I was so excited for the movie and was not disappointed that Stephen waited until the movie technology caught up with his imagination. Your emotions were on your sleeves with this one Mel and I hope you and your fam are ok.
So glad so many reactors are watching this movie! It's one of my all time favourites, though I can't really watch it that much... it hits hard.
Love the vibe, the relatively straight forward story, and holy crap... that ending. Also, the actors in this film - so damned great, their reactions feel so genuine, not over acted or hammy, not flat. Really love this film...and after COVID, the way people reacted? Yeah, 100% people will do that.
I think the big thing with this movie, is that the true monsters aren't the creatures outside in the mist but what lurks within people.
Love you picked the bloke from Force Unleashed! Great spotting!
Small little bit of cool trivia, the Steven King story this is based on inspired the 1998 video game Half Life (If you've never played the original, it follows a scientist fighting his way out of the secret military base after an experiment goes wrong opening a doorway to another universe allowing monsters/aliens to flow into our world)
Also, don't fret about not being able to get all the movies up in October mate, your life outside of TH-cam is more important to get to first :)
Sam Whitaker aka "star killer" is also the voice of Darth maul in the clone wars series
He also took over the palpatine role after Ian Abercrombie died. He was the wise man of the castle in Army of Darkness.
@@jstratton1981 he also played a gay hunk in "it's always sunny in Philadelphia"
The Mist is definitely a favorite King movie & book of mine. Also Carrie, Christine & It (remake, chapter 1).
Don't forget maximum overdrive lol jk.
I had the good fortune to find an original hardback copy of Dark Forces - where The Mist was originally published - for sale at my local thrift store.
@@StarShipGray awesome. Couple years ago I ended up snagging a 1st edition copy of Pet Sematary. Love coming across finds like that
Erm MISERY!???
@@piperuk5366 haven't read Misery yet but did enjoy the movie
Super underrated movie and yeah the ending is heart wrenching.
This movie and The Road broke me. Loved em but can never re-watch em.
When I saw this in a theater full of people and this ending happened I don't think I've ever experienced an ending where the entire audience is sobbing and not knowing what to do it's a lot of people crying with their faces in their palms absolute unique audience reaction
Man I'm messed up since I laughed at the ending
You must live around extremely emotional people. In my theater there was just silence and one guy saying, "Well, that sucks."
"Why would you leave an 8-year-old to watch another baby?"
20 years ago, it wasn't that uncommon to leave an older kid to watch a younger one, when you're only popping over to the shops for a few minutes. Nowadays, people don't do that as much. But back then, practically everyone was doing it.
Are we calling 2007 20 years ago?
25:21 was my absolute favorite part or your reaction. 😂😂 exactly how I felt to those people💀💀😂
The mist is so good! Rip Ollie
I don't remember who said it, but there was an interview with one of the production staff of this film and he said that one thing about this movie that a lot of people overlook is the fact that despite her being completely unlikeable Mrs. Carmody was right about sacrifice. She may not have known how or why she was right, but everything she says about sacrifice is proven over and over again throughout the film. The tentacle monster goes away after it takes that first guy, the bugs stop attacking after one stings that girl and had the pterodactyl not been on fire they all would've left after they took that one guy's neck, the pharmacy doesn't count because they went into the spider's place so the rules were different, but after the monster took Ollie they were able to leave, but the point is ultimately proven when Mrs. Carmody says "We'll take the boy and the whore too" referring to the blonde lady and then later after they were all killed (aka sacrificed) what happened? The military showed up and the mist went away. The final scene exampled the forms of acceptable ancient sacrifice offerings, the old people represented the non-threatening and wise, the blonde lady represented the caregiver, and the little boy represented purity and innocence. This is by far my favorite Stephen King movie because there's so much to unpack with it like for example the whole movie being a metaphor of going through seasons of hardship in your life where patience and hope and faith that you'll get through it will get you through anything which is exampled in the short haired lady's actions in the film as she made it to the end and assumingly the people back at the store as well. However, for those who refused to be patience, hold onto hope, and had no faith that everything would clear up, what happened? They ended up with a fate that equaled death or something worse than death in Thomas Jane's character. There's so much to unpack with this movie it's insane. I'm so happy you reacted to this, this is by far my favorite reaction of yours, your roast skills are on point. Lol
The speed with which they turned to full on righteousness and ritual killing, that I found truly scary.
