You become pulled into the film, feeling the clostrophobic and petrified atmosphere in the store, that you start to feel what most of the characters are feeling. The ending was perfect as it reminded me of A Clockwork Orange in that ..... SPOILERS BELOW!!!! the government always knows how to screw things up and then try to cover up their actions after so much destruction and chaos has occured. However, in this film, you can't fix what was tampered with.

I loved how they just went into the carnage, no set up just a storm and then the %%$# hits the fan. The ending did take me back a little, very unexpected. Overall one of the best King adaptations.

Posts: 12 Dec 10 11 5:34 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So I was bored last night and I put The Mist in my DVD player and watched it again to see if it held up as a good movie and I still think it's a great movie..I love that it's an ensemble cast and not just about David Drayton and his young son( the kid who plays James Gordon, Jr.in The Dark Knight). It's all the different secondary characters interacting with each while stuck in the store that make this movie what it is...and that religious lady is still a $%$!+! The creatures still look great. On a personal note, I have an aunt and uncle who live in Portland, Maine so at the end of the movie, when they travel on that highway and you see the roadsigns, I've been on that road and I found that cool. SPOILER: Also like that the only one who survives(besides David but his life is pretty much ruined anyway) is the women with the 8 year old and a baby at home who asked someone to escort her home at the beginning of the movie but all the men were too chicken @@*! to do so..This was the first time I noticed her on the back of the army truck with her kids at the end of the movie.

I want to be horrified and disturbed and even a little nauseated. This one did all of it, love The Mist! "We've already made arrangements for relocating the cemetery."

You should read "Brian Keene", especially his book "Unhappy Endings" it's a collection of short stories that..well... don't have happy endings.
