The Mist Movie Description:
After a powerful storm damages their Maine home, David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his young son head into town to gather food and supplies. Soon afterward, a thick fog rolls in and engulfs the town, trapping the Draytons and others in the grocery store. Terror mounts as deadly creatures reveal themselves outside, but that may be nothing compared to the threat within, where a zealot (Marcia Gay Harden) calls for a sacrifice.
The Mist (also known as Stephen King's The Mist) is a 2007 American science-fiction horror film based on the 1980 novella "The Mist" by Stephen King. The film was written and directed by Frank Darabont. Darabont had been interested in adapting "The Mist" for the big screen since the 1980s. The film features an ensemble cast, including Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Nathan Gamble, Andre Braugher, Toby Jones, Frances Sternhagen, Buck Taylor, William Sadler, David Jensen, Sam Witwer, Alexa Davalos, Robert Treveiler, Chris Owen, Andy Stahl, and future The Walking Dead actors Jeffrey DeMunn, Laurie Holden, Melissa McBride, and Juan Gabriel Pareja.
The director revised the ending of the film to be darker than the novella's ending, a change to which King was amenable. Darabont also sought unique creature designs to differentiate them from his creatures in past films. Although a monster movie, the central theme explores what ordinary people are driven to do under extraordinary circumstances. The plot revolves around members of the small town of Bridgton, Maine, who after a severe thunderstorm causes the power to go out the night before, meet in a supermarket to pick up supplies. While they struggle to survive, an unnatural mist envelops the town and conceals vicious, Lovecraftian monsters as extreme tensions rise among the survivors.
Filming for The Mist began in Shreveport, Louisiana, in February 2007. The film was commercially released in the United States and Canada on November 21, 2007; it performed well at the box office and received generally positive reviews. Darabont has since revealed that he had "always had it in mind to shoot The Mist in black and white", a decision inspired by such films as Night of the Living Dead (1968) and the "pre-color" work of Ray Harryhausen. While the film's cinematic release was in color, the director has described the black-and-white print (released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2008) as his "preferred version."

This Might Be My Favorite Stephen King Movie...
Stand By Me is my fave SK movie, IT is my favorite book.
This movie is a rite of passage. You can now wear a t-shirt that says: "I Survived The Mist"
I hope you get to see this in black and white. It’s considered the original vision the movie was supposed to be in.
React to Stephen King's Room 1408 .. one of the best psychological horror masterpiece.
I have a special place in my heart for dreamcatcher.
But I also like Dr sleep... It's all good really
The ending isn't the same in the book. Steven King actually praised this adaptation because it also caught him off guard.
Brilliant film.
The ending in the book was fantastic, movie audiences would've hated it. I thought it was a great change for once.
Stephen.
@@whitesneeks4499 this one makes sense, the military clearly knew what the cause was hence why they mobilized everything, and its already been shown a majority of the creatures were killable, only makes sense that an armored battalion and a fuck ton of soldiers and marines could clear out the creatures so easily.
What happened in the book?
@@4tchilling956 They left a note in a hotel saying they were headed out again, and it ends there with everything unresolved.
Mell: "I'm liking the execution so far with this father/son relationship..."
Me: **leans forward**
Oh… I see what you did there
🤣😂🥲😭
😅😅😅
I groaned when he said that knowing how the movie ends.
Hahaha wow
*Eyebrows raise*
This is one of the most painful movies I have ever watched
While being one of the dumbest films ever. Its a miracle that its actually a good movie ;D Its hard to do that now days.
Glad to see you here sir! big fan here
@@iFranOne Dumbest film ever... indeed. Have seen it a long time ago, youtube reactions reminded me how much i dislike it.
@@palasta it has so many plot holes and overall - such an absurdity, but yet it has some intrest in it.
You're a fucking rockstar NSC
Fun fact about The Mist:
The ending wasn't written by Stephen King, but apparently he loved it more than the ending he'd written originally, and insisted that the film ending as it is seen is what he wishes he'd written.
Didn't King outright say that he wished he would've thought of that ending?
I came to the comments to say the same thing. King is on record saying this is one of his favorite movie adoptions to his books, especially the ending
@@JHulse29 and yet its funny Ive heard most King fans say this movie is one of the worst because the ending is so different.
