"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.
It’s why despite how awful the cult was, they lived. It’s why Carol’s character lived, because she had hope her kids were alive. Hope is what we all need to have, even in a fucked up world.
I think the ultimate message of this movie is that it's a Stephen King movie made for entertainment and no other higher meaning or purpose beyond that.
@@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
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.
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.
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 🤣
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
"...from the Dark Tower, right?" This is certainly the _only_ reaction that caught that. 👏 One of the other posters is Hitchcock's The Birds...which King's short story The Mist is a "remake" of.
Everybody recognizes Andrea, Carol and Dale from TWD but nobody ever gets Morales (he’s one of the soldiers on leave). He’s the guy with wife and two kids that didn’t go with Rick’s group in s1. Rick fought and killed him during the war with Negan in season 8.
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.
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.
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
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.
You guys should DEFINITELY watch/react to the French movie "Vermines" or "Infested" (english title). Seriously react to it with the French audio, eng subtitles. REALLY amazing infestation movie - WHOEVER IS ON THEIR PATREON, MAKE SURE TO SUGGEST IT!!
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 trying to fall asleep scared as they hear all the creatures outside. at least then you could only imagine if they do or don't survive and this movie ending surprised the original author, and actually liked this ending better
The universe was intriguing to me kinda felt like clover field happening in a small town wish we could get more on it either before the events of the mist or after in another location but the mystery is prolly one of the biggest drives for interest and curiosity
"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 ultimate message of this movie is to never give up hope. Giving up hope is why the ending is so tragic.
It’s why despite how awful the cult was, they lived. It’s why Carol’s character lived, because she had hope her kids were alive.
Hope is what we all need to have, even in a fucked up world.
@@OllieBlazin tbh the cult would have killed itself off one by one too if the "apocalypse" didn't end so fast. They needed sacrifices after all.
I think the ultimate message of this movie is that it's a Stephen King movie made for entertainment and no other higher meaning or purpose beyond that.
Everybody: 😮😯😳😵
Chris: 🙂
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
@@kuhpunkt there was lots of debate about if they should have had the air on recycle or fresh mist coming from outside.
@@fredfinks what?!
The ending isn't even by Stephen King. Frank Darabont came up with it. In the books, everything is left up in the air.
From Rana cussing in Arabic to Pat thinking sperm is flying in the air, this is one the funniest reactions I've watched. Lmao😂
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

That was very apparent looking at the cast of this, first time I watched it💯.
Thomas Jane as Rick would have been awesome. Then we would have 2 Frank Castles in TWD
I like Thomas Jane as an actor but he wouldn't have worked for that part. They made the right choice
@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.

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
I SWEAR THIS REACTION WAS OUT OF NOWHERE. LOVE THIS!
Outta nowhere… like the mist… 👀 I’m sorry lol

They got it right.

Pat would still be searching for a Hello Kitty pillow to hide behind !!
Pat too scared for that. Probably the scariest one of the entire group.
I love pat but he’s the exact kind of person that this movie is portraying
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. 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, it's well known Pat is a garbage-tier human being with awful views, so it's hardly surprising lol
he's was calling for the cult leader's death the whole time...

@@destructorzombis1735lol you watch him enough and you can infer he’s not a well adjusted person

Just like josh Johnson joining the kkk rallies for free food.

Pat is hilarious, man. 😂😂
I haven't even watched it yet and I'm crying laughin 😂
Pat would be lucky if his IQ was 94.
So annoying and stupid
The ending always gets people!
Message at the end. Don't be so quick to abandon all hope. Help might be just around the corner... or 30 seconds behind you.
...Or you can get turned into a living *infestation* if you continue to live. Quite the gamble
And if you do lose hope don't then put that hope in a crazy zealot who tells you they talk to God
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.

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.
Pat: Pffft - there is nothing scary about a mist. Also Pat: I'M GOING TO CHURCH!!
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 :)
Remember seeing this with my dad at the movie theaters when it came out and when that ending happened… it left both of us shocked
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.
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.
Such an awesome reaction. You guys were so animated, I was grinning the whole time! I love how invested you were. So much fun.
Thank God for Chris and spidey being in this. The evil laughter during the spider scene was perfect.
Spidey and Chris screaming at the baby spiders made my day 29:07
if you want to know the name of the song at the ending of the movie, it's called "host of seraphin by dead can dance"
Mrs. Carmody said they needed the kid for a sacrifice and The mist went away after the kid died...
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.
13:49 "Hey God don't talk like that!" 😂 So be great, and I agree
21:42 Is a great mirror moment with Navi and Spidey throwing their heads back as Pat is gobsmacked in the middle.

Pat ruins every emotional moment in a reaction.
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.
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
Thats cicadas not locust and pats def the one that get bitten and hide it from everyone
David kept his promise to his son - he didn't let the "monsters" get him.
Is there a reason why the movie footage is blurred?
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.
Pat: "Don't sh*ot the kid! DON'T sh*ot the kid!"
Movie: "You can''t tell me what to do!"
Pat: "Pick up the gun! Pick up the gun!"
Movie: "Hmm, okay."
You guys should DEFINITELY watch/react to the French movie "Vermines" or "Infested" (english title). Seriously react to it with the French audio, eng subtitles. REALLY amazing infestation movie - WHOEVER IS ON THEIR PATREON, MAKE SURE TO SUGGEST IT!!
Also dunno if you noticed, but the soldier who gets sacrificed, he is the dude who voices Darth Maul in Clone Wars and Rebels
And Starkiller...
26:36 granny the mvp of this movie 😅😂🤣.
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 trying to fall asleep scared as they hear all the creatures outside. at least then you could only imagine if they do or don't survive and this movie ending surprised the original author, and actually liked this ending better
So we watching Quarantine next 😂😂😂
Yep, in Kings original ending everyone in the car survived. The director changed the ending. And King liked this ending better.
The universe was intriguing to me kinda felt like clover field happening in a small town wish we could get more on it either before the events of the mist or after in another location but the mystery is prolly one of the biggest drives for interest and curiosity
