King is anti-Christian so he usually has a character that he uses to make fun of their beliefs. He uses stereotypes and biases to make these characters unlikable. You’ll also find that they are usually the villain or someone to laugh at. It’s predictable in his works and his hate for a group of people for their religion makes his books weak.
Who would have tough that a ending where Humanity is saved Could be so tragic.
And i Love how this movie portrays hope.
The first Paranormal Activity film, Sinister, Insidious, The Conjuring Pt 2, and The Woman in Black.
The Ritual is on Netflix! It’s a super underrated monster horror film that I highly recommend. It has one of the most unique and terrifying monster designs I’ve seen in a long time in film. Legit looks like it stepped outta Bloodborne.
Oh, man. I doubt everyone will vote for this one, but you really should watch "The Invitation". I'm a big horror movie fan, and even for me, that movie stands apart. It's so good.
Let’s be real! We’re all here to see their reaction to the ending
Ending is over rated.
@@wellthismachinekills3809 lol, I know plenty of parents who would smack you.
That ending is a sucker punch, I sat there in stunned disbelief in theater the first time I saw it
@@Ashwgun My parents still do.
Best 2020 memes lol 😂
Carol is a badass. She survived the Mist and then survived ten years of a zombie apocalypse.
I have seen this film countless times so I should know every actor in it. Which I did for every actor even the more minor ones like Sam Witwer who plays one of the soldiers and isn't really well known for his live action acting more voice work as he was Maul in Star Wars Clone Wars and Rebels. But for some reason I completely forgot the actor that plays Holt in Brooklyn 99 is in this film.
@@glasius22 That movie so awful, she probably wanted to die.
Don't forget Andrea and Dale was there too..
and her hair never grew a bit. is she immortal?
Not in the comics, she's not. She dies very early and it's Andrea who is the real badass.
Sometimes the scariest thing about Stephen king stories is not the supernatural but how hideous human beings can be x
People roll their eyes when I say Stephen King is our modern Shakespeare. Not for the poetic writing, per se. But for how he's able to create characters we all know very well. And yes, we humans are the most frightening creatures in his stories. This guy is incredible. Too bad his films don't always live up to the writings.
Same point on The Walking Dead.
@@Codyiscool28 It Can be. But, I've found it's no more dangerous as other institutions. Take politics and academia, for example.
I love the scene in the back room when they are talking about that, something you never really see characters admit to, lol.
@@LA_HA Anything that gives people very strong polarizing beliefs can be dangerous, pretty much.
If you haven't noticed half the cast went onto The Walking Dead.
Not just the cast - Frank Darabont was an Executive Producer (until Season 3), and Greg Nicotero was FX Supervisor.
@@davidscottking
Actually Darabont CREATED the Walking Dead TV show and directed the entire first season (only 6 episodes, but still).
That's why Season one always feels different from the rest of the seasons and has a bit of a cinematic feel to it.
Fun Fact :
Thomas Jane was actually Frank Darabont's first choice to play Rick Grimes in the Walking Dead (Darabont adapted Kirkman's comics and created the TV show and directed all of Season 1's episodes), but scheduling issues with Jane's other movie projects forced him to back out and they went with Andrew Lincoln instead.
@@Cbricklyne really hope Lincoln comes back in s11
Laurie Holden get fked over big time in TWD. Wish Andrea was still around. I love her as an actress.
"kids are dead weight" - Tom, parent of the year 😛
😅😅😅
"This kid is a little bit annoying" and all I'm thinking is "Glad they haven't seen The Babadook yet"
oh my god kids in horror movies are either a burden or the most hated beings in the cosmos
Absolutely. The Babadook would be close to perfect if it wasn't for that kid.
I wanted that kid to disappear so badly
The babadook is super overrated and actually quite terrible. Don't see how many people hype that movie.
The babadook was so good that kid though....God that kid.
Its refreshing to see Carol's kids surviving, at least this one time.
😂😂 terrible mother she turned out to be haha
The most shocking and tragic end to a horror film imo.
It's contrived and makes no sense.
What about the original Night of the Living Dead?
I guess you haven’t seen A Serbian Film.
@@brittyn To be fair, that pretty much describes the film as a whole. The ending was pretty much exactly what you’d expect by that point. XD
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy Be quiet.
Actually the ending in the movie is different from the book, and King actually said the movie did it better.
He said it was bleaker than anything he ever thought of.
