I finished reading the Mist then talked to someone who saw the movie. We had very different opinions! The ending my friend saw was very different from the one I read. However, I think the books are always better than the movies. Just an opinion.

I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to my neck, so really, don't hate yourself, please. BUT - do go and buy another one. don't give up on the book. You ARE meant to read it and you're going to love it, I'm sure. I did.
I didn't even like The Mist the first time I read it. Then got the film out on DVD as Darabont is THE MAN. Loved the interpretation of the film. Although there are no eal changes in the film I thought it captured the atmosphere of locked in a supermarket with scary things out side so well I had to re read the story. Guess what? Loved it, too.
The movie was frankly pretty amazing. I haven't been moved so much by a scene in a film (you know the scene I'm talking about) since ....I want to say probably when I first saw the Great Escape and they're bringing the prisoners "back to the camp" and pull over and they're talking and then you hear the guns being locked into place...
I think in the movie they had to have some sort of ending. In the story I think it was sort of an open ending.
