wow, trillian. The mist was awesome! how can that be a bottom 10!!!!

the mist was in my bottom 10 too, the movie was fine untill the end. then it all sucked ass, and ruined the whole movie for me.

Bad CGI can ruin an otherwise decent film for me. That's one reason Spiderman 2 is on there, too. But, yugh. The Mist was freaking annoying. It seems like the King novel might be worth a read but the cinematic version is just aggravating.

that's what makes it so great!!! the irony that they didn't have to commit suicide!

it would have been great if they had ended the movie when they left the store, then you would be all oh i wonder if they made it, or did they die? that ending runied it all, bad cgi and all it was good up untill then. i would have never gone out like that, those flipping bugs would have had to kill me. i could never in a million and five years kill my son. i wouldn't let him get torn apart by ginormous bugs either, but there were no bugs around then, they could have waited, or gotten gas from a car on the side of the road. there are so many other senarios that could have happend. just saying.

I enjoyed the Mist movie, I just saw it a couple of weeks ago. I read the book first a year or two ago, which I also enjoyed.

The end of the movie wasn't the same as the book. But to be honest I'm not that keen on either ending. Still a good movie/book though, a good story about how people act in a terror situation.

all horror movies are dumb, and everyone in them is even dumber.

the hitcher is one like that, the main characters are dumb as hell it pisses you off. i only managed to make it through by saying my friends were the various characters.

i just watched the host again, its really cool, i really like the part where the archer girl is making her way to save the little girl and she gets a text and its like a minute of wide angle shots of her running through the HUGE bridge scenery.

I wouldn't really say The Mist is a horror movie. Not a typical one at least, it looks more at the people and the human mind than just trying for cheap scares.

how does the book end?

Ok, so if anyone is planning to read the book, don't read this post!!

The book ends with the dad and his boy going off in the car (just the two of them from what I remember). Drive down the road, seeing the mist and monsters everywhere as in the movie. They get to some hotel or something, no one there of course. Then the dad writes a journal entry kind of thing, and basically says they don't know how far the mist goes or what will happen to them and that's it.
So it's kind of a non-ending. Slightly better than the movie ending, but still not great. But I don't find either ending bad enough to ruin the experience for me.