Man, that's both high praise and a very good reason to have a talk with a therapist....
He's wrong. It's contrived and makes no sense.
King is known for not being to end his stories very well.
How does it end in the book?
@@lizmagu3189 They drive away into points unknown, no closure.
This movie has one of the happiest endings in cinema history
Humanity was saved,so that is a Kinda good ending.
Hell yeah.
He didn't want custody for this kid anyway.
All he had to do, was open a portal to a hellish dimension.
Totally worth it - Bachelor life all the way baby^^
Your full on understanding of the ending really changes when you have a kid.
It changes from 'man that sucks' to '.... ... ...... ... It's okay man, there's a tree over there; just bend over and run into it head first'
Stephen King was impressed with it (was different in the short story), saying it was bleaker than anythin he ever came up with.
Btw, those old folks suddenly sucked after being such good characters all movie. Letting him continue after that: fuck em.
At least don't let him take that burden and either be the one pulling the trigger or walk out.
@@arsenelupin9697 oof
Tom: Nobody is that gullible to believe someone preaching like that.
Me: *sweats in American*
Mrs. Carmody got what she deserved.
Ha! Too true. I want to laugh and cry at that.
@@themoviedealers I saw this movie when it came out in theaters, there was literal clapping and cheering when it happened.
sadly a scary amount of people get sucked right into that type of preaching
Honestly! 🤣🤣😅 Far too familiar with that here
"A PAIR OF LEGS CAME BACK SHAUN. A PAIR OF LEGS."
I screamed “NO” at the television when I got to the ending. I think it’s one of the only movies I’ve done that at.
I remember someone busting out laughing in the theater when it happened. lol.
I was pissed off. It makes no sense for them to fight to survive so hard, then give up for no reason. The contrivance of the military showing up just in time to hammer you over the head with how tragic it's supposed to be just made it even more insulting.
And I HATED the ending too. It's not how King ended the story. They actually drive on through the "mist" never knowing what's next. King's style is to leave the reader hanging sometimes... Which to me is better. Little bit of a mind fuck. But Hollywood needs an ending, and this one sucked.
@@bethannprather1462 is better than the end of the book
It is so cheap and bad. Too edgy it kinda ruins the whole misterious atmosphere
In the book the giant monster is actually bigger. They can't see what the legs are connected to, but the tentacles are visible under the clouds, but not the stomach.
First audio book I ever listened to - the sound effects they put in of a walking skyscraper was terrifying
Anyone else first read that as testicles? I was like WHAT?!!! . . . ok just weird me.
@@moshabraf OMG lmao
@@TodLeben 🤣🤣🤣 sorry my man. ✌️
@@moshabraf That was scarier than the movie itself 🤣
“A pair of legs came back Shaun, a pair of legs” - best line ever. This needs to be a meme

Re, your question: I'd rather be the adult looking after the child, because being forced into the role of guardian to someone who is afraid forces you to become proactive and frees you from some of the fear you would succumb to if you were being looked after by someone stronger than yourself.
Real talk, the ending of this movie actually made me mildly depressed for a few days, I was very invested in the characters. I hated it for that, but respect it too for having that power.
Same and very well said sir
The ending was genius.
I hated the ending when I saw it in theaters, and still do to this day. In the short story, it ends with ambiguous hope that the characters may end up finding their way out of the mist. By comparison, the movie ending just felt nihilistic and as if it went in the complete opposite direction of the short story, which felt like a tale of the endurance of the human will. I think it's honestly the reason this movie will never truly get the recognition that it probably does deserve. There's a division over the ending, and I sadly rest on the obnoxious side of 'the book was better'.
I thought it was stupid
@@JessLoveyy Yeah I got what they were going for but the execution seemed so abrupt and ridiculous.
"Nobody's that gullible!"
Mate, have you seen what's going on in the world?
You've never come here to America I'm thinking.
I was just thinking...come to America! You'll see hoards of these type of people! Eeeek!
@@Ripley_Ellen Where?
Where have you ever seen someone acting like that in real life?
And Twitter doesn't count, nor does a mental asylum - though they're basically the same thing anyway.
@ksfhhnfan Again: We're not talking about insane people that basically live on the street.
The guy above me implied that this basically happens on an everyday basis and is socially excepted amongst religious folks - not that these are only fringe nutcases.
@@arsenelupin9697 anti-vaxxers? Flat earthers? Vegans? Trump?