@@xBloodxFangx as a King fan, I'll say I hated what they did with the ending of The Shining, but I thought this one was fuckin great and better than Kings ending.
This is *WHY* we *NEED* a Frank Darabont *_"THE DARK TOWER!!!!_* Because I _Refuse_ to be aware of *any* _alleged_ such film. Dragon Ball Evolution was a *BETTER* adapation.
I'm still surprised no one has done it yet... a Western Sci-Fi Dimensional Realm.... Stephen King's Magnum Opus... Would blow either G.O.T. *OR* L.O.T.R. out in either format. Either in a seasonal or a 3-5-7 part Movie series....I mean, A book a movie would be Great!!!
*BUT FRANK HAS TO BE THE ONE TO DO IT!!!*
Horror is not just "spooky jump scare" when well done. Feeling lost, uncomfortable, disturbed, are all part of "Horror". This movie leaves you melancholic, with a bad taste in your mouth. Horrified at the situation, the people etc.
Great reaction!
Ahhh you say it so well!!! Honestly, that’s why I love Stephen King. Because he always puts human emotion into his horror. And not only makes everything really believable no matter how wild the plot gets, but it explores so many different aspects of what horror is.
@callmecatalyst I'm really glad to see that I'm not alone in this perspective. Maybe... okay, *probably* a large part of it is just how abysmally shitty that every TV movie of King's work is (It, Tommyknockers, The Langoliers, The Shining, and probably others I've forgotten), but while I'm sure King has written some fantastic stuff, and while directors like Stanley Kubrick have shown that King's books can be terrifying on the big screen with the proper adaptation, so much of his work seems to suffer the same few fatal flaws that keep it from reaching its peak potential:
-excessive amounts of characters, most of whom suck (The Mist, It, Langoliers, and Maximum Overdrive are all primary examples of this.)
-ridiculously bloated word counts (A book doesn't need to be 1100 pages to be scary. I'd argue in fact that a shorter, less detailed work that leaves more to the imagination will almost always be superior in this regard.)
-nonsensical and oftentimes contradictory logic (The entire plot of Maximum Overdrive can't seem to decide on a definitive source of the hostile machine animation, while other stories like The Mist and The Langoliers seem to be happy to barely explain anything about why the plot is happening the way it is.)
-most of the scares are just existing ideas that King stole and slapped his own dumb names onto (To paraphrase the Nostalgia Critic, 'instead of aliens, they're 'Tommyknockers'; instead of a 'demon,' there's 'It.')
How King got so popular and remains such for half a century utterly baffles me. I can't help but feel a big part of it is either continuous exposure or him being propped up and peddled by someone in the media. Either way, it's bullshit.
@callmecatalyst and Wiseass Skeleton Why are you guys going against Stephen King? I love Stephen King.
@callmecatalyst The only people that don't like Stephen King are pretentious cunts. They hate him cause he's popular. They are so jealous that they write huge hate novels in youtube comments about him😂😂
Well said,man.
I also was had such a emotions like David Drayton after killing four people,including his own son 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"I'm liking the execution so far with this father/son relationship."
That's an... apt... choice of words there.
Oof. XO
FORESHADOWING
I think what's even more terrifying than the monsters is us humans and what we are capable of. It shows just how easy it is to lose our humanity when the order of things fails.
I saw this movie when it was new and really enjoyed it, but watching it in 2021 is another experience entirely...
That's basically the whole point of this story.
That was the whole point. The "monsters" we see are really just animals from another dimension, doing what they do naturally to live. We humans are capable of TRULY monstrous acts out of fear.
They got the whole Walking Dead cast up in here.
That's because the first season was helped by Frank darabont.
Thomas Jane was up for the Rick role too
It’s called “herd mentality”, Mell ^^ and it’s pretty common in such stressful fear fueled scenarios. People abandon common sense and listen to the person that speaks the loudest and with the most conviction. It’s unfortunately a psychological thing that a lot of people fall victim to. Not sure what would enable someone to overcome it, maybe a higher tolerance of fear but regardless, it’s something that you’ll see in many such movies where a large group of people is left (look at Train of Busan for instance)
Train to busan bro bro
@@jussjaygaming sorry, you right. It was 4am when I typed this comment haha
@@blinkachu5275 lmao ik the feeling😂😂
@@blinkachu5275 nah speak the truth cause shit like that is actually happening more than usual in the real world, and it’s genuinely sad that it’s true
@@soberscrim299 That's.... what I'm saying...?
