"Something wrong with Stephen King". He actually did not think up of this ending and was an aspect of the movie adaptation and he actually loved the change.
@@kuhpunktcontroversial at the time ppl didn’t like it bc of the ending mostly cause it was different from the book but i think it’s bc they die except for the dad and the way they all could’ve lived
whats interesting is that the movie is based on the book and the ending to the book there's at least hope. while still not a happy ending, the book finishes with them all inside an abandoned apartment sleeping scared as they hear all the creatures outside. at least then you could only imagine if they do or don survive and this movie ending surprised the original author, and actually liked this ending better
They actually cast Melissa McBride as Carol because of her part in The Mist. Before this, she was actually a casting director who only appeared in small roles here and there. But because of her performance in this, they thought she'd be perfect for Carol specifically because of the Sofia storyline.
Fun fact: The main character in this movie was going to be the original Rick Grimes. But his schedule conflicted at the time so they chose Andrew Lincoln. Frank Darabont likes to work with the same group of actors on all his projects.
@moviescatsmargs Why...? He would have been great. H is a very versatile actor. Happy he didn't though as he would have been locked up for so many years and we wouldn't have gotten him in The expanse.
@XSpiegel it's less about Jane and more about Lincoln. There's something about Lincoln's eyes, he looks dangerous but also detached. Like he's broken and can't feel emotion anymore, which works for the character because Rick is constantly battling giving into his worst intentions. With Jane, I can see all of his emotions on his face. He's not really a subtle actor so big performances, like in The Mist, work for him.
Pat being so mad at the people who talked a big game as if he wouldn’t be one of the first to get eaten because he thinks he can fight the monsters off with his bare fists 🤣
Fun fact: In Stephen Kings IT, Pennywise came from another dimension called the Macroverse, thousands of years ago. The creatures in the Mist also came from another dimension after the government opened a portal during the Arrowhead project. There’s a very good chance that that dimension was the Macroverse considering the fact that most, if not all, of Stephen Kings books are connected. That would mean these monsters and IT are from the same place. Very interesting.
Yeh, thought I read somewhere that it's connected to world of "The Dark Tower" too. I forget the book, one about the people digging up an alien spaceship and the ghosts of the dead aliens possessing them, but all his King's stories seem to take place in Maine and in one chapter a characters had visions of Pennywise, a vampire from Salem's Lot, Randall Flagg and other monsters/characters from his other horror books.
I saw this for the first time at work, years back when I worked over nights. I actually stood up and said out loud "SHUT THE F*CK UP", when that tank came rolling out of the mist, old sad ass song blaring back on that we'd been hearing. That man will never be right, he's gone, bro. If the eldritch terrors he witnessed didn't crack him up already, then the knowledge of killing his son and fellow survivors just minutes away from rescue, will surely have him in a padded cell the rest of his days. You don't transition back to doing art commissions for studios after that
That’s literally not the message. As per the genre, nature doesn’t care what’s cruel or fair. You act like they didn’t spend days watching people get ripped apart or worse, with no end in sight.
It seems you didn't quite find out so fun fact; the movie's ending was in fact NOT written by Stephen King, as the book had a totally different ending and Stephen King himself very famously commented after watching the movie's ending that he WISHES he'd come up with it.
Pat being the first one to fall for the cult is both hilarious and expected. He fell for the cult before the people in the movie -- and they're SCRIPTED to do it. 🤣🤣🤣
Pat seems to just be the big dumb lovable guy of the Normies bunch but I totally think he would be with crazy church chick in that situation. Chris would have been the Thomas Jane character and figured some other shit out until the Army came.
You have to hand it to the woman who was determined to get back to her kids. She had some iron balls, and she actually made it to her kids as well. Then again, that’s Carol from “The Walking Dead,” so those creatures clearly knew better than to try that shit with her.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and lo and behold, the next day, when it was time to go to the bus stop, it was really foggy outside. I was f*cking terrified, but my momma said I still had to go to school.
thats the thing about murica i wont get you cen mentaly wreck kids with movies way above their Age Rating...you can buy them fucking Shotguns in Pink at wallmart but fucking tits or swearing and Muricans losing it... no offense but i understand why people say America is a Country looking like a First World Country outside but inside its rotten 3rd world shit.
Something I really enjoy about this movie is that it’s like “Watch people turn against each other!” But really, it’s like, dog, it’s been 48 hours, can we not have a total break down of morals just yet? We’re already at child sacrifice? This shit literally just started. We don’t even know each others names yet enough to hate one another and we’re already forming sides and killing one another. Lol
People are saying the original ending was not as bleak, but it literally ends with the world being completely overrun with the Mist and humanity all dying, with an implication that the father was just happy to eventually die with his son.