I LOVE the ending and applaud the film for having the guts to go that far. I remembered watching this and just sat in shock for a WHILE. It's just so grim and haunting.
The ending is so harrowing. Stephen King said he wished he'd written the same ending. He loved it.
Mob mentality is terrifying! Main reason this film is my favorite horror of all time.
Just look at Twitter... You'll get another example of Mob Mentality...
@@jasperreyes5174 lollllllllllllllll
I found that even scarier than the monsters and the fact everyone started to turn on each other within a few days is crazy.
The director wanted more of a conclusive ending, rather than the ambiguous one presented in the Stephen King novel. It was Frank Darabont's idea, and Stephen King actually said that he thought it was a great idea lol. I know people may not personally like the dark and depressing ending, but to me that makes it stand out as one of the most shocking endings to ANY film ever.
I liked it. King usually has a problem with endings, well at least with the endings of the tv versions of The stand and IT.
Actually King origionally hated the idea of a changed ending, he thought it would be shit. Then admitted he was wrong and said it was better than his when he saw it.
It's contrived, makes no sense, and was done for nothing other than shock value.
I just stuck my middle finger up at the screen after Frank Darabont gave me the middle finger with that ending scene
But the ending to the movie is even more ambiguous because it just raises even more fucking questions...at least the book was pretty consistent with its “the world is fucked” theme. The movie’s ending was just all over the damn place.
Frank Darabont was the best at adapting King's work from book to screen. Everyone else doesn't really seem to balance the varying tones and genres in King's source material to film/tv so they change major plot points, characters or overall themes which I know is common but I feel like when Darabont changed things it didn't diminish or take away from the source material and works very well in his films. Case in point: the ending to The Mist film vs the novella. Honorable mentions to Rob Reiner and Mike Flanagan cause they have done great work adapting King second to Darabont in my opinion.
Back when I first saw this on 07, my friends and I loved the movie but we hated the ending with a passion. But American audiences are conditioned to like happy endings. Now it retrospect I can see how much of a punch that ending packs, which was probably the point. Some people don't like to be gut punched just before walking out of a theater. Still a great horror movie though. Great reaction. Keep it up, fellas.
Exhibit B: How I Met Your Mother, Exhibit C: Game of Thrones.
I don't mind a good gut punch, just so long as it's good like Shutter Island. Not like that shitty B-movie zombeavers. Seriously don't watch it without a bottle of Tylenol close by. Just remembering that garbage is giving me a headache.
I've always said that the scariest thing to me personally in this movie is the religious nut lady. That's human evil to me more than anything. This is one of those films that I've seen twice and can't watch again, the emotional toll is a lot and I'm not easily shaken like that at all.
I agree. King also does it well in (original book) Under The Dome where you put humans in a pressure/horror situation that really breaks their normalcy and then watch the bad come out.
Most of the horror is in the heads of the people jacked up by the religious ramblings of the crazy church lady
She's a terrible character though^^
Crazy church person is a King trope at this point.
And he rarely does it well.
And yet.
You can watch the movie with the idea that she is proven right again and again. That's part of why the new ending is almost sickening.
In the short story she was just a bitchy nutcase. In this there's gonna be loads of people in that store thinking they were PROVEN right, which is somehow far more terrifying
@@ravenlunatic8 That's exactly what I was implying.
King has some sort of personal aversion to the church and christianity - which is fine.
But if you insert that into almost every single story, without giving those characters any depth whatsoever, it just comes off as laughable.
But many people legitimately think that religious folks are like that^^
Like I said dude, the ending is the most messed up part of the movie. Stephen King said in an interview that he actually enjoyed the ending to the movie, showing the dark side of humanity, from it's rise to its collapse in 48 hours.
But the ending still makes no sense.
I've read, and this could be just gossip, but during test screenings, some audiences laughed and giggled at scenes where Darabont was certain they would be terrified (which actually happened) the gossip part is that Darabont said.."We'll I'll show them, see if they laugh at this ending" ..and added on the morbid ending
@@44excalibur It makes sense? The creatures, however horrifying are just creatures. You can blow them up with guns and the US has a lot of guns.