There's only one word for this movie: Pain.
Fun Fact: During an action scene in the film, a man runs into a wire rotating-book shelf in the grocery store. If you look carefully, you can clearly see that all the books on the shelf are written by Stephen King.
The painting the main guy is doing at the beginning is also a Dark Tower image.
Ha! Of course they were XD
Love that. Thanks for pointing it out!
Another fun fact: the pharmacy they later take the pain medication from is called the King's Pharmacy.
The director intended the movie to be in black-and-white. It enhances the lighting and makes the CGI look slightly better.
The DVD release did come with a B/W version . They just desaturated the color from original. It was interesting .
I sat and cried for at least 10 minutes after watching this film, one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen. You certainly held it together better than I did. Thank you for reacting to this ❤️
Same! Watched it a couple of hours ago and the melancholy is still with me 😢
The reason why several people from the Walking Dead show up here is that Darabont was the showrunner for the first two seasons. However, he was fired when AMC wanted to cut the budget which is sad because evidently, Darabont had some amazing plans for the series.
He was actually going to follow the comics lol, and then they killed Angela
I didn't know that. Explains why the quality dropped so severely halfway through the 2nd season.
@@fredwin Yeah, from what I heard the reason why that season is basically just spinning its wheels in place is because of all the behind-the-scenes drama.
I'm still upset they kicked him out.
AMC made a big mistake by firing Frank.
This movie is a masterpiece and I don’t think I could ever watch it again.
I've only ever seen the ending and I dont know if I can watch it from the beginning
Same here I've only seen it once too. One of my top 20 movies
@Necramonium maybe but the true monster was religion and that always holds up
@Necramonium CGI looks fine if you watch the version that director wanted to release. Black and white version.
@@daveross1638 Taste is subjective though.
I could hardly get through the ending of this one. It’s absolutely heart wrenching
Yes, especially with that Dead Can Dance song playing.
The fact that they stopped at his house and not at ANY gas station on the way - its the most ironic and ridiculous thing I've ever seen ;DD
I’ll never forget that initial feeling I had on my first viewing of this movie.
I saw this in theaters out of boredom, and it was the first movie that I remember where everyone in the auditorium was dead silent as we all got out of our seats and walked out as the credits rolled. It was an experience that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Hey Mel, I just had to take the time to comment here. I watched this only once, years ago, and I swore I'd never watch it again. Keep your chin up, and keep powering on.
Aren’t you the villain that’s supposed be in eternals? Wyd here?
Same. I bought it on DVD from retail. Never watched it again since (except reaction videos of it in recent times and even then, I skip past certain parts).
I swore the same. I bought my own copy of the film on DVD and this damn movie depressed me so much I snapped the disc. I absolutely hate this ending, and I promised myself I'd never watch it again (reaction vids aside, and even that I took my time deciding).
Same, but only because it has such a slow burn.
Nicely said.
FYI the music from the final scene is “The Host of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance. Their music is amazing. Their female singer is Lisa Gerrard, who went on to greater fame for her film score work.
Her voice is so haunting
The religious woman was able to take power because she claimed to have the answers to the problem. Everybody is scared, and fear makes you irrational, now the crazy lady that everyone previously made fun of is now an extremist cult leader ordering people to be sacrificed. And the people will do it because they rely on her to fix the problem and know the answers because she make a few key predictions that came true. This movie really focuses on small town mentality and how outsiders aren't to be trusted. It also shows how fast humans go from civilized to barbaric when pressure is applied.
We see the same thing in real life nowadays too on a much larger scale, with people who claim to have “answers” (really just misinformation) to the big questions/problems humanity faces and they spread it online and attract followers
Just feeding off of people’s fear and desire for answers
Incidentally, there's a section in the New Testament, detailing a Whore of Babylon. The Whore (also translated as a sinful Idol) leads people astray through promises and admiration, not unlike this nutjob's offers of salvation and safety in exchange for sacrifice and devotion.