40:19 Thomas Jane nailed that absolute incomprehensible demoralization pained screams of woe. When I was deep in my alcoholism & wanted to die I’ve scream cried just like that. ^don’t worry y’all I’m sober & no longer depressed or suicidal.
I’m so glad to hear you’re doing better. So sorry you were going through that though. And yes, his scream was so real. I’ve always felt chills when I heard it. That scene haunts me as it should.
Another thing I find interesting about this movie when I zoom my perspective out to a macro level is, you know how in super hero shows like Spiderman there are many situations where they accidentally open portals to other dimensions, even the movie Pacific Rim, and although things look bleak sometimes we usually see things from the perspective of the powerful hero of the movie. However the Mist, this movie shows you how normal people would experience the result of a portal opening up and allowing entities from it's dimension to invade us and we have nobody here with super powers.
The easter egg of the dark tower at the beginning is so fun to fans As you see, The Dark Tower is the physical represention of Gan, who is basically God in King's universe, and it's on charge of maintaining the equilibrium of all the worlds and universes Out of the limits of the Tower there's the Todash Darkness, where the chaos reigns, and a lot of demonic beings live. The main villain of the saga, the Crimson King, tries to destroy the beams of the tower to destroy all universes, causing a lot of these portals full of monsters to open in the normal world. Pennywise from It also comes from the Todash, The Outsider from The Outsider, Tak from Desperation, as well as a lot of King villains like Barrow from Salem's Lot.
This won because everyone who has been traumatized by this movie wants everyone else to be traumatized by this movie, lol. A tree that size falling in a storm (that wasn't a hurricane/tornado or they'd have mentioned it), means that the roots were damaged. Either through something they did with construction on the property, or more likely a pest or illness.
A lot of people dont know but it was originally supposed to be in black and white which helps the effects look MUCH BETTER as well as creepier. The entire movie feels different when you watch it in that version which I think you can find online or DVD. I recommend it
Idc what anybody says you’re not waiting to be eaten alive when you have a gun sitting next to you. The ending was the most rational and logical thing to do. There has been no sign of help for days and your car died in the middle of a the mist you have no clue how far the mist has gotten and you’re hearing creatures outside. You’re not waiting. Trust me
I’m so glad this movie has gained popularity over time. Saw it in theaters & loved it for what it was, a great B movie. It was so rare to find anyone who had mostly positive things about this movie for a long time.
Fun fact: The ending of the novel is just the characters driving with the main character noting he has 4 bullets left. Also, I'm just curious, but have any of you not seen Jaws cause that is a must watch?
One thing I love about this movie is how incongruous the creatures are with respect to each other. They don't feel like some kind of ecosystem, they feel like they're from an entirely irrational place. Some kind of unnatural place that doesn't heed the laws of nature.
i feel like every time pat is on a reaction, hes consistently and wildly wrong about everything UNTIL he drops one clairvoyant-level prediction that no one believes
I. love.. this ending... and I'll explain why. 1)the original books ending: leave 'em guessing, just a remark that there are 4 bullets the audience contemplates the awful repercussions; it's good narratively. the cult didn't know, the protagonists don't know; and you don't know either 2) you could have the tanks pull up right as they run out of gas after the "4 bullets" conversation; end it on a hopeful note, okay our protagonists chose wisely- never give up. It's a 'feels good man' the level-headed prevail type of story. not a rememberable story narratively, but it's a good lesson 3) you could have a creature from the Mist eat him afterwords: have an experience of real stunning apathetic dread of that feeling beyond hopelessness- respectable ending, that's a strong narrative and a bold thing to have for an audience 'no lesson- life happens then you die kid' But This to have this horrifying remarkable lesson that hopelessness can be wrong; and that this in itself could be worse that hopelessness can have absolute cost in the face of hope unseen. this ending is just so much more powerful than the first 2 combined it leaves you contemplative like ending 1 it stands to toe to toe lesson with 2 and it utterly OVERWHELMS 3 in efficacy. this ending was literally stunning the 1st time I saw it, just awe-inspiring dread, elevates this story to a masterwork of horror. I am 100% in agreement with Stephen King this ending trumps all the others, this was the STRONGEST ending to the story possible and i respect the shit out of those that wrote this.
I remember crying when I first saw this film. I laughed because I knew you all would be floored by the ending. I think you guys should react to "Abigail". I think it would be really entertaining.
54:24 he didn’t want to wait because his son was sleeping & he wanted his son to just never wake up / not experience fear. Priority A: monsters don’t get him. Priority B: kid doesn’t suffer/know he’s about to die
Few things about the story/movie: - Carmody was right. Everything she said was true. "We want the boy!" They kill the boy, the mist clears. She was the villain, sure, but she was also 100 percent accurate with everything she said. - The army was driving the same direction the protagonists were. This means they already came from the Supermarket and most likely everyone within was rescued. - The movie was originally supposed to be in black and white. This would make the CGI less punishing and obvious.