@Meanie Panini In the book, they were smart enough to stop at a Howard Johnson's rest stop when their car was low on gas and take shelter inside, not just driving until they ran out of gas. The father killing his own son after spending the entire story keeping him safe was reprehensible, especially given the final scene in the book where he tells his son that there's hope after hearing a brief radio transmission from Hartford, Connecticut. And the Deus ex machina ending where the soldiers show up with flamethrowers as the mist simply receded with no explanation at all was just lazy writing.
@@defiante1 The creatures come from an inter-dimensional portal where the mist world originated from. Can guns and flamethrowers cause the mist to recede and an inter dimensional portal to just close by itself, along with all of those creatures? In the book, the characters were smart enough to stop at a Howard Johnson's when they were low on gas and take shelter inside, not just drive around until they ran out of gas, which is suicidal.
I just realised the irony that in the end David turned into Mrs. Carmody... he's so sure he knows what's best and decides to sacrifice everyone including his son.
Except that they all agreed and we're on board for it.
Even his son , in a way.
The drive , with the "Host of the Seraphim" playing is brilliant. And the scene after , in the car - the silence. They do so much with just silence and looks.
That ending is different from the book and Stephen King has said he wishes he thought of it
Lol
what happens in the real ending from the book?
@@alxdrksoul Apparently they just drive away and it ends there
@@inspectorjavert9868 thank you :) yeah I guess it's better in the movie xD
@@alxdrksoul They drive and drive, nearly out of fuel, with no end in sigth for thr mist
Ah Mrs Carmody the original Karen.😂 Great reaction as per usual 👍
Hahaha accurate! 🤣
New Stephen King novel coming soon! "The Mother of All Karens".
Tom’s reactions are just so pure and entertaining to watch! Made me laugh quite a bit!
The black and white version does so much to elevate the film. It’s a must-watch version.
This film works so much better in black and white and is Darabont’s preferred way to watch it.
I agree. I have yet to watch the colour version, just because I love the black and white version so.
It's so much better in B&W. It also helps hide some of the dodgy CGI as well.
Yep I liked the B&W version better
yes, and photographically it makes more sense as they focus more on texture.
Absolutely. B&W is the way to go.
I always expect the ending to cut to the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme.
haha, perfect!
Get working on that edit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would pay any amount of money for an episode of this in Curb. Larry: "I'm just saying... I'm wearing glasses so I don't see too good for one, then I I I got the weak knee. Tennis knee. So, you know... you might want someone else to go out and look, someone fit. Like Ted Danson here." Everyone: "LAAAAAAAARY!"
Hahaha. I can hear Susie yelling:"Larry, you fuck! WTF did you do?!!" Then cue the music 😛😆
One of the most underrated horror films from the 2000’s. Also, how can we not acknowledge Shawn’s lovely singing voice!
I loved how they portrayed the monsters as natural animals and how it just leaves the rest to the viewer's imagination of how horrific and different other worlds are. Like, imagine if mankind does have a window to look into different worlds..imagine what kind of horrific creatures we'll find.
We do its called the deep ocean & yeah fuck what's down there or any other non human world biome .
Came for the reaction to the ending, was not disappointed lol
"Most horrific film ever" but also "8.4" rofl
O-H
The movie isn't scary at all, and the ending is insulting.
His score was better than Shaun who said it's a great movie but gave it only 8.3 😂
@@joshmcirish352 I-O
I have always wanted to understand their scoring haha. It seems arbitrary sometimes.
Hilarious and horrifying - I forgot how good this movie was. You don’t have to wait an hour and a half to see the monsters, it just builds and builds, and there’s that huge twist at the end.
"Nobody's that gullible"
Half the United States: Hold my beer
Indeed. There's a serious problem here in the USA-United States of Arrogance!

@@VanceRatt yep.. probably more
Problem is knowing which half.
Perfect song for the ending. Lisa Gerrard's voice is the most hauntingly beautiful sound known to man. 🖤
Completely agree, I can’t imagine anything else for that ending. It’s not sad/melancholy but more sorrow/anguish and deep emotional pain, like a wailing of grief in the singing that fits the drop to your knees emotional devastation happening(it’s called “The Host of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance for anyone curious). Just utterly drenched and dripping in emotion, it really is hauntingly beautiful.
The singer Lisa Gerrard is also known for her excellent work with Hans Zimmer(that’s her distinctive voice singing on his soundtrack/score for the movie “Gladiator”). 🎵😭😌🤧🎶
Well the Walking Dead actors are all over the movie. We got Dale, Andrea and Carol all in the first minutes of the movie
Darabont got them on tWD cuz he likes working with them. And I believe Carol was a placeholder for auditions, working at the casting agency. Then Frank realised she eas actually kinda good at it... And at first she only did it as a favor to him cuz they couldn't find anyone suitable for the role.