I remember watching this movie with my mom on HBO when I was in HS for the first time. I was so shocked at the end of the movie.
I thought about the ending for days after watching the movie. I hate sad endings but this movie was and still is amazing to me.
Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, and this version of his short story "The Mist" (which is my favorite short story) is phenomenal, although the ending is radically different.
As far as his books go, King and another great author, Peter Straub, wrote "The Talisman", which is my favorite book of all time....but the one book Stephen King wrote that scared me so badly that I almost couldn't finish it was "Pet Sematary"; the movies just could not do the book justice.
Frank puts a lot of the same people in his movies, he produces the walking dead so they pop up too. There are about 6 actors that appear in other Darabont films. This a very accurate representation of people scared and left to their own fear, we turn on each other. Who are the worst monsters? Us or them. That ending is amazing, what a climax
That rant at 25:20 absolutely slayed me. Great reaction video.
This is tied with the director’s cut ending of The Butterfly Effect for “most depressing ending” for me
Also Donnie Darko
This movie is underrated a favorite of mine still. Loved your reaction , this is something that can totally happen
In the beginning he's painting the gunslinger, Steven Kings best series.
I was like 16 when this came out so a lot of stuff from 2005-09 has a soft spot in my heart as those were my teen years ya know but this movie is still so dam good :)
I love this movie so freaking much. One of the very rare occasions when the movie actually is better than the book.
That poor kid from the military, it didn’t matter what he said, they wanted a sacrifice and his uniform put the bullseye on him. Poor kid.
Darabont is such a talented director and writer, capable of covering all genres. From "Nightmare on Elm Street" to "Shawshank Redemption", the guy has such a legendary portfolio. Back when I first heard he'd be in charge of "The Walking Dead", I was stoked. Then when AMC treated him like shit, I lost all hope for the future of the show. And yes, his ending for "The Mist" is so amazing; not many directors and writers are willing to end on such a depressing note.
It's good that Darabont got his millions from AMC eventually. Now he can return to making masterpieces.
@@FrancoisDressler Most definitely.
The real villain in this movie were humans. Because of nosey scientists who wanted to open up dimensions and people who used religion to falsely guide people. The ending was the saddest part, I’m sure the grocery store people were safe at the end and even the woman found her kids and survived. Especially with the father killing everyone so they won’t be murdered by creatures but they didn’t really try after the tank got to E. They didn’t go find another car, they didn’t break into teams. If it was that deep then the father could’ve distracted the creatures while his son and them got away. But his mentality became so twisted he couldn’t think of anything else. I’ve watched this movie once when it first came out and never again because it’s to sad.
Stephen King knows how to write a good story, a good horror. But the man knows humanity, and I believe that is why he makes such darn good characters!
Yes the monsters are terrifying in this movie, but the people... that was just pure monstrosity.
The message of The Mist, like the message of Night of the Living Dead, is that humans do not do well under stress.
Was waiting for this one. Wish I could watch it for the first time again. The ending left me feeling legitimately sick to my stomach thinking about how I might do the same in his situation. The soundtrack and lack thereof elevates the movie so much. So glad you checked this one out.
For Stephen King books, the most scary in a disturbing and heartbreaking way is definitely Pet Semetary.
This movies causes so many emotions. The ending gets me every time. It is definitely one of the more shocking and sad endings to a movie.
The cashier who dies from being stung was a character created for the film. She doesn’t appear in the novella.
