This was a nice movie.
I thought it was awful… felt like a midday TV movie with a bigger budget… at no point was I scared, it is way too obvious, e.g. tentacles under the door, flying things attracted to the light, an insane religious bitch… the ending was just fucking stupid. I’m gonna give Stephen King the benefit of the doubt and assume that it’s a case of book > movie.
You’d be wrong to assume that.
the best part was when they give up hope and he shoots his son, just for the mist to clear two minutes later. made me lowl
I thought it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t about the monsters on the outside but the monsters on the inside. The people. The insane religious bitch is one of the things that made me enjoy this so much. It doesn’t need actually scary creatures to be scary, that one lady was enough to have me on the edge of my seat. Group mentality like this is probably the second scariest thing after zombies to me, at least as far as fiction goes.
What was that other film called, it was about an alien invasion and this father and his children were one of the only ones that had a car that worked so when they ended up in a big crowd of people they brutally shoved them out of the car and stole it from them. That was incredibly scary too because you know this would be very likely to happen in real life as well.
So yeah I think they call this character study right, from that point of view The Mist is fantastic. The ending seemed to make a lot of people very angry which I don’t understand. They didn’t help the mother so she left on her own and in the end her children were the ones that did survive, what could be more meaningful than that. Would you rather have everyone survive, high five each other – the end?
It seems to me that as long as you didn’t watch this film expecting it to be a proper apocalypse where everyone died because of evil fictional creatures, you probably enjoyed it.
Oh and my comment contains SPOILERS. I’m sorry.
Spoilers here too:
The kids DO die at the end.
And the movie with the care is “Aliens with sniffles”.
War of the Worlds.
Huh. But that’s not what happened in the film is it. Are you talking about the book? I haven’t read it.
Oh yeah right, aliens with sniffles, now I remember. That shit was good, as was the goo that covered everything.
FUCKING SPOILER:
He shoots his kid at the end of the movie. It IS what happens in the movie and not the original story.
MOAR SPOILERS
Where did I say that his kid survived? I was talking about the mom.
If you look at it like a character piece, it’s still mediocre IMO. It comes under the middle class American kind of character piece… the brave strong ‘voice of reason’ dad, the whiny kid without a mum, the intelligent but skeptical token black guy, the dumb hicks, the religious freak who deludes everyone… there was nothing unique or memorable about it… then there are the little things that really pissed me off about it, how religious bitch went on and on and on well after the point was established, the little dude who just happens to be a professional shooter (and miraculously the chick who keeps a gun in her purse)… everything was made so obvious, like the way they write shows like Heroes…
The ending pisses me off because it was so poorly executed (pardon the pun) the basis of the film is around at least the dad and the kid getting out alive. I’m all for sad endings, but it makes the film null and void, without adding to the plot or characters, or really completing the story. You can say it’s “tragedy” but it really doesn’t add to the film at all. You’ll laugh at my example, but Hamlet… the entire play builds up towards everyone dying, where all their actions contribute to it… and it all falls into place before they do, and the “tregedy” is fully realised… In this film, everyone just dies suddenly at the end. It’s lame.
I really liked the Dark Tower reference in the very beginning of the movie…but that was about it
My favorite Stephen King story. Kept me up all night when I was younger. Good times.
Stephen King himself has stated that he liked the movie ending so much that if he had thought up that particular ending while he was writing the story, then he would have used it.
Well thank you, not only does it sound like a fucking boring movie it’s also a pointless one.
I totally loved this movie. The most awesome part is the sequence before the end where they drive through the desolate landscapes and where the HUGE MOTHERFUCKING CTHULHU MONSTER walks over the road. I have watched that part probably a hundred times. Size does awesome make.
…and I wanted to say that the “Hosts of the Seraphim” song fits like hell into those scenes. And I also wanted to say that the book is much, much worse.