Fun fact. Thomas Jane was Frank Darabont’s first choice to play Rick Grimes. I’m not 100 percent familiar how that fell through, no disrespect to Andrew Lincoln but in an alternative universe that would have been a great thing to see.
@@smittyvanbonjohnson
It fell through because Thomas Jane (who wanted to take the role) had scheduling issues and conflicts with a couple of movies he was doing at the time.
I miss Dale SO MUCH!!!
@@angellahoulbjerg4307 Me too. Even though I grew to like Carl a great deal, I've never forgiven him for Dale's end.
Tell me why Tom’s reactions made this movie more intense? Lol! It’s a pretty brutal movie.. especially that ending. My gosh.
Same reason you're more likely to laugh if someone near you laughs. Empathy is a powerful human trait.
Did you know this was originally supposed to be released in black and white but the studio refused the idea? They have this version as an extra in one of the later blu-ray releases i think, it makes the somewhat outdated CG look a shit ton better than in the coloured version imo. If you plan on rewatching this some day make sure to check out that one.
I’ve never forgotten that ending. Tragic.
A great film with an ending that sticks with you forever. Even King admitted the movies ending was better then his own. The creature at the end? Truly Lovecraftian. Oh and avoid the short run TV series. It's pure crap.
I watched a few epsiodes. It quickly went from 'different, might be okay' to 'wait, which episodes did I see allready?' to 'nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope'.
Can't even remember how far I managed to get.
I was so excited for the series. such possibilities! SO DISAPPOINTED with the result. 😡
Yep, It was unbelievably awful. Such a shame.
@@user-zh4vo1kw1z Absolutely. A total waste of something that could have been incredibly good given the source material.
@@Silver-rx1mh it was impressive how bad they screwed up. They had to put effort into making it that bad
The Mist (black and white version) is one of my favorite horror movies along with Scream and Jaws
I love Tom’s facial expressions 😂
I have been an avid Stephen King fan my entire life, I am 53 years old now. The mist was my favorite story of his of all time when I saw this movie, the ending is different. The ending is brilliant.Unfortunately, the first time I saw this movie at the theater when it came out an opening day, it was Thanksgiving and I caught a matinee. Needless to say I could not eat dinner afterwards. It had nothing to do with the Gore, the ending was a gut punch that I felt for days. Happy New Year’s guys looking forward to your reactions this year.
He's from Maine so he sets his stories there.
The Shining being the exception.
@@krashd
and The Stand ...and Misery
There are more.
Shout out to a fellow New Englander ❤️
The Darabont trilogy of Stephen King adaptions is a god-tier of movie making.
"We're going out"
Both of you... 😳😳😳
That made me laugh so hard 😂😂
what Stephen King does the best, is write about groups of people in stressful situations. the horror aspects are pretty much always secondary to how the group reacts to whatever the horror is. this is about as perfect an example of his strengths in writing as you'll get in a movie.
You guys should review The People Under The Stairs. One of West Cravens underrated movie classics.
Omg I haven’t seen that movie in years.
Rated just fine, its boring and lazy. I can see a kid liking it
@@mikemath9508 lol I remember being horrified of it as a kid (like, 10 years old) and have never dared go back. I'm sure its not that bad in reality, but I remember vividly being terrified of it.
The better story are the people under the stairs in "The Road". Now there's a happy place.
I always thought the ending was extra horrifying because it gives credence to Mrs Carmody’s prediction that they needed to sacrifice the boy and that whole party to appease the mist, and that literally what happens.
Whoa...mind blown...
Ha, I never thought of that.
For me, this movie only worth because of the ending. The rest of the movie, is done and saw so many times in movies of genre. But the end does give the discussion was she right all the long and many could be alive, if they had sacrifice the boy?
Except that those other people were survivors and the military had already been driving back the mist by that point which undercuts this theory.
@@johncampbell756 The entire time they were driving away from safety instead of towards it, that's the tragic irony.
The most devastating ending, ever! King's novella ends with them just leaving the store, but Darabont came up with the end, which King later said he wished he'd thought of it.
Darabont really knows how to adapt Kings novels to film. You should do a King series!!
