This Movie

i thought this movie was a great book-to-film. I read the novella, and thought that this movie surpassed the dark errie feel of the book. I have to admit i'm a huge sci-fi fan but this was great because it's not a monster movie, it is a survival film about people who begin to doubt each other and lose their humanity because to be human is to help each other in a time of need

Easily the most disturbing, unexpected ending of any movie I have ever seen. I'm not understanding why some people are saying the ending "sucked."That ending was sheer brilliance. It left me shaking and unable to put in to words how I felt. It makes you THINK. Not every story has a happy ending with every single question answered and if you are looking for that, then perhaps Stephen King is not the author for you.

Someone said the movie ending wasn't a Stephen King ending. That person is correct. It is not a Stephen King ending. It is a Richard Bachman ending. Very dark. Downbeat. Absolutely chilling. Psychologically cruel. In fact, King said the movie improved on the novella's ending.

****************SPOILER************************ What a cruel ending, four people but only three bullets for escape eating alive by the creatures. And then, poor David must realize that he should have waited only a few minutes. Horrible, I felt his pain when I saw the movie for the first time. I cried.

I enjoyed this one. It was quite gripping. I dont really read the Novels, but this one touched me and i really did feel for David, I was crying! and the creature designs were very unique and well done, I have never liked spiders and wasps, and by Titus I am more afraid of them than ever now! I'd love to know what was on the recieving end of the tenticals that killed Norm?

This should have had a different ending. It was very disturbing that David shot and killed his kid, only to find out a few minutes later that it was over. It was wrong! If they waited in the store for 2-3 days they could have waited in the car for a while longer and then seen that it was over.

Man you know what. This movie was good. I loved it but dude reeeeeeeally pissed me off at the end. I mean I wanted to throw the controller at the T.v. Man, just like King. Thanks!!! But goes to show, that it pays to be patient all through the END!!!

i really liked the movie. i cant wait to read the book :) the part in the movie that gave me the chills was when the butcher stabbed nick (I think its his name) beacuse Mrs Carmody convinced them it was his fault and then they carried him outside. I thought this was a horrible view on how crap humans are but its exactly how we are, HUMANS SUCK!! that was a horrible scene made me sad :(

THis movie was probably best horror in last few year. Perfect. I think it's better than book, especially the ending.

Posted By: Erdosgab - 06/23/2009 - 9:55 AM EST

I do not understand something. I have just finished the book. On the last page David mentioned that he just found out what to do (and also wandered how many fuel in the car might have been) he mentioned two things: Hardford and the hope. What Hardford does refer to?

Posted By: Wilv79 - 06/18/2009 - 5:32 AM EST

I loved the movie, even though personally I am not a fan of the ending. I was most pleased w/ how close to the book it actually was and as I said even though I am not a fan of the ending it was a possible ending suggested in the book so I was able to deal with it.

Posted By: HoopyFrood - 06/12/2009 - 12:51 PM EST

Just finnished watching the film and I absolutely loved it! The ending was perfect, I paticularly loved seeing the woman from the supermarket, drive past in the army truck. For those who didn't like the ending may I suggest a different genre might suit you better. Great work, now I must re-read the story :D

I absolutely loved the movie. I just can't understand why people get WAY too emotional about it. The ending was excellent to me.. abrupt.. cruel.. not fair. Each one of the people that criticize the ending, what would you do if you were in the characters shoes. That's what I asked myself and I would've done the same thing. Also, it was the fault of the American army what occured in the movie? They opened a portal and these creatures invaded us. It is by far one of the best King's movie and that bible lady when she got shot in the head I was jumping with joy.. darn religious psychos.

Posted By: Erika - 05/04/2009 - 2:34 PM EST

I saw this movie when it was in theaters and totally loved it ... until the end, that was a total bummer for me. I love Stephen King all the same!

Posted By: Helen - 04/11/2009 - 8:06 PM EST

It is another work of Mr. King's, that is something thst you do not want to stop reading or watching until the very end. His work is the best. It keeps you right in it's grip. Excellant! I love reading his novels, and have collected almost all of them. Keep up the great work

Posted By: Stephanie - 04/06/2009 - 5:55 PM EST

i really think this movie has somehow inspired me to really think about what i do and how i do it. i mean, take the religious chick for example. she is all about god and sometimes it's not god that causes our destruction. it is our own fault that our luck happens. this kind of horror can only be put together by stephen king. i give it a 5 star rating!

Posted By: Deb47963 - 03/08/2009 - 11:06 PM EST

this movie shows that you can put terror and sadness in the same movie.....and also the ending was totally unexpected....something that only Stephen King is the master at!

Posted By: Stern - 03/01/2009 - 3:39 AM EST

ok. What habitat did these things come from. What's up with arrowhead? How far did the mist get? The military WTF? and why didn't they get the radio out of the mp jeep and call for help? why didn't anyone tell mrs. psycholady bible thumper that in the end days "men shall seek out death and not find it" or something like that. are the creatures immune to our diseases? Did the first group survive? and why didn'te the biker dude scream? when are you gonna make a better video game about this.

Posted By: Steelskin - 02/24/2009 - 10:46 AM EST

One of the best movies I've ever seen. And the ending was so great! Such a shame that the French editor decided to use Pan&Scan for the B&W DVD.

Posted By: Tokidom - 02/24/2009 - 10:09 AM EST

I liked the movie and hated it at the same time. It seems to be no hope for anyone and that's the part I hated. Are the flying creatures from the mist the same creature that comes from the trunk of the buick 8?. Does the mist have somethng to do with the Prim-related-mist?.

