The Mist - Patreon Version

The main point of this movie is to never lose hope, ever. I miss Frank Darabont making movies. This is a phenomenal film! I watched this in theaters when it came out and took me a long time to leave my seat.

I like the film because its a well made film, but I don't agree with the philosophy in it. The film believes that its in peoples nature to turn on each other when things get difficult, but I agree with Amanda, people tend to be inherently good and actually tend to help each other out. And the evidence supports me (its also what sociology says to be true) If the philosophy in the Mist was correct, we would never have been able to build a society in the first place. We got to this luxury with the lights on and the machines turning etc because we are good to each other and tend to work well together. It does make for a good story, but sometimes I get a little tired of Hollywoods tendency to portray humans "as the real monsters" etc However the fact that we make such films as "warnings", shows that we really are not monsters, since we can recognize monstrous behavior. I.e. we tend to understand good vs evil. However, on occasion people do turn on each other (but its not the norm), so its not entirely unrealistic in social behavior. But looking at the film as a social study for typical social behavior is a mistake.

This film also reminds me of the good old days of The Walking Dead. That show went to shit but the early seasons (espeicially season 1 with Darabont as showrunner) are great.

Everyone hates the ending the first time but as others have said, it's a story about faith. Crazy lady had faith so was spared from the bug. David didn't, so he paid the price. It's not a nihilistic film - quite the opposite.

I disagree, but each their own 👍

There is a bit of a good guy wins tho because the military does takes back control.

I haven't read the book, but apparently it had a different ending and Stephen King said in an interview that he liked the movie's ending better.

Really enjoyed this reaction video, especially watching Simone get visibly furious at the end of the film. 😀

I first saw this film in 2008. My son was 4 and I was a single father. This ending has stayed with me over all these years. I could not imagine pulling that trigger. One of the most fucked up endings in movie history and just when you think it's gotten as dark as it could possibly get, they found a way to make it 10x darker. It haunts me forever.

When I first heard of this film, somehow I got spoiled. I decided I will never watch this. I didn't have kids back then. Now that I do, I really don't want to ever watch it.

As George said, if nothing else the ending is memorable and it deserves credit for that. Love it or hate, you'll always *remember* it. Most films you struggle to remember what happened in it by the next day. Movies need the odd F U ending to keep us on our toes.

Good reactions, Simone, and George! Yeah, “The Mist” is a tough watch. But when George asked what was the point of the movie I could see you missed the point. It was a play depicting how fragile society can be. As said on the loading dock that if you take away electricity, 9-1-1, and put people in fear, society will break down fairly quickly. I mean, it took one day for the people in the supermarket to divide up into three groups. One group leaves, and then you’ve got a group, spearheaded by a zealot, who will blame anyone for their situations, and the other, “rational” people. Given enough fear, more and more people will gravitate towards the one that will comfort them the most and make them feel protected. The self-destruction of society has been the topic of many stories. The first time I encountered it was in an old “Twilight Zone” episode (and a story in an anthology of Twilight Zone type stories), “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street’. In that story, a neighborhood loses all power, including automobiles not working, etc. A new family had moved into the neighborhood, and for some reason they had power. Suspicion and paranoia take over as another house will have power, while others will lose power they previously had. And the people will naturally turn on each other. I won’t spoil the ending as to why what was going on occurred. But it’s basically the same thing here. Paranoia, suspicion, anger will tear a society apart as each group will view the second group as “Others” and blame will be assigned. Re: the ending. In the novella, the group in the car continue driving (I suppose prior to running out of gas). The movie ending was all Frank Darabont. And Stephen King loved it. He has said he wished he had thought of that ending. But, on to why they didn’t wait. They had no gas, no way to get anywhere. They were still hearing the monster noises all around them. They had no idea how far the mist (and its monsters) had spread. How long do you wait? Also, you may have missed a very important piece of dialogue when you were talking about something else. Billy (David’s son) asked his dad for a very special promise that no matter what happened, he (the dad) wouldn’t let the monsters get him. To the adults in the car, the world had ended. All that remained was slow death by dehydration and starvation, or the quick death via the gun. Afterward, David was exhorting for the monsters to kill him, after he had given his son and the rest a presumably merciful death. After the movie ends, whether it’s a week, month, or a year, I’m thinking David would end himself due to his (misplaced in my mind) guilt. Yes, Stephen Kind thought Stanley Kubrick’s version of “The Shining” was a terrible adaptation of his book. He thought it was a visual masterpiece, but in no way captured the essence of his book. So disappointed was he that he wrote a three-part miniseries for TV which was much, much closer to his book. Most people who read King’s book and then saw Kubrick’s film were disappointed. Including me. It would have been better if Kubrick had called his movie, “The Overlook” (the name of the hotel) as the actual Shining power had little to do any actions in the movie.

