it's not the mist without the monsters
My friends and I have found that the best way to describe shows like this are to say, “They are concentrating on the things that we don’t care about.”
The "oh my god. Oh my gosh look at that" is KILLING ME LMAO
"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, look at that." lmao, that made me laugh so much. Damn, is it really that bad so far? There's no beating the movie tbh.
haha in my opinion, yes it is that bad so far. especially if you're expecting something like the movie (which I was)
Oh dear lol well I think I'm gonna hold off this one for now (I fucking love the movie). Look forward to seeing ur final thoughts on it and whether or not it improved.
could tell it wasnt good from the trailer too much drama
what the original did good was it sold itself as a cheap monster movie but deliverd a lot more
the show seems to be reversed trying to show right away that the people are the monsters mises the point when somthing is served at you , you think less of it , the original is perfect cause you can say in the end i may have done the same its a realistic senario
thank you for waching this and some of us dont and dont waist our time XD
DissidentRebel it's a reimagining, not part of the most universe. Just wanted to point that out as you said that it was marketed as a part of the universe. It wasn't.
The movie is unbeatable tho.
I hate this in zombie shows. I just wanna see silly monster apocalypse and they ALWAYS go the "man is the real monster" route:
45 minutes in, Bubba wants to be the new emperor of post apocalyptica.
"Mist: We Want to Use the Name But Don't Want to Put Up the Money" the TV Series
Eyeshadow + Hair Color = AMAZING
Charlene Damico dont forget the color of her lips
Charlene Damico I have to admit it looks really good
Charlene Damico and her gorgeous blue eyes! fabulous!
comment + nothing to do with the subject matter = noise.
It's obviously a cop out, it's proven in the very first scene. The mist appears and the first thing that happens is a dog gets shredded, there were no other people and I doubt a magic chipmunk got instantly transformed nor did some LOTR Ent wig out and go apeshit on the pupper. There are monsters, they either want to built up to it to justify their CGI Budget and keep it down, or they use it as some big "WATCH THE SEASON FINALE...right before they decide to cancel" with some monster reveal and no pay off.
You sure predicted the so obvious cop out.
Thing that annoys me: look at all the great horror shows we've seen canned (Penny dreadful, Hannibal, etc) and we get this crap instead.
it's so boring to watch.. I catch myself on pressing FF in every episode aired
SpikeTV can't afford CGI monsters and they won't do practical, so we are stuck with CGI cockroaches
I'm glad I don't have the channel?
Joe
Do you know how small the movie budget was?
You don't even need to show the monsters that much, the audience just has to know they're out there.
I get that but I mean, killer cockroaches?...seriously?
Joe
Oh no, I was agreeing with you. meant to reply to someone else.
The movie had an incredibly small budget by CHOICE and it was able to do some impressive shit as well.
Now I understand, a movie with a small budget is still like two high budget TV shows these days. However, you could still replicate what the movie did via practical effects when necessary, minimal CGI, and silhouettes in the mist. You don't need to show the monsters all the time. As long as the audience knows they're out there that'll be fine. You could do a lot with noise as well. Say, giant mist monster is walking by the mall. You could do a lot by just having the mall shake after each triumph foot step, and end the scene with the survivors seeing the silhouette of an incredibly large creature's leg in the mist, similar to the Behemoth's depiction in the book.
Oh yeah, I totally agree with the whole less is more type of deal. I just wish they were smarter about it in their story-telling as well. But maybe, just maybe later in the season they change it up.
I hate the new Mist show.
well i have a theory if you want to hear it; i think there are monsters but we don't know much of the other wild life of the insects i remember roland in the dark tower series told the kid he was training "there is a dimension i went to that was shrouded in mist, never go there kid because if the insects don't kill you? whats hiding in the mist will" plus we heard a demonic gutteral growl when the soldier woke up and his dog ripped apart by something that wasn't insects
I like that idea but, a lot of the creatures in the mist were insects - scorpion fly, gray widower, etc. I also don't remember that line, can you tell me which book it's in (probably the gunslinger, but again, I Don't remember)
Samuel Swigart I think you're referring to the Stephen King novel series titled "The Dark Tower" because it has a character who's a gunslinger. The novel is also(for me) a good book to read.
And just like 100% of 'fan theories' I have no doubt this is just a waste of my time reading it. And sure enough - I was right. :(
OsamuWu42 The mist in the tv series showed your worst fears.
Lovely Theory it's far simpler THEY DON"T HAVE MONAYYYY
They can't afford to do crazy shit due to budget reasons.