Posted By: Anonymous - 02/18/2009 - 3:43 AM EST

I am sorry,I was a huge fan until you did this movie. The ending was very wrong for me. You could have had the movie end a different way.

Posted By: Anonymous - 02/13/2009 - 2:26 PM EST

Marcia Gay Harden is amazing. The story is powerful. Sadly, the CGI creatures are as phony as a seven dollar bill

Posted By: Martin - 02/05/2009 - 7:09 AM EST

The ending to the book really dissapointed me. as i find abrupt endings that give you no information completly pointless. Sure the book was a good eye catcher and i enjoyed it, but the ending was not enjoyable in the slightest, infact i was furious that the Skeleton Crew wasn't just some kind of subtitle, it actually took up more than half of the book leading me to believe that this The Mist would last a while.

Posted By: Copper - 02/01/2009 - 11:34 PM EST

The story was better then the movie by far. The story held you with every page. The ending was wonderful. The ending in the movie was all wrong.

Posted By: A.R. - 01/28/2009 - 7:18 AM EST

Visually stunning and suspensful. Credit to Darabont as much as King for not encouraging Hollywood shlock. A welcome change and a careful walk down the line of horror and thriller. A fine compliment to the book, but can stand on it's own.

Posted By: Anonymous - 01/23/2009 - 11:31 AM EST

This was one of the scariest things I've ever read. Stephen King rocks my socks!!!

Posted By: Anton - 01/16/2009 - 3:36 PM EST

Hi, Stephen King. I think that you should have told Frank Darabont to have the same end, in the movie as in the book. I also think that David (Thomas Jane) should do as in the book whit Amanda Dumfries (Laurie Holden). Have sex in the office.

This was great movie it was awesome becaues I have never seen anything like it. But the best part about this movie is the Slagther I mean the kid got his body torn apart and when the girl got stung assome I love this movie and if you want to see a movie with a lot of supence and asesomeness whatch this.

Posted By: Ela - 01/04/2009 - 12:27 PM EST

I really liked the film of the mist and thought it had one of the strongest endings in a film i have ever seen. Is it true that the ending in the book is different? I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of the book yet,

Posted By: Michele - 01/01/2009 - 1:53 PM EST

The best King movie I've ever seen. The special effects were super creepy. I have never read this particular King work but as mom of a teenage boy, was VERY upset by the ending. Give me creepy, not tragedy. I'm a long time Stephen King fan, and would love to see more movies without endings I read about in the paper on a regular basis.

I really enjoyed this movie, Only thing is didn't care for the ending too much.

Another amazing work by the king of suspense, mystery and horror. This man's writings are amazing. Mr King you are a real master. Your work will remain alive for the mileniums to come. Dimitrie Nash Manchester UK

I thought this film was fantastic, not only was it a great story but there were quite a few well recognised actors/actresses. Although judging from some comments the short story was better. i guess i will have to grab a copy and see for myself.

Posted By: Araya - 11/29/2008 - 10:48 PM EST

I really liked the movie, but never having read the book I guess my opinion doesn't count that much. I really like the fact that if you pay close attention, to the movie poster David is painting in the beginning that it is The Gunslinger - or at least it looked like Roland of Gliead to me. And yes I know Mister King doesn't want to make a movie of The Gunslinger but that really looked to me like a subtle hint of someones making. WOOT MISTER STEPHEN KING! (he rocks)

Very interesting movie, final part, especially, beacause it's a tragic joke to the persons that don't have trust on a good end of every actions and on the future at all. That's the sense of the novel.

Posted By: Squidgy - 11/13/2008 - 6:48 PM EST

It reminded me of "The Stand" at times. It is a classic Stephen King story, a lot of depth and meaning in it.

Posted By: Cat - 11/12/2008 - 1:49 PM EST

Loved the short story when it first came out. One of my favorites. Also, couldn't wait to see the movie which was great until the end. They should have left the ending alone!

Posted By: Jess - 09/07/2008 - 12:20 PM EST

I just got this movie on DVD today. I have been waiting for it to be made into a movie since the first time I read it about 20 years ago. I loved the way the short story ended, but I hated the sex added into it (not Stevenss idea, but his publishers). I hoped the movie would be as good as the short story. And it was till the very end! That was not a Steven King ending; I was so pissed and sickened. Just plan shocked. Leave it to Hollywood to screw up a great story

Posted By: Vipertd1 - 09/03/2008 - 4:22 PM EST

This movie blew me away...how it followed so closely to the book, then disaster. How could Mr. King give the go ahead for that ending?? I do believe that the original book ending was much better.

Posted By: Joanne - 09/01/2008 - 4:25 AM EST

really anoyed with the ending, I think it's sick and not even how the story ended. it completely ruined the film for me, I'll seriously think twice about watching another adaptation from such a great story if it's going to be ruined. It really made me angry and I'm dissapointed it's been relesased and aired as it is. True king fans sthold stay well clear from this film

Posted By: Ajfromuk - 08/24/2008 - 11:55 AM EST

An excellent film adaption of what is a good shorty story. There is a slight difference between the two and the ending of the film is truely a suprice. Also a half decent soundtrack, Dead Can Dance was a good choice.

Posted By: David - 08/08/2008 - 3:17 AM EST

I think the Mist is classic King. Simple story with compelling and true-to-life characters who drive the story to a most unsettling conclusion. the film seems to honor this in many ways. I've never seen a character in a film use a cell phone as a lantern but who hasn't done that in real life? The film scared the crap out of me. I'd love to know what King thinks. I haven't seen any raves on the website so I suspect its not loved. Dolores Claiborne remains my favorite King adaptation.