The spider scene is immense! Poor Tom - nightmares for weeks!
This movie's ending wrecked me. But man, such a great film.
Oh guys, this is my favourite reaction you've done so far. Some of those faces!! I was right there with you. I totally agree that this movie is so underrated. It's hands down one of the bleakest endings to any movie I've ever seen, even after multiple viewings.
Love how three main characters of TWD are in the movie. Frank Darabont liked them.
one of the darkest endings to a movie ever! I love it
Wow. Several Walking Dead actors in this movie
And once again, Carol is the only one who survives haha
Frank Darabont who directed this is responsible for the first season of The Walking Dead getting made, he brought his favorite Character actors along for the first season.
@@ghadrackpotato960 well, The Mist was better than the Walking Dead. I was able to get barely into season 6 (to the episode with the supply truck and Jesus) and I stopped watching. Tired of so many DUMB decisions being made by Grimes - it just got repetitive and ridiculous
Several actors from Kings other movies.
@@rileyandmike Darabont got sick of dealing with some of the creative control issues and quit after season 1, hence the stall in season 2 at the farm.
"This is the most horrifying movie I have ever seen."
John Carpenter's The Thing: "Hold my beer."
They have already watched The Thing, so he must have decided that this movie affected him more than that one (which is quite an accomplishment)
@@otnat2094 which is absurd on a critical level as a film or fear inducing. This isn't even that good a film full of poorly done 00s cgi.
The sheer amount of classics they have given 7s but THIS is an 8?
It's subjective, yes. Doesn't make it any less ludicrous and why I hate scores. Especially when so dramatically off.
This places this movie...THIS...over some of the greatest films or horrors of all time.
It's madness. With all due respect.
Seriously, this is meant to be banter and not attacking. I'm just always clicking off before score because it always, without fail, pisses me off.
...I lead a sad life. Lol
@@booty2k Oh believe me I understand. That's why I left my other comment asking them about how they determine their scoring. The scores that they've given movies just don't make any sense to me.
19:15
The look of pure existential cosmic dread.
I love it.
18:35 this music from Dead Can Dance has been used in the Ron Fricke documentary Baraka (1992) , the scenes about world poverty. Very effective.
I wish you would watch either Baraka or the more recent but similat Samsara (2012)
After watching the movie Stephen King said he got mad because of the ending. He said he wished he had thought of it.
your reactions to when the body opened up to release the spiders was classic!!! hahaha. LOVE this movie. Especially the ending.
The music is by Dead Can Dance. Song is called The Host of Seraphim. All of their work is amazing! I remember watching this in theaters and hearing the low rumble of the organ and getting so excited knowing they were using DCD's song. Lisa Gerrard, one of the singers for Dead Can Dance, also did the music for Gladiador. If you liked the music I suggest checking the band out. They are supposed to be touring Europe and the US in 2021(COVID permitting), they don't tour often but their shows are amazing, like a religious experience.
huh. thx
I've always stood by my rating of this movie in a 10/10 it's so good and that massive twist at the end is heartbreaking
Okay, the mist is a pretty good movie it's a suspenseful, it's horror
Bad acting, bad effects, one dimensional characters, one of the most contrived and insulting endings to a movie in history.
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy Insulting? Tell me. How did the movie insult you?
@@RyanAcidhedzMurphy In what way, shape, or form is ANY of this true. The reason the characters can be hateable is because of how real the acting is. We hate some of these people because we have met similar ones before. Also, of course the characters wont be as fleshed out. Its literally only 2 hours long with a lengthy list of important characters. So that's the fault of the medium not the writing. And finally, how the hell is the ending contrived? It was brilliantly done to show the viewer how completely unforgiving the real world is. Its one of the few movie ending that actually seems realistic. In most movies the characters either get a happy or sad ending. This movie gave us both. The main dude got to keep living, but had to shoot four people including his son. Only to have the reason he did it be completely nullified within the next few seconds.
Your probably trolling, but I wanted to post this just in case.
Wish more films had the balls to end like this. Imagine avengers endgame ending with "I am inevitable" then he snaps cut to black.
Wow, that was a movie reveal. Another great video from Cinema Rules. Speaking of Stephen King, I would totally love a response to "Salem's Lot". It's such an understated vampire film.
There is a sequel that could be made about the woman who leaves the store to get back to her kids. Her journey would be harrowing...