I had my doubts looking at the previews. I see my suspicions are justified. I'll be skipping this series. Thanks.
Go ahead and give us an update. I'd like to know if it gets better.
*So because they decide not to show tons of monsters and shit in the first 3 episodes it's a bad show? They're not showing monsters to try to prolong the show as much as possible to make sure the shit lasts. If they just show monster after monster every single episode they won't be able to keep the shit goin.*
@@stepdad1241 They didn't show ANY monsters in the entirety of the series.
So yes - it is a bad show. And will always be.
Honestly I'm also quite disappointed in the series so far, it's not what I had expected at all.
taking a H.P LOVECRAFTIAN story turning into a psychological thriller kinda blows. the mist is suppose to be a vast emptiness that humankind cannot comprehend.
What drives me crazy is when people do stupid things that no one would do in real life. Ex: Eve and the soldier have to go get the radio but they didn’t weapon up? They get the radio and then they don’t try to run back to safety?
Thanks for saving me from wasting my time on this show, I am here FOR THE MONSTERS so that’s the only thing that had me interested in the first place
This was by far the worst adaptation I've watched. I really struggled to stay focused as there was NOTHING similar to the book / film. The film and the book were almost sisters, the film was so well done. The Mist had nothing reminiscent of the same universe, you're so right.
I'm glad I went with my gut reaction and stayed away from this show. I never thought it would ever come close to the film, but I would have given it a chance, but I started noticing where they were planning to go with the story from the trailers and I thought to myself "holy shit, they're going to cheap out on this whole thing and just make it another man is the worst monster of all thing" and sounds like I was spot on.
It's annoying because, as you said, the Mist is about a tear in the fabric of reality and the Lovecraftian horrors laying in wait. The "man is the worst monster of all" trope has been done so many times, I'm actually more surprised when I see a story where people actually band together and help one another when the power goes out.
Just watch Twin Peaks- it is far more rewarding and getting better with each episode.
They need to add the Monster in the show before it become dead , the Movie was Great form what they did with add all the Random Monster , but this Show is really bad so far..
Hope they hurry up and add the Monster .
I've gotta agree. The entire point of the Mist was the damn monsters, not ghosts and fucking bugs. At the current rate of the show, I'd be shocked if it makes it to a season 2.
At least, the 2007 movie adaption had monsters. Not to mention, having much freakier moments.
I want to continue watching the Mist for only 1 reason: to see if its going from bad to worse to total crap. If the focus is supposed to be about human behaviour during crisis it needs to be believable to hold an audience's interedt. The producers writer and director have dropped the ball by not allowing the director and actors to flesh out realistic flexible characters. All were getting are stiff performances from an onfocused production. Bob & Harvey Weinstein produced the original the Mist and now this? They're following the Walking/Fear the Dead model clearly by stretching the story! LAZY!!!
no monsters?
well I'm done watching it now
It's like if they made IT... without Pennywise. I get that they might want to try something new, but it doesn't make any sense that they'd use a Stephen King novel's name without touching on its central features.
Two things :
1) you look SOOOOO good with your hair parted to the side like that, I love it !!
2) I live for your rant videos like they are so interesting and I completely agree with you on this because the most is my favorite movie and I watched the first episode and was completely uninterested because I felt like it didn't represent the movie I love so much
Completely agree with your boyfriend. I did not sign up for a "fear the walking dead"
No wonder I was like what??????. That’s one lazy moving mist. And then, no monsters!!!!!!????. And also the old lady not reacting to the husbands death. I was like this is a fucking joke.
Screw this show. I'd rather just go back and watch the movie again.
I HAVE NEVER HATED A SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH !!! HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT !!!! There I feel a little better now !
great points, and i totally agree with you that the characters often have kinda unrealistic reactions to major things. Also, it really sucks if there aren't monsters in the series, since i've always thought the mist was a way to conceal the bigger monsters so you dont know when they're coming, but if its only bugs, they practically don't even need the mist at all.
I have always despised horror and scifi where they do the whole "the real monster is us" shtick. Firstly, I feel cheated because my motivation to watch these shows is to see and be creeped out by actual monsters. Secondly, you can have real monsters and still do a "the real monster is us" story among the human characters.
What makes The Mist so awesome is not because there are monsters nor because it has mist. But it is because there are Mist AND Monsters. It makes you wondering what's out there... What kind of creatures out there... that we couldn't even see through the mist.
Every single point you made is exactly the same that I had. very disappointed with the show.
100% agree about it not deserving the title. I just think I'll treat it as a whole new thing and mist based story. I'm kind of leaning towards a Lost spin-off since both shows had Mister Misty monster apparition thing that also was lethal in the mist.
yeah I like that, this is secretly a Lost Sequel series.