I’m obsessed with the two people trying the beverage at the beginning! Now I’m wondering what they were drinking because they looked like they loved it.😂
This was not Kings ending in the book. Frank Darabont was the screenwriter and he changed the ending to this. Also he developed and executive produced The Walking Dead that is why you recognized some cast members from this movie were also in the walking dead. Do some research!
You guys should watch The Mist Tv series. That would be fun, its only one season so it would go by pretty quick. Also this ending destroyed me as a kid, trauma. Also the line "Are you being Willfully Dense?" Has been a part of my normal speech since I was a kid.
@dwnkaomwn3953 Why not both? But obviously, john Carpenters one since it came out the same year, Kings book debuted. I do like the 2005 version aswell.
22:29 it's funny because, just like with most bugs, if you stay still and let it go on it's way, it won't attack you.. as opposed to screaming, flailing your hands at it, etc.. lol nothing really to do with God, just good pattern recognition skills and common sense passionately spun into religious fact
This is my favorite horror movie. The ending is so insane, and I just always enjoyed the classic B movie vibe. By the way, Frank Darabont also released a black and white version, which I think also fits the vibe pretty well. That's worth a watch if anyone can find it imo.
When the movie was at cinemas as premiere movie and no one know the ending people left the auditorium completely silent. Most of them was broken for many next hours or days.
The Dark Tower reference right at the top is one of my favorite in any Stephen King movie. Especially if you know the story of the Dark Tower, you know exactly why what's happening in this movie is happening. They opened a hole into the Todash darkness and that's where the monsters pour out from.
You need to watch this movie back to back with “Maximum Overdrive,” which works as an emotional pallet cleanser after “The Mist” and enables you to end things on a light note while sticking with the Stephen King theme.
The picture that Drayton is working on - the cowboy holding a rose in front of a dark tower - made me throw out my neck in excitement. A Frank Darabont-directed series based on King's DARK TOWER books would be the best series ever. Literally ever.
"Something wrong with Stephen King". He actually did not think up of this ending and was an aspect of the movie adaptation and he actually loved the change.
Funny thing, he loved this change where the kid dies, but hated the change in Cujo where the kid lives. Stephen King might just hate children lol.
He wrote the kiddy kiddy gang bang at the end of IT, so the quote still applies
I personally prefer the King ending (for once) but this one works better for the movie.
Which makes the statement stand: Something wrong with Stephen King.
True. Also Something is wrong with Stephen King
The dichotomy of Pat:
40:22 "Yeah, makes sense."
41:22 "He couldn't wait 5 minutes?!?"
it makes sense when monsters start knocking on the window
The ending is one of the most fucked up and most controversial endings in horror film history.
How is it controversial? And it's a bit dark, but the most effed up?
@@kuhpunktcontroversial at the time ppl didn’t like it bc of the ending mostly cause it was different from the book but i think it’s bc they die except for the dad and the way they all could’ve lived

The ending isn't even by Stephen King. Frank Darabont came up with it. In the books, everything is left up in the air.
To this day, there hasn't been an ending to a movie that has left me more shocked, devastated, and just in utter disbelief.
I hope to god there never will be

As you see, The Dark Tower is the physical represention of Gan, who is basically God in King's universe, and it's on charge of maintaining the equilibrium of all the worlds and universes

this ending...
and I'll explain why.
1)the original books ending: leave 'em guessing, just a remark that there are 4 bullets
the audience contemplates the awful repercussions; it's good narratively. the cult didn't know, the protagonists don't know; and you don't know either
2) you could have the tanks pull up right as they run out of gas after the "4 bullets" conversation;
end it on a hopeful note, okay our protagonists chose wisely- never give up. It's a 'feels good man' the level-headed prevail type of story.
not a rememberable story narratively, but it's a good lesson
3) you could have a creature from the Mist eat him afterwords:
have an experience of real stunning apathetic dread of that feeling beyond hopelessness-
respectable ending, that's a strong narrative and a bold thing to have for an audience 'no lesson- life happens then you die kid'
But This
to have this horrifying remarkable lesson
that hopelessness can be wrong; and that this in itself could be worse
that hopelessness can have absolute cost in the face of hope unseen.
this ending is just so much more powerful than the first 2 combined
it leaves you contemplative like ending 1
it stands to toe to toe lesson with 2
and it utterly OVERWHELMS 3 in efficacy.
this ending was literally stunning the 1st time I saw it, just awe-inspiring dread, elevates this story to a masterwork of horror.
