I really like this movie. I never saw that ending coming which is rare. I was so sad for the character to suffer that fate after surviving a living nightmare. But I was so impressed with the writing, not the typical happily ever after ending which is a nice break from the norm. It was well done.
@Tim_the_Enchanter People are just to sensitive they have it in their heads that every movie ending is sopossed to be happy and sunshine and all that while i do like those endings i like endings like these better.
I always thought it was kind of dumb how fast they rushed to shooting themselves...... at least wait until you see all the monsters are swarming your car and theres ZERO chance to escape...
All sorts of armchair theorizing come into play here. Rather than drive aimlessly around they should have tried getting to the police station with its weapons and cell blocks monsters couldn't get into. Or robbing a gun store. Or going to the military base if possible against the flow of monsters, etc.
This is 1 of the few horror films where the crazy/religious person was kind of right; after he shot his son The Mist went away & the military arrived, almost as if the monsters were waiting for a child sacrifice all along.
@@anthonyrodriguez9365 I think the idea was that the blood of the child had to be shed in a form of ritual slaughter by a human leader, not just be another casualty of war
I’m not gonna believe anything that comes from a fanatic who demand human sacrifice mouth, no matter who desperate I am and I’m not gonna believe that one child can end the terror of the fog, it’s just the bad decisions of our protagonist that’s it.
I remember when I first watched this scene vividly. I was sitting with my laptop, watching some random movie I found interesting. Up to this point it had been just another horror/survival movie. But then David actually kills everyone else in his party, including his son, which was a shock in itself. And then the mist cleared... I was left entirely numb afterwards. This ending is just that harsh...
I remember seeing this movie and that ending I was like yeah i get they wanted it to be dark but damn could of just waited a bit and the happy ending for them would of been there. The twist in the end was fd up. I m sure the marines there has a extra bullet for him tho.
It's amazing that Frank Darabont was able to do something like The Shawshank Redemption, a film all about the importance of hope, and then he does a film like this, a film about the loss of hope. I really hope he returns to filmmaking. Shawshank, Green Mile and The Mist were all amazing movies.
Well maybe get manslaughter sinc ehe didnt want to kill them as it was a mercy kill also if anytjing he might be diagnost with insanity judging by how he screams at the end
@@pain4perks436 I did, actually - sadly, that fell flat as well. Tried to lamely borrow from the stellar success of Shawshank. But it had nothing to say; and did nothing of any note. It just "existed." Its "depression-era prison in Maine" setting, for its "Shawshank prison characters" drama were the only thing that even made it an attempt at a story. The supernatural element and vomited-florescent graphics meant less than nothing. Stephen King's DRAMA writing was always actually his best talent. Shawshank stood and will always stand our test of time.
Army still has flamethrowers. They still had them in ‘Nam too. The ones they have now are used for clearing “vegetation” just a lot of that vegetation in this case moves.
moral of the story kids, if you ever are gonna end your family's suffering make sure you give it 5 minutes and step outside to see if the army is coming first
I love the horrible ending for him and his family, kinda reminds me of the dark and depressing endings of movies that I’ve experienced growing up in the black community.
Some people say this is about good old never-lose-hope repatory but I think this is rather a story about how the greatest hope breaks, considering all dedication and endurance against mysterious threats and massive madness he has gone through. Or maybe the director just wanted to troll him and all of the audiences
I just watched this on AMC and it went to commercial right before the part where he shot them, so right when it came back from commercial it was the part with the gunshots. Horrible decision, because if you changed the channel or left the room during the commercial break you might not have made it back in time to see the most important part of the scene.
I love this ending because of how much I hate it. Stories almost always serve some point. That point might be to just make you feel good and soothe your desires in some way. It might be to teach a lesson. The story may be to convey the feelings of the author. The story may be to just get you to think about something and whatever conclusion you reach, whatever! It might be some kind of pacifier for the masses with no real life or soul in it. I don't really know what the intention here was. What I got out of it though was some kind of inversion of an inversion that lands you not where you began but somewhere alien. The improbable possibility of this ending is absurd. His horrifying bad luck feels like one a in a million. Billion? Trillion? It's monumental and insane how horrific this outcome is. It does happen though doesn't it? Sometimes life is just so outrageously, insanely, intensely, BULLSHIT. The ending gets a lot of shit because of that. People feel that it's BS. That's fair. But what if this or something similar did happen to you? How cheated by reality itself must you feel? How betrayed by everything? By a god? By chance? By just a few moments in time? By just a better sense of hearing that would have stayed your hand from pulling the trigger because, "what's that noise?" Every moment of life is on a knifes edge. What happens next for this man? Does his story continue or does it end the moment he finds a way to unpack his brain from his skull? I love this ending. I saw it in theaters and I'll never forget it because I chose to take it at face value and I think you should too. How would YOU actually feel in this situation? I can't imagine anything other than madness.
For one, the place they were indeed hunkering down had been overtaken by desperate zealots led by a religious nutjob damnding sacrifices. Second, every inkling they had of hope had been squashed. From the army themselves saying they don't know wtf to do, to seeing everything taken over by the monsters. There wasn't anywhere left for them to run as even the pharmacy next door was compromised. Riding it out until the fuel tank was empty was the best option they had. That's what makes the ending so powerful. It was a hopeless situation that was remedied at the worst possible moment.

In the original ending of the novella, David drives into an uncertain future alongside with his son, Amanda, and Mrs. Reppler.
"The Mist"(2007) is an excellent mystery horror movie! The ending scene of the movie was creepy and very unpredictable!
I always thought it was kind of dumb how fast they rushed to shooting themselves...... at least wait until you see all the monsters are swarming your car and theres ZERO chance to escape...

Prob the darkest ending ever. Shooting your own kid and wife 1 min before everyone still alive gets saved. Damn
She was not his wife. His wife was killed by spiders.
Yea
The last movie directed by Frank Darabont
But now he's doing tv series
How to surpass Steven King in horror
King said he prefers the movie ending.
I saw Andrea, Dale, and Carol
Never, ever, give up. They could've at least waited for a creature to attack them before deleting themselves.
if only the military convoy showed up little sooner!
There is a theory that someone has to sacrifice his kid or loved one so the mist would go away.
Or for his life to survive
It would have showed up way sooner, if they hadn't been driving away from it all the time
I remember when I first watched this scene vividly. I was sitting with my laptop, watching some random movie I found interesting. Up to this point it had been just another horror/survival movie.

Why didn't they just wait for the army to come rescue them? Hunker down dudes!
Usually in these apocalyptic films the military isn’t this good at their jobs, and so there was no faith in the military to do anything
There's no indication whatsoever the military is doing this at all, let alone successfully
For one, the place they were indeed hunkering down had been overtaken by desperate zealots led by a religious nutjob damnding sacrifices.
Second, every inkling they had of hope had been squashed. From the army themselves saying they don't know wtf to do, to seeing everything taken over by the monsters.

That's what makes the ending so powerful. It was a hopeless situation that was remedied at the worst possible moment.
They never knew the military was coming, they most likely would have wanted a quick death because they didn't want to be torn apart. 💀
Because the religious are uncontrolable in the market