I've only watch the first two episodes, but I have one major question: Where is the forth arrow head member in the mall? He just vanished.
The fact that they haven't shown mist-monsters actually surprised me, because the usual formula for scifi movie-to-tv shows is to do the big reveal, whatever was the big draw for the movie(monsters in this case), in the *first episode*, briefly, to HOOK the viewer, and then show it only rarely again throughout the series, because budgets and stuff. OR, they'll somehow write into the storyline that the monsters/aliens/whatever are possessing humans, or adapting/evolving and mimicking humans, and just use creepy blank-faced emotionless people in lieu of actual monsterage, to also save on FX budget.
The problem is that they removed most of what made The Mist what it was: nightmarish monsters designed to slaughter and eviscerate hailing from interdimensional space
I am also disappointed. No alien ecology. People's fear manifests and kills them. Someone got Shamylan's "The Happening" all over an awesome Stephen King story.
IT does that too, only better...
If this show never shows the behemoth then that will just prove how little this represents and understands the novella.
Not a single Scorpion-fly in it....
If they don't have a single grey widower by the finale imma go slap the dudes who make it
I feel the exact same way. Where were the monsters!?! I didn't like the show for that reason.
Spoiler alert, I've seen the whole season. No monsters, just bugs and slugs and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (not kidding), all in a show that will bore the ever living FUCK out of you!
the mist knows what you fear the most..... and thats it ,theres ghost and supernatural shit, no interdimensional beings here
4 years later and this show still disappoints me. I mean the movie basically established everyone's expectations and the writers of this show just completely ignored that.
Ew bugs. Blech. What a travesty.
I’m sorry but if a thick mist rolled in and people were dying I wouldn’t think it’s no warfare I’d hide my ass in a bunker because I’d know there were monsters out there!
Very interesting discussion . I'm going to wait it out and see what happens . Love your hair by the way!
I agree with everything you said, but I'm enjoying the show anyway. Its definitely not as good as it could have been, but its entertaining and interesting. Hopefully its just getting started with the bugs, and it will work its way up to something bigger as the show continues.
Dervis128 The show was just about OK. I agree, it should have been called something else.
The main problem I had was with Mrs. Cormody's death. The jaw missing and being pulled back by some creature, it gave false hope for an awesome creature series which it was not.
I don't mind when a TV show does something different than a movie or book it has been adapted from and maybe they just didn't have the budget to do all those monsters. Sounds like the acting or directing could have been better though.
The 2007 movie was made out of less budget than the TV-show. So it's not an excuse.
The TV show at this point has no Monsters like the movie. The only monster so far is something made out of smoke and normal looking bugs.
I guess my biggest problem with this show is that it didn't seem like the showrunners read the book or watched the movie, I dare to say Stephen King may have not actually even watched it. It feels like they were like "oh mist, great yeah....like Silent Hill, right?" And they just went with that concept, for me it felt like that, like a Silent Hill wanna be project. And all the Lovecraftian horror was turned into a washed down psychological horror. I was really mad at that fact, and even think that was their original idea but couldn't get the rights to adapt Silent Hill
Honestly this show just got worse and worse every episode. The plot "twist" where it turns out that Adrian was the bad rapist and his homophobic dad was completely right to hate him and belittle him for wearing makeup and being queer because he was evil was both totally predictable and utterly out of nowhere. That plot point elevated this from just a bad show to being truly despicable, in my eyes.
I made it as far as 75% through the first episode, and that was it for me. This show is a HUGE disappointment.
Thank god someone brought this up. I thought maybe they would mix the Movie The Mist with the movie The Thing. You could have human vs human tension and people going at each other and not trusting each other, that would be from The Thing. Then in the background you could show hints of monsters and have strange things happen and it gets more and more out of hand over time. By the end it could be so over run that the only chance they have is to go into The Mist because the shit hit the fan so hard. How cool would it be to end the season by a group of survivors running out into the mist because the mall is filled with monsters slaughtering people. I just think they aren't doing it right, idk. My idea any good? Maybe someone else could think of a better way to do The Mist.
Adrian's dad mentions birds that killed his wife so possibly there are bigger creatures in the mist that haven't showed up yet. My theory is since they are so close to arrow head which the mist could be coming from and the mist has only been around for about 5-6 days from the start of season 1 to the end that they didn't show up yet and only smaller creatures (bugs, leeches ext.) are the only thing that came through the mist yet. Who knows i'm hoping there will be monster in season 2 just as much as everyone else.
first World War Z and now The Mist. I'm scared to death about the Dark Tower movie. Hopefully "It" will come through.