I am 100% in agreement with Stephen King this ending trumps all the others, this was the STRONGEST ending to the story possible and i respect the shit out of those that wrote this.
Stephen King's ending just has them driving into the mist. King said he hated the movie ending, cos he wish he'd written it :)

Priority A: monsters don’t get him.
Priority B: kid doesn’t suffer/know he’s about to die
It's kidda surprise when they've not watched this movie yet. The ending has been stucking in my mind for a very long time.
23:08 "Don't shoot the kid!" .... 😬
21:42 Is a great mirror moment with Navi and Spidey throwing their heads back as Pat is gobsmacked in the middle.
Few things about the story/movie:
- Carmody was right. Everything she said was true. "We want the boy!" They kill the boy, the mist clears. She was the villain, sure, but she was also 100 percent accurate with everything she said.
- The army was driving the same direction the protagonists were. This means they already came from the Supermarket and most likely everyone within was rescued.
- The movie was originally supposed to be in black and white. This would make the CGI less punishing and obvious.
I’m obsessed with the two people trying the beverage at the beginning! Now I’m wondering what they were drinking because they looked like they loved it.😂
This was not Kings ending in the book. Frank Darabont was the screenwriter and he changed the ending to this. Also he developed and executive produced The Walking Dead that is why you recognized some cast members from this movie were also in the walking dead. Do some research!
David kept his promise to his son - he didn't let the "monsters" get him.
Pat: Pffft - there is nothing scary about a mist. Also Pat: I'M GOING TO CHURCH!!
This movie is a masterclass of tension building, and escalating dread. The ending stays with you for a while. Not many movies do that.
You guys should watch The Mist Tv series. That would be fun, its only one season so it would go by pretty quick. Also this ending destroyed me as a kid, trauma.
Also the line "Are you being Willfully Dense?" Has been a part of my normal speech since I was a kid.
"You better tell her your name's Christina."
The whole chat that starts at 33:00 had me in tears.
Yall should watch "The Fog" 👀👀👀
Which one?
@dwnkaomwn3953 Why not both?
But obviously, john Carpenters one since it came out the same year, Kings book debuted.
I do like the 2005 version aswell.
@@dwnkaomwn3953 The one that's actually worth watching.
The end song is called the host of seraphim by dead can dance.
Pat ruins every emotional moment in a reaction.
I can’t stand listening to his constant moronic gibberish. Incredibly obnoxious. Nothing of value would be lost if he never appeared again.
Yep, in Kings original ending everyone in the car survived. The director changed the ending. And King liked this ending better.
We ABSOLUTELY need pat and rana reacting to the casper movies 😂. maybe even marketta and spidey w/ them.
13:49 "Hey God don't talk like that!" 😂 So be great, and I agree
I would have been in the hospital or dead if this was a drinking game everytime Pat said "Mist"😂😂😂
Thank God for Chris and spidey being in this. The evil laughter during the spider scene was perfect.
I laughed so hard when I saw this ending. Especaily when he starts screaming and the soldiers look confused lol
Congrats Rana for the wedding 🎉🎉
22:29 it's funny because, just like with most bugs, if you stay still and let it go on it's way, it won't attack you.. as opposed to screaming, flailing your hands at it, etc.. lol nothing really to do with God, just good pattern recognition skills and common sense passionately spun into religious fact
omg Rana immediately turns into a psychopath the second there's a hint of a crisis
This is my favorite horror movie. The ending is so insane, and I just always enjoyed the classic B movie vibe. By the way, Frank Darabont also released a black and white version, which I think also fits the vibe pretty well. That's worth a watch if anyone can find it imo.
When the movie was at cinemas as premiere movie and no one know the ending people left the auditorium completely silent. Most of them was broken for many next hours or days.
There is the theory that the mist only lifted because David shot his son and thus doing the sacrifice that was needed
The Dark Tower reference right at the top is one of my favorite in any Stephen King movie. Especially if you know the story of the Dark Tower, you know exactly why what's happening in this movie is happening. They opened a hole into the Todash darkness and that's where the monsters pour out from.
You need to watch this movie back to back with “Maximum Overdrive,” which works as an emotional pallet cleanser after “The Mist” and enables you to end things on a light note while sticking with the Stephen King theme.
I know it was a sad moment but I couldn’t stop laughing at Chris smiling at the reveal at the end.
The picture that Drayton is working on - the cowboy holding a rose in front of a dark tower - made me throw out my neck in excitement. A Frank Darabont-directed series based on King's DARK TOWER books would be the best series ever.
Literally ever.
Mrs. Carmody said they needed the kid for a sacrifice and The mist went away after the kid died...