Just had a f-d up thought listening to your recap. What if that hyper-religious lady was right and they needed to sacrifice the boy for it all to end. Think about what those folks in the store will think when/if they hear his story. You could make the argument they were clearing away the creatures before that but from the viewers perspective nothing is resolved until he kills his son. Huge biblical undertones throughout this movie even when they are filtered through an awful character.

Middy

I'm so, so glad George was as annoyed as I was. I can deal with depressing endings, but those people...

Grinznmore

The religious zealot was vindicated. She said the boy must be the next sacrifice. The irony is that the father, the least likely, provides the sacrifice.

Chase Lonnergan

I loved part of this story, if there is one thing that Stephen King is good at, it's ripping off Lovecraft and trying to pretend it's an original idea. But I also cannot stand his utter loathing for Christianity. Every "Christian" character in EVERYTHING he writes is either a lunatic, a monster, a murderer, a racist, or a rapist. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Dude is a major league asshole.

xD This movie was wicked crazy! Wasn't scary to me at all but it was definitely crazy! lmao, any movie or actual place with a overzealous religious person I'm just going to avoid it, thank you very much! While I'm not surprised that she got blown away in the end I would've probably done it or just tossed her outside into the mists before she gathered her flock. Then again though, the people that she turned are among the weakest of the bunch mentally - so no real loss here. xDD These movies always make me think about what I'd be doing in a situation like that. Sorry if you're not the sort that likes to imagine these things, I'm just saying my piece on it. . Happy that you both reacted to this, even if you're not. :P The reaction was very entertaining and fun to watch. Simone's terror filled face or George's reactions to dark scenes really entertain me. While the ending was pretty damn depressing and awful - it's something that I said (as I was watching) would happen. I of course said that in a joking way!.. but then it just happened! xD Wow! hahhaha

Dude, I would have been hurling tinned peas non-stop. I actually started getting annoyed with the "good guys" for not fighting back more.

There were religious people in the movie who didn't join the zealot, they just weren't given much focus because it's not a story about God or faith, it's a story about how crazy people get when society breaks down.

Not Stephen King's ending. But I heard he liked this ending more than his. Not sure if that's true. My favorite ending to any movie I've ever seen. Just because I knew the original ending and this completely subverted my expectations.

BTW. Do NOT see "Happiness" If you were this affected by a movie. I guess I just like really dark movies.

Shibby

To me I think Mrs Carmody is especially evil because she influences other ordinary people to do evil as well. This makes it worse than just her being evil by herself.

Brendan Rafferty

Your choice of screen capture of the two of you laughing and having a good time seems an odd choice for this reaction video. 😀

This might be one of the wort endings in movie history. It's not deep, it's not satisfying...it's pure shock value just for the sake of it. I enjoyed most of the movie up until the ending, and I'll never watch it again.

when I saw this in the theater it was in the middle of the day on like a wednesday or tuesday. the best time to see any kind of horror movie IMO. basically a private screening, in the dark, giant screen, big sound, no one distracting you and extra scary factor being alone. there were like 6 of us in the theater. i was by myself and there was like 2 couples and maybe 1 other person watching the movie. at the end everyone just stood up, just a look a shock on our faces. no one said a thing, not even the couples, we all just walked out in a line. think we were all just wondering, "did we just see that ending?" got to my car a realized i was still holding my empty popcorn tub. looked over at the couple that had been sitting in front and the guy was still carrying their drinks and empty popcorn. just such a WTF ending. I thought it was a great movie, but that ending just threw the whole experience off. I still enjoyed it, even the crazy depressing ending, just never had a reason to rewatch it until now because I knew the struggle was almost for nothing. but still see the whole theme of the movie and appreciate what it really says about society when shit goes down. oh and the painting at the beginning was a King book reference. and there is a series for this as well. but I havent seen it and know nothing about it.

This movie and Splice are equal parts unenjoyable and unforgettable. Walked out of the theater after both movies in a daze thinking WTF did I just watch.

Here is an interesting bit of trivia I read: When Jane picked out a comic book for his son in the pharmacy it was supposed to be a Punisher comic but because Jane had some problem with the studio or something he didn't want to do that so it became a different comic. Love or hate the ending, I love it, it certainly makes this movie a true horror movie. Also this makes for one of, if the the, best reaction moments of all movies lol. This reminds me of two John Carpenter horror greats: Christine, based on Stephen King, and The Fog (the original not the lousy remake).