One thing I would not about the Mist generally, is that the real "monsters" are humans in fact. I've read the novella, watched the movie a half dozen times, and made it to episode 4 (maybe) of the series. But yes, the lack of non-human monsters was lame.
If that is honestly what the show is going to be they are going to fucking fail so hard.
There has to monsters, they're building up the characters so when u see a fucking giant lobster and it kills 3 characters you'll actually care about what happened. The one bitch got her jaw ripped off and pulled away bruh, that's a big ass monster if u ask me.
Pedo Justice how long did it take to see the first monster in the movie?
Pedo Justice There will be no monsters from other dimensions, is more like nature taking revage from humanity, there also alittle bit supernatural things and i hate it.
Aaron Antonio Sainz Bonilla Thats not the point. It's supposed to be based off the book and the book has TONS of monsters.
Tony the Baloney i know.
*The movie had monsters so quickly cause it was a 2 hour or so movie whereas this show is tryna last several seasons. They can't just blow their fuckin load first couple episodes and give you everything you want cause then they won't have anything new in the later seasons. You guys seriously gotta stop hating on everything for no reason. They're playin in smart and considering the small budget, they've done everything right so far. You guys legit are pissin me off though talkin out of yo ass.*
Dude I warned people they were going to do this. They said multiple times the Mist MOVIE is a different thing....... That should've sent up red flag right there.
The Mist; kinda like Silent Hill, but not really: the tv series
THIS SHOW IS HELL TO ME BECAUSE I HATE BUGS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SLEEP ANYMORE.
So far no monsters? I'm starting to think that the mist doesn't contain beasts from another dimension but rather it comes here from another dimension and possesses terrestrial entities and that's the threat.
I like the show up until the point when the Mist shows up, which is a little weird for a show called "The Mist". It has a really good set up but then drags its feet when introducing the actual monster.
This series sucks and I can't believe how bad it is. I hope the end is just a big gaping crater with all the towns people gone and then the studio executives come on screen and apologize to the audience for releasing this garbage.
I love your horror videos, I wish I could watch this in the uk :(
Rebecca Gibson Not worth so far.
Omg your hair is getting long. Love you.
I think why there are no monsters is because of the budget and how expensive CGI can be
The 2007 movie was made out of less budget than the TV series, so it's not an excuse.
I really liked the show I want a season 2 I don’t get why people hated it I loved it lol
And then we never got a full review on this did we?
I felt "The Mist" could be as amazing as "The Walk Dead", but they kind of killed the strong show
Totally agree. Where's all the tentacles?
I believe we will see a monster by the end of the season. The black mist one doesn't count since it showed up for less than 3 minutes and it will most likely show back up. The build up of characters is nice but I can't get invested in any of them besides Alex's dad. I would like to see the spider creatures by the end of the season or the moth/scorpion combo from the movie.
The Mist TV series was nothing more than a lousy, crappy, cheap attempt to cash on in the 2007 movie's success, and Stephen King's novel. They took out all monsters, added a lot of bullshit about "peoplez r da real monsturz", stole John Carpenter's Fog ideas, and vomitted on it. No wonder it received so negative reception. Thankfully Season Two was cancelled. Thankfully...!!!!
I just watched this series as I love the story and Darabont’s movie. It had some good horror moments and character moments but disappointed me overall. I hated what they did with the mist and the characters acted really weird and unrealistically at times. The mist here is more like “it” in the sense it can do just about anything and mess with the characters’ heads. Why all the roaches and leeches if it could produce any deadly hallucination it wanted? It made no sense and the movie tried to go too deep with the “black spring” christianity vs. paganism conflict (though the scene where the priest and the old woman walk out into the mist is one of the show’s better moments). I was perking up at the end with Jonah’s story but the show was cancelled so it ends on this promise of finally getting some answers about Arrowhead, the origin of the mist and about Jonah, who was one of the more likable and compelling characters!
I actually do like the show, but...wait. So it's been confirmed we won't see any monsters whatsoever? I just kinda assumed that we were leading up to the monsters and just starting off with the bugs.
I gave up after the 5th episode. I'm done.
Notification squad showing love 💘
yeeee thank you!
It had the life Draining Smoke Monster and those Undead Warrior Horsemen and I do think that both of them had pretty cool designs but other than that it's just Bugs so yeah it really let down in the creative Monster department which really bugs me since people on Crypt TV a literal You Tube channel can make great looking Practical Monsters.