@@joshuagross3151
Exactly. But are folks on the Evangelical Christian Right looking at their churches and seeing the parallels to the Whore of Babylon that they SHOULD see? Nope
@@coyotelong4349 She never mentioned her political standing, though.
@@joshuagross3151
No, but I’m talking about in real life
The Mell jumpscares are becoming classic moments
Probably THE saddest ending to a movie I have ever watched
No kidding!!,when i first saw that I was like "WHAT!!,GODDAMN only minutes from help!! The absolute irony!!!
@@johndoe-uz2kc Even worse, they were going in the wrong direction the whole time. If they'd been going the other way, they would've run into the military before running out of gas :(
@@huber7777 i didn't even think of that 😳,wow that sucks.
@@huber7777 aye the army came from behind, they were probably driving for a long time IN the mist as it was disapating behind them. Thanks for adding another horrible layer to this brutal ending 🙃
This story scared me to death when I read it, and the movie ending was soul crushing.
The ending music is Dead Can Dance from 1988. I used to listen to the album on repeat when it first came out. Haunting.
His short story adaptations are wonderful. I never thought The Body would become a movie as great as Stand By Me. He has a couple of others I'd like to see made into movies...or at least an anthology. The Ladyfingers story and the Beer monster...
@@Seereene1 The Long Walk is my favorite!
The painting of the cowboy with the tower, the door and the rose at the beginning is actually Roland Deschain of Gilead, one of the most important character in Stephen King's book universe.
Basically, in the Dark Tower book saga, it is explained that every reality plane are linked together into a cohesive balance by a pylon, the Dark Tower. Roland is looking for the tower in order to save his own world, on the verge of destruction. This "link" between existences is the way King's linked every single one of his books and novels together. This is why you see characters from one book appears or being namedropped in others etc.
Examples : Father Callahan from the Salem's Lot books is also a main character in the Dark Tower. Pennywise from "It" is vanquished with the help of a "spirit turtle", which made little sense in the book "It", but is further explained in the Dark Tower. Etc, etc.
The Dark Tower saga is the cornerstone of every book King's ever written and will write in the future
Say true! Long days. Pleasant nights, Gunslinger!
The Man In Black goes by many names: Marten Broadcloak, Randall Flagg, The Walking Dude, Bill Hinch 👻
Bango Skank
The most evil reoccurring character definitely is Randall Flag and there could be a very good The Stand and Dark Tower adaptations, but I’d work best if done in order because his character appears in both.
@@DaniBlazin Long days and pleasant nights, thankee sai
And relevant to The Mist: What Project Arrowhead seems to have done is open what in other worlds is known as a "thinny" - a place where the world is rubbed thin like old cloth and things from other places or . . . outside . . . can cross over. Worse, the thinnies themselves might be alive and malevolent!
@@gmchris3752 Was going to post the same.
Not gonna lie...it took a GOOD LONG WHILE for me to get past how the ending played out. Like, my heart just sank when the military showed and the mist cleared mere minutes afterwards knowing that they were that close to making it out alive 😫
And they never where actually close for that freedom. Only when the boy was "sacreficed" that the mist went away.
Thomas Jane & the boy playing his son gave performances that were absolutely outstanding. The final scene was an absolute shock. So well done.
Fun fact. The paintings at the beginning are done by Drew struzan who is a very famous movie poster artist back in the seventies and eighties and nineties and actually currently
As a Father it was extremely hard. I couldn’t possibly imagine going through something like this.
Mell - a few things - the reason people were not freaked out by all the Army was due to the fact there was a Army base on the other side of the lake. The Army was always around. As for the lady leaving the little girl - chances are they were right around the corner the supermarket was in the middle of town so people walked there. And I think he said chicken since it would go bad the fastest - you ever leave chicken out to go bad?
The book ending is just the main characters pulling over and stopping for the night, I’m glad the movie did something different (I like both endings though)
Steven King actually liked the movie’s ending was better than his
The ending is one of the most shocking and controversial in horror film history.
Hilarious too in a dark way.
@@sunsetter3796 Shit'll turn you into a journal writer in an H.P. Lovecraft story.
@@sunsetter3796 How?