@@Adrasdea her journey to recover her kids. Maybe some of it could be about her kids and their experience
It's possible the kids' story waiting would be boring if the windows and doors were closed a d the power was off so no lights or smell to attract creatures. They may not have known about the creatures until later after the mom arrived.
@@pbrsteve5974 my guess is she miraculously made it back home and hid in the basement or something with her kids till the military showed up not much of a movie there though lol
The ending of this movie makes me feel ill. Like I feel super guilty and I'm not even the one that shot my son.
Ironically, the mist disappears once the boy is dead. So, in a twisted sort of way, Mrs. Carmody was right.
I absolutely love this movie. It has one of the bleakest endings of any horror movie (really ANY movie) I've ever seen. It leaves a lasting impression on the viewer, and that's a rare thing.
Tom your face during most of that reaction was priceless lol. I knew the spider scene would be the one to get ya 😂🕸️👍
I’d love to see you react to the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
That's a great film
The ending is tragic
People displaying despair is one of the most horrifying things I have ever seen. Not violence, or gore, or even the unknown (though the mind crates worse things than reality), it's the complete loss of hope, submitting yourself to fate and giving up the fight just crushes the soul.
This was a perfect reaction video, because we were all living vicariously thru Shaun, waiting to see Tom's reaction to the ending!
Me and my dad would watch this like every month. The ending shocked us so much but we loved it, haha.
That’s awesome, my Dad and I also share a fondness for this movie as well! :)
There's also a black and white version of this film which I prefer. It can be found on blu-ray. The director wanted it released in black and white but the higher-ups disagreed. He saw the film as a sort of throw-back to 1950 B-Movies and thought black and white was more fitting.
The first Season of The Walking Dead (Darabont is the reason that show got made at all) is released in Black and White on BluRay the way he wanted people to see it as well.
@@ghadrackpotato960 Really? I didn't realize that. I'll have to check it out.
Finally, I’ve been scouring UA-cam for reactions to this movie for years and finally someone is doing it
Okay, first quick statement - I've seen this once before over twelve years ago and I'm still finding it near unbearably horrifying just re-watching through your reactions! So er, bravo King, Darabont and crew!
Mrs. Carmody is one of the best vilains ever in a movie
Isn’t she amazing. Acting so amazing at making you despise her.
I don't know which movies you've watched so far, but if that character seems well written to you - well, let's just say you have a lot of catching up to do^^
This is the most heartbreaking & scariest film I’ve seen!! I really wasn’t expecting a movie from you guys today but hey the sooner the better
The Thing and the Dark Tower paintings!
The ending to this movie will stick with you forever. Morbidly brilliant.
which I would pick between being a child protected by my dad, or being the dad protecting my son? honestly, both! i have a son and I certainly would do all I could to protect him, and I remember my dad being there if anyone or anything tried to harm me.
I would pick the Latter just because i am not a father
I'm NEVER venturing into a Waitrose Store again.
I love how most people hate the movie because of the ending. The ending is such a hard stop, it wasn't actually that much of problem if you'd just wait.
I never realized Captain Holt was in this!!
Edit: I think Tom needs trauma counseling after this movie.
There's a black and white version of The Mist out there too. That's my preferred way to watch it. To me, it just amps up the creepiness all the more. Great episode as always, guys!
That seems interesting. I've never known that.
it also makes the cgi look a lot more realistic as well
@@joeswallows3254 The cgi actually looks good in this movie, mainly because a lot of it is in the mist so it's easier to blend
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 I agree, the cgi in the colourized version is good. I just think it looks even better in black and white.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES FOR THIS! Perfect way to start day one of the new year!!!! You guys fucking rock.
I love that you appreciated this for what it was. I saw this when it 1st came out. I had JUST had my son the month b4. That ending scarred me for YEARS!
Great review, I've been dying to see this reaction ever since it was briefly mentioned in one of your early videos! Did not disappoint. This film is brutal. I dont watch it very often but when I do it shocks me every single time
King likes to set most of his stories in Maine. And if they aren't set there... A character usually has ties to his fictional towns in Maine.
And Colorado.
The mist is amazing, the ending is a killer.... It's different from the book, the book is actually hopeful....
Frank Darabont also worked on the early seasons of The Walking Dead (now in its tenth season, with three spin off shows and a trilogy of movies about to come out).
Did you spot the actors in this movie who when on to be main characters in The Walking Dead?