My theory; it is not the Mist tv show, it is IT the tv show. That makes it watchable for me. For example, the four horsemen and the darkness monster are clearly based on the fears of the victims. Plus, the whole host of dead people that show up. The Mist never had that, but IT did; the being usually appearing as Pennywise also made use of the forms of the dead to torment the victim's, and used fear against them.
Another example; the leeches and moth. IT already used flying leeches to kill one boy, and it is too much to ask that I believe a swarm of 'natural' leeches would lurk in a hospital corridor just waiting for a guy to fall off the gurney. And a moth infesting a man and then spewing hundreds of other moths, while bursting out of his back? No, that is a supernatural monster getting its kicks.
Why would it form a mist, if that is the case? Good question. I believe that Arrowhead have either opened the macroverse (IT's home dimension), allowing a similar, if not the same kind, of being to enter the world. Or, they discovered one of the spawn from Derry's pregnant monster (mentioned when they found it as a spider creature in the sewers) and this offspring is operating in a different manner to the parent.
Just my thoughts, but as a huge fan of both the Mist and It, I could not help but hate how little this had in common with the novella, but as a sequel/follow up to the child eating clown, it makes me feel better.
They accepted the military guy’s story pretty quickly! Turns out he did know more than he was revealing...
Never been to a mall with shopping carts.
I get why people like it, I really do, but the ending of the movie adaptation almost effed up the novella for me. I just loved the novella, so that ending almost killed me to the point of no longer being able to read it again... a little extreme, but that's how I feel... 😑
Now, about the series, I thought it was way overrated and nothing like The Mist... 😣
If you want a good "monster" movie I would like to suggest the movie "The Void". It's on Netflix right now. It has a very Lovecraftian feel to it that I think you will enjoy.
The Void is a total shit without a plot.
It suck
I watched it 2 years later got 3 episodes in as well, and my reaction is the exact same as yours good to know the bug cope out theory is shared.
I watched two episodes of this last night, then decided to watch The Office reruns instead.
I don't even watch this channel because I can't take horror but I swear I come back and watch the videos anyway :( guitly pleasure
Completely with you. How about that 10 min* drunken chat about the old woman's husband in eps 2? lol
*Maybe an exaggeration :P
well, the new episode had a monster. wasn't what I was expecting or hoping for. we're only 4 episodes in though. if they blow their monster load on episode 2 they'll run out of materials.
I am so disappointed in this tv series. I am with you with the annoyance of the TV runners claiming that it is similar to the novella and movie. I am also not really feeling some of the acting. They should of just made it a stand alone TV show with another name lol
guys say what you want but the mist has only ben in town for less than 24 hours it could be just the first group of monsters and also could a bug take a dog and impale it on a tree? that was the first episode
I love all of the monster designs from the movie. ALL of them... The show is just a letdown in that regard. Thanks for making this.
I'm guessing no one has ever heard of "building up to the main threat". They'er not going to show the main freaking threat, aka the monsters in the third episode. That would be utterly stupid. They need these few episodes to build up the main characters so we will actually feel something when they die. Otherwise, every death would be completely pointless. Lean what plot is, and then come back when you're done.
The movie at least are a lot about how the people are mosters as well and how it shows in a crisis situation. But without the monsters there is no tangible and grounded threat. And also: I want effing monsters. Other than that I totally agree with you. And what about the mist-ghosts!? By doing that you take out the human element of the insanity by saying it's supernatural or the mist is making people crazy instead of pressure. If I wanted ghosts I would see the fog. It's like if they said that xenomorphs are also posessed by the devil.
Bo Anton Carlsson its weird because the mist isn't really supernatural, and it isnt scarecrow's fear toxin, it's just mist. and the monsters aren't genetic mutations or demons, they are just animals. the TV show is completely missing the point of the novella.
It's sad. Writers and director are more worried about making a political statement than their TV show. Wtf is happening to us?
I would be frustrated as well. The name attached to the project gives it such weight that they can't just reinvent the themes. Call it something else, why not. Or is it like a parallel mist, like there are different mists with different concepts... ugh nah too convoluted.
YES EVERYONE IS TOO TONED DOWN!!! IT PISSES ME OFF!!. Also these peoples concerned with trivial things mean while some crazy shyt is going on.
Sarah you probably don't know this after season one of the mist ended there hasn't been an announcement for a season 2 that's how bad the show is
unpopular opinion: I didn't hate the Mist T.V Show. I kinda liked it. Don't come for me I tend to like "bad" shows that end up getting cancelled. lol
Apparently, the humans are suppose to be the "monsters".EK literally said it in the same way.