@@SStupendous because if they would have waited just a few more minutes..
@@JesusRodriguez-rs8jq Oh yeah, I guess so..
The director of this film went on to do Season 1 of the Walking Dead on AMC. Until they fucked him over and fired him after they announced the 2nd season. A lot of actors on this film are personal friends of the Director and wanted to help them out and give them acting roles in the series. He's a downright awesome and nice man.
Frank Darabont is a genius when it comes to adapting Kings work.
He has such an eye for the material and he knows how to add what improved the story and doesn’t take away
Edit: OH MY GOD THE SCREAM! When Mello saw that tentacle when they went to turn the generator on I know he saw Jesus, his whole life flashed before his eyes.
25:21 I was laughing so hard 😂 this was literally my exact reaction lmao you got a sub from me man, most fun reaction I've seen in a while
I love how different this is to Darabont's two other King adaptations (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile). Just an unrelentingly brutal movie, with interesting behind-the-scene facts and tidbits about the production.
It's a sliding scale of hope starts off positive, ends in misery.
Of course Darabont made Shawshank. That guy's a genius.
Once again, Stephen King does it again. He does things deeper than just horror.
My heart broke for you watching this. It’s a great film but it feels like trial by fire. Time to get your “I survived the mist” tshirt ♥️
"This movie is so much more than i thought it would be"
10 minutes before the ending 😬
When I saw this in a theater full of people and this ending happened I don't think I've ever experienced an ending where the entire audience is sobbing and not knowing what to do it's a lot of people crying with their faces in their palms absolute unique audience reaction
Man I'm messed up since I laughed at the ending
You must live around extremely emotional people. In my theater there was just silence and one guy saying, "Well, that sucks."
8:59 Yup. Frustrations galore. 12:20 OMG. I've seen this move a dozen times and I've never thought of that. lol
After everything that's been going on this year you were brave as hell to watch this film. This is one of the emotionally roughest movies I've ever watched next to The Road (it's another '...wow, I don't think I need to watch this again...' films). Much love to you man, don't stress your schedule too much, if you try to force it your energy level might drop and we know how much you love to bring your A game.
Fantastic reaction as always, I love to hate this film specifically for how harrowing and depressing the ending is. It's a masterpiece of horror, dread and heartache.
Indeed a truly tragic movie. Idk tho i watch alotta horror so I've watched this probably a dozen plus times. The acting and the film in general is very well done . The ending though is insane . Fuck the religious lady with a passion, she was horrible .
The art located in the house is are all actual movie posters, the most prominent one is for The Thing. The poster he is working on, however, is a reference to The Dark Tower which is another King work, a sprawling fantasy epic that basically connects every story that Mr. King ever wrote (including the mist) to each other, it got a movie as well but it was not very good.
The dark tower movie was a slap in the face to every fan of the series. Terrible in every way. It could have been so much more.
@@kurosbelmont2355 Thankee sai, It was horrible.
Such a betrayal
The books are 5? 7? More than one movie anyway. Wish they'd do it properly, I love that series.
So glad to see you back and enjoying yourself, my dude, hope you and your family are healing up and feeling good. 🙏
Now that I've seen the reaction, I'm sorry you had to go through that 😅
Sam Whitaker aka "star killer" is also the voice of Darth maul in the clone wars series
He also took over the palpatine role after Ian Abercrombie died. He was the wise man of the castle in Army of Darkness.
@@jstratton1981 he also played a gay hunk in "it's always sunny in Philadelphia"
Your reactions are justified. I read this story probably 40 years ago and I've had daymares about going into Supermarkets ever since. It will hit me suddenly...what if the world comes to and end while I'm in the damn check out line with some chicken and chips?? I was so excited for the movie and was not disappointed that Stephen waited until the movie technology caught up with his imagination. Your emotions were on your sleeves with this one Mel and I hope you and your fam are ok.
This movies causes so many emotions. The ending gets me every time. It is definitely one of the more shocking and sad endings to a movie.
That rant at 25:20 absolutely slayed me. Great reaction video.
this movie proves that people that have crazy beliefs can be dangerous in monster attacks. heck 2012 movie shows praying ain't gonna do sht
Only the hard core nut jobs ones bro
it shows that uncontrolled blind hope in religion isnt good, but the ending also shows you shouldnt blindly give in to despair.
