I ALWAYS used to wish that the ending was different...like either have them wait JUST long enough to notice the military vehicles and obviously all be saved, or at least make it so that David was able to die as well while still having the shock factor of the military rescue vehicles only seconds away.
But honestly now at 31 years old, I honestly can't imagine this movie would have ever had the same type of impact without this very ending. I do believe he promised his child that he wouldn't let the creatures get him, and all 5 of them that made it to the car are such wonderful people...I mean while I hope to NEVER be in such a situation, I would likely feel better about giving my loved ones a quick mercy killing than watch them suffering HORRIBLY painful deaths from ANY of the creatures, of which David practically saw every possible way. You basically know your son is going to die a long, painful death if you don't give him a quick one....I mean the main thing I was anxious about for the roughly 10 seconds between the mercy killings and the military rescue parade was how painful his death would be. And I just remember that ending hitting me like a ton of bricks when I first watched it...just kept wondering how he could possibly continue living out his life...or more honestly, how long he would be able to make it.
Any other ending would just make this a typical Lovecraft-like monster horror/survival film. But this ending just sticks with you. I also find the part of the ending where we see the lady ride by on the truck - the one who left the store when the mist first came because her kids were home alone - had managed to survive, to be significant in a way I never used to think about before. It indicates that not only did he lose his son by trying to save him from pain, but that he also COULD have possibly been able to save the rest of his family if he went with her. That may or may not be what the intended message was by her intense stares at the end, but that's how I have seen it. Adds insult to injury.

I completely agree with you, I was always desperate for them to hold on a few more minutes, it's always going to be a what if moment, I can't imagine what he is going through after it all ended, no family, especially his son, it was so well done this movie but incredibly heartbreaking at the end, I think it was very clever to not have a simple survival ending it just adds to the emotions.
It was a very clever movie x

I hope these "as we go" helps
1. In context it is similar to what King did with The Stand except in this case it's monsters and not a virus.
2. Jeffery DeMunn is known as a favorite of director Frank Darabont, who has cast him in all four of his films: "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994), "The Green Mile" (1999), and "The Mist" (2007). All King adaptations. He was also in what King himself says is the best adaptation of his work. "Storm of the Century".
3. William Sadler also was in Shawshank and The Green Mile.
4. Frances Sternhagen was in "Misery" by King.
5. Marcia Gay Harden kills it.
6.The big guy that goes out with the rope around his waist "brass balls" was going to be King doing that role himself, but Darabont shot him down.
7. This is not how the book ends. Darabont wanted this ending. King later said that as horrific that it is he likes it better. What makes this ending more devastating is he has to live with it the rest of his life 🥵
8. The picture of the cowboy IS an Easter egg from King's "Dark Tower series
9. Stephen King. You're welcome.
Give "Storm of the Century" a shot. King liked it so much that his book is actually an adaptation of the screen play. It's a different kind of scary King. You'll love it.