The end bothers me so much... 😔 I saw it years ago and cried my eyes out too at that part.
That’s Stephen King for you. A true modern cosmic horror writer.
"Is that dude related to Frank Darabont?" I think you're talking about William Sadler, amazing actor. He's Death in Bill&Ted, the bad guy in Die Hard 2, and my favorite of his roles is in Tales from the Crypt:Demon Knight, which is TOTALLY a movie you should do this week for Halloween.
No William Demont or whatever
The quality of these reactions are fire, for sure subbing
Would love to see you react to the 2013 Evil Dead
This movie left me in disbelief, but it also shows you the mindset of scared and desperate humans that are under distress. A cult mindset, of those that are easily influenced of finding a leader through chaos by all means necessary. The ending was a great result of all of this, sprinkled with a taste of impatience and losing hope. But that bbq chicken joke as a Black woman did leave me cracking up with the subtle pun, whether folks see it or not. 😩😂
And I mean, the whole revelations and creatures of hell talk is a lot more plausible when you're cornered by a bunch of otherworldly monsters
25:22 had me dead bc on god thats how l was feeling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another comment after watching - this movie is the Gut punch movie. It's actually on record by Stephen King saying he wishes he thought of the ending they did in the movie because the story ends differently. As you can also tell, Frank Darabont cast the walking dead with many of the actors here. This is one of my favorite horror movies because it gives you an overwhelming sense of horror, not only from the monsters outside, but the monsters within.
You were talking about how can people be so stupid...
A PERSON is a smart, thoughful, rational being.
PEOPLE however are animals dumb, scared, panicky and easily misled.
A smart person can easily influence a large group through fear and a sense of hope and purpose....
Men In Black
To me this is the definition of a perfect movie!!! And every great movie has a great ending.. and to me the meaning of great is.. surprised/shock and awe..
The scariest bit for me is the holy roller who plays into ppl's religious paranoia, cuz that shit real as hell. Combining religion and paranoia is probably the easiest and fastest way to make ppl turn on each other - I'd rather just go get ate by the monster lol
Yes exactly I agree with you on that bro damn.
Bruh I think this is one of your best and honest reactions. The way your feeling goes up and down.
12:22 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA bro you had me dying xD
I really have mixed feeling about this movie... but I know that the novel has a happier ending :D
Can't believe the b1tch that left her 8yo son and her baby alone survived lmao
Hi Mell🖐Just had to let you know this is one of the most honest and captivating movie reactions from anyone ever. You're never less than completely open and honest with your reactions but this was next level, my friend ☮❤
Slither 2006. You're welcome:)
I preferred the ambiguous ending of the novella ,I liked that there was a small glimmer of hope at the end of the book . Frank was going through a rough time when he directed this and went the nihilistic route.
But the ultimate message of Frank's ending is still to never give up hope.
19:06 🤣🤣 she probably grew up with Kane and Able
You took me out bro I felt that lmao
The ending always makes me sad as fuck bruh😭
This might be the most consistently scared we’ve seen you! Lol
Darabont doesn't miss.
The film show how fear changes everything. This wasn't about survival, right, wrong, or morality. It was a showcase of human nature when faced with hopelessness, as represented by each archetype character (denial, arrogance, superstitious, etc). How fear of the unknown, or the uncertain, can fundamentally change what we take for granted, including within ourselves. I appreciate the film taking this point towards its most bleak conclusion. Otherwise the whole build up would have been a waste, and it would have been another Hollywood ending. I think is also worth noting that this wasn't just for shock value. It lead the audience, who tend to identify with the main character, to experience that breaking point, and succumb to what have been the struggle all along.
Forget experiencing that, just watching that and getting to the end breaks you as evident by you starting to cry. I only ever saw the ending of this movie by accident and the depth of the end (depth may not be the best word) kind of just hurts. Its a fictional story but the injustice of the ending.... let me stop before I start crying , thankyou for the reaction sir