By crazy beliefs, I hope you are including things other than religion.
I mean... how do you know though? You know where the people who prayed went after they died? 😂 I'm agnostic, but no reason to put down praying, it literally doesn't negatively affect anyone in any way
@@jessicamacaulay7462 if their is a hell I know those people in the grocery store at the end went there.
So glad so many reactors are watching this movie! It's one of my all time favourites, though I can't really watch it that much... it hits hard.
Love the vibe, the relatively straight forward story, and holy crap... that ending. Also, the actors in this film - so damned great, their reactions feel so genuine, not over acted or hammy, not flat. Really love this film...and after COVID, the way people reacted? Yeah, 100% people will do that.
I think the big thing with this movie, is that the true monsters aren't the creatures outside in the mist but what lurks within people.
Love you picked the bloke from Force Unleashed! Great spotting!
Small little bit of cool trivia, the Steven King story this is based on inspired the 1998 video game Half Life (If you've never played the original, it follows a scientist fighting his way out of the secret military base after an experiment goes wrong opening a doorway to another universe allowing monsters/aliens to flow into our world)
Also, don't fret about not being able to get all the movies up in October mate, your life outside of RUclips is more important to get to first :)
Amigo, you really need to do some reading about “The Madness of Crowds”. Get a group of scared people together, and there is nothing so depraved that they won’t do it.
Super underrated movie and yeah the ending is heart wrenching.
I remember watching this movie with my mom on HBO when I was in HS for the first time. I was so shocked at the end of the movie.
I thought about the ending for days after watching the movie. I hate sad endings but this movie was and still is amazing to me.
Frank puts a lot of the same people in his movies, he produces the walking dead so they pop up too. There are about 6 actors that appear in other Darabont films. This a very accurate representation of people scared and left to their own fear, we turn on each other. Who are the worst monsters? Us or them. That ending is amazing, what a climax
Dude, take your time and do what you need to do. While I and I'm sure many others really enjoy and look forward to your videos, the fact of the matter is your real life and family responsibilities come first - keep up the great comment. Take care of yourself and keep keeping it Mello - peace.
Was waiting for this one. Wish I could watch it for the first time again. The ending left me feeling legitimately sick to my stomach thinking about how I might do the same in his situation. The soundtrack and lack thereof elevates the movie so much. So glad you checked this one out.
The man stuck in the spiderwebs with spiders inside of him was the scariest scene i've seen.
Another comment after watching - this movie is the Gut punch movie. It's actually on record by Stephen King saying he wishes he thought of the ending they did in the movie because the story ends differently. As you can also tell, Frank Darabont cast the walking dead with many of the actors here. This is one of my favorite horror movies because it gives you an overwhelming sense of horror, not only from the monsters outside, but the monsters within.
In the beginning he's painting the gunslinger, Steven Kings best series.
This is by far one of the best horror, sci fi, thriller film ive ever seen. It was sad and painful but the message at the end to never lose hope will stick with me for a lifetime
The speed with which they turned to full on righteousness and ritual killing, that I found truly scary.
The mist is so good! Rip Ollie
"Why would you leave an 8-year-old to watch another baby?"
20 years ago, it wasn't that uncommon to leave an older kid to watch a younger one, when you're only popping over to the shops for a few minutes. Nowadays, people don't do that as much. But back then, practically everyone was doing it.
Are we calling 2007 20 years ago?
I remember being a teen and watching this for the first time, it made me feel full of anger and sadness at the end.
Like, other movies made me understand the feelings of the characters (their pain, happines, etc.), I acknowledge what was going on, and knew why they felt that way.
But this one Made me Feel, made me feel so much. I didn't want to understand anything, I wanted to explode, let this emotions have some resolution, scream, cry, anything that could make things better. Any story that makes you feel that way is art.
"Is that dude related to Frank Darabont?" I think you're talking about William Sadler, amazing actor. He's Death in Bill&Ted, the bad guy in Die Hard 2, and my favorite of his roles is in Tales from the Crypt:Demon Knight, which is TOTALLY a movie you should do this week for Halloween.
The Mist is definitely a favorite King movie & book of mine. Also Carrie, Christine & It (remake, chapter 1).
Don't forget maximum overdrive lol jk.
I had the good fortune to find an original hardback copy of Dark Forces - where The Mist was originally published - for sale at my local thrift store.
@@StarShipGray awesome. Couple years ago I ended up snagging a 1st edition copy of Pet Sematary. Love coming across finds like that
Erm MISERY!???
@@piperuk5366 haven't read Misery yet but did enjoy the movie
Just because you're the Main Character does not mean your decision is always right
This movie was filmed in my old home town. That ending crushed me when I first saw it. If he had just waited like 5 more mins, they would have made it.
"If they would've just held on 10 more minutes". Basically the moral of that one. Unforgettable ending.
I love this movie so freaking much. One of the very rare occasions when the movie actually is better than the book.
Darabont is such a talented director and writer, capable of covering all genres. From "Nightmare on Elm Street" to "Shawshank Redemption", the guy has such a legendary portfolio. Back when I first heard he'd be in charge of "The Walking Dead", I was stoked. Then when AMC treated him like shit, I lost all hope for the future of the show. And yes, his ending for "The Mist" is so amazing; not many directors and writers are willing to end on such a depressing note.
It's good that Darabont got his millions from AMC eventually. Now he can return to making masterpieces.
@@FrancoisDressler Most definitely.
That poor kid from the military, it didn’t matter what he said, they wanted a sacrifice and his uniform put the bullseye on him. Poor kid.
I can't remember what they did in the movie, but in the book, they barricaded the windows and doors with pallets of dog food. It made sense because they're heavy and they didn't need it. A grocery store is just about the perfect place to hold up during an apocalyptic crisis because they have everything you need there. Food, water, soap, even grills to cook the meat. For the generator, they could have unhooked the exhaust from the wall and attached a hose to run under the door to keep the coolers running until they ate all the food in them, then start on the canned goods.
Bruh I think this is one of your best and honest reactions. The way your feeling goes up and down.
Stephen King knows how to write a good story, a good horror. But the man knows humanity, and I believe that is why he makes such darn good characters!
Yes the monsters are terrifying in this movie, but the people... that was just pure monstrosity.
I was like 16 when this came out so a lot of stuff from 2005-09 has a soft spot in my heart as those were my teen years ya know but this movie is still so dam good :)
The true monsters are always the humans. As the joker says "When the chips are down, these civilized people, they’ll eat each other!"
Hi Mell🖐Just had to let you know this is one of the most honest and captivating movie reactions from anyone ever. You're never less than completely open and honest with your reactions but this was next level, my friend ☮❤
Forget experiencing that, just watching that and getting to the end breaks you as evident by you starting to cry. I only ever saw the ending of this movie by accident and the depth of the end (depth may not be the best word) kind of just hurts. Its a fictional story but the injustice of the ending.... let me stop before I start crying , thankyou for the reaction sir
the thing i like about this and 1408 specifically of SK's work (an movie adaptations of) is the way that they both reflect human conciousness in an enclosed space where social norms, rules and/or expectations no longer exist. In 1408 we see Robert and his own mind in an enclosed environment, and how the single mind can unravel under extreme stress or duress, forced into fight or flight in deadly circumstanes, whereas here we see how the human mind en masse can be unravelled under similar super/preternatural situations also in an enclosed, heightened space, an also under the same threat of "survive or face the hellish deadly unknown"
Some people hate on this movie, but it's still one of the best survival/horror movies I've ever seen. That ending is one of the hardest watches ever. The suspense, fear, and dread is effective as all hell. Love it.
To me this is the definition of a perfect movie!!! And every great movie has a great ending.. and to me the meaning of great is.. surprised/shock and awe..
"I'm just trying to make myself feel good bro" that's all any of us can do with this movie... and we all fail in the end.
That ending will haunt you for the rest of your life. I'm an accredited Film Historian so people tend to ask me what to watch for Halloween and The Mist is always on the list. I once had a girl I play WoW over who fancied herself a Horror lover so I showed her The Mist and could see it really got to her so months later around Halloween someone on voic'e chat asked for a recommendation and when I said 'The Mist' I could hear in her voice that she went right back to that mental state of just having seen it... Just proves how powerful it really is if after months it still does that to you. When asked if he was mad that they changed the ending of his story, Stephen King replied the only thing he was mad about was not having written it like that himself.
That ending is one of my favorite movie endings just because of how impactful it is. I knew it would get to you after seeing you watch the other parts of the movie.
Frank Darabont + Stephen King .... A+
Aldo, Marcia Gay Harden was great in this movie ...
This movie and The Road broke me. Loved em but can never re-watch em.
Stephen King actually watched this and said he wished he had thought to write the ending in this movie. He loved it so much..😳 I'm still not over the ending...😳😳
I LOVE the fact that you new it was Samuel Witwer right away! The OG star killer and voice of Darth Maul. Finally someone mentions him in a reaction video! Great job man
25:21 was my absolute favorite part or your reaction. 😂😂 exactly how I felt to those people💀💀😂
The end bothers me so much... 😔 I saw it years ago and cried my eyes out too at that part.
Love that you showed more of the beginning scenes where they weren’t believing. Had the same reaction, “what is you talkin bout??”
For Stephen King books, the most scary in a disturbing and heartbreaking way is definitely Pet Semetary.
One of the worst/greatest endings to a movie I've ever seen. Lol I remember standing up and putting my hands on my head in shock when I first saw it years ago
I don't remember who said it, but there was an interview with one of the production staff of this film and he said that one thing about this movie that a lot of people overlook is the fact that despite her being completely unlikeable Mrs. Carmody was right about sacrifice. She may not have known how or why she was right, but everything she says about sacrifice is proven over and over again throughout the film. The tentacle monster goes away after it takes that first guy, the bugs stop attacking after one stings that girl and had the pterodactyl not been on fire they all would've left after they took that one guy's neck, the pharmacy doesn't count because they went into the spider's place so the rules were different, but after the monster took Ollie they were able to leave, but the point is ultimately proven when Mrs. Carmody says "We'll take the boy and the whore too" referring to the blonde lady and then later after they were all killed (aka sacrificed) what happened? The military showed up and the mist went away. The final scene exampled the forms of acceptable ancient sacrifice offerings, the old people represented the non-threatening and wise, the blonde lady represented the caregiver, and the little boy represented purity and innocence. This is by far my favorite Stephen King movie because there's so much to unpack with it like for example the whole movie being a metaphor of going through seasons of hardship in your life where patience and hope and faith that you'll get through it will get you through anything which is exampled in the short haired lady's actions in the film as she made it to the end and assumingly the people back at the store as well. However, for those who refused to be patience, hold onto hope, and had no faith that everything would clear up, what happened? They ended up with a fate that equaled death or something worse than death in Thomas Jane's character. There's so much to unpack with this movie it's insane. I'm so happy you reacted to this, this is by far my favorite reaction of yours, your roast skills are on point. Lol
Your reaction broke my heart. Wish I could give you a hug. Your reaction at the end actually made me cry. *hugs*
So glad I saw this in theaters when it came out, it was such a fun experience. This is one that made the crowd go nuts, from screaming from fear to joy like when they kill Mrs. Carmody
As devastating as the ending was, the sacrifice of the solider upset me more than anything. Otherwise, I love watching you crack yourself up and being startled at the jump scares.
I legit was speechless during that scene. Like just why??
This movie left me in disbelief, but it also shows you the mindset of scared and desperate humans that are under distress. A cult mindset, of those that are easily influenced of finding a leader through chaos by all means necessary. The ending was a great result of all of this, sprinkled with a taste of impatience and losing hope. But that bbq chicken joke as a Black woman did leave me cracking up with the subtle pun, whether folks see it or not. 😩😂
And I mean, the whole revelations and creatures of hell talk is a lot more plausible when you're cornered by a bunch of otherworldly monsters
Toby Jones did one of his most badass and amazing roles, from grocery worker to mist being slayer,
Rip Ali, his sacrifice was in vain but never forgotten
Fun fact: Stephen King liked the ending way better than his own book
Always loved that. The ending is impactful for the viewers and realistic. Not every story can end happy
@@Megan-ir3ze But a good message to never give up, cuz hope could be just around the corner.
