My dad and I went to see this in theaters in a full auditorium. Usually there's always those few people that are immediately out of their seats once the credits start but there was a good 15-20 second still silence in the room. Like, you could feel people processing it. Lines leaving was similar to a funeral procession, wasn't much chatting from people, just everyone leaving quietly. Didn't expect such a powerful ending going to a movie about a town swarmed by monsters.

[@annapurna4054]

I feel your pain at that ending, believe me! LOL! It's a real gut punch. This is such an underrated film. It's nice to see more people discovering it. Interesting tidbit: Darabont credits Jeffrey DeMunn for the reappearance of Melissa McBride's character at the end (along with her two children), showing she'd made it back to them and they'd all survived. Originally, she was supposed to disappear into the mist, with her fate left unknown. But McBride's performance in the grocery store scene so impressed the cast and crew that they gave her a standing ovation. Darabont said DeMunn later came to him and said he couldn't stop thinking about her performance and wondering what happened to her character, so he suggested bringing her back at the end. Also, when they were casting the role of Carol in TWD, they called and offered it to her without requiring an audition, due to her performance in The Mist.

[@bootsierosenweig9495]

Fantastic! I’d not heard that before.

[@annapurna4054]

@@bootsierosenweig9495 Yes, I hadn't heard it either until Darabont told the story in an interview that was published a few years ago. I thought it was so cool, and his account of it has stuck with me ever since. Her presence there at the end is like a double gut punch when he sees her alive with her children. You know he can't help but wonder if his son would also be alive if they'd gone with her to begin with. (Of course, it's perfectly understandable why they didn't, but it's still a terrific twist upon a twist.)

How do you manage to crack me up during one of the grimmest, darkest films ever made??? Every death scene here is devastating, but I think Pvt. Jessup's was the one that really effed me sideways. It wasn't the most graphic or heartbreaking, but the realisation that the main cast was no safer inside the store than out...the purest nightmare fuel. Stephen King is known for his secondary antagonists, but with Mrs. Carmody, he REALLY outdid himself.

[@Ateezwooyoung]

[@adamrutkowski4457]

Thomas Jane was originally supposed to be Rick Grimes he was even attached to the character as well. He did not get to play Rick though because HBO was offered the walking dead first and they turned it down. By the time the show got a green light Jane was no longer available.

In King's novella, they drive out into the mist in search of a safe haven that may or may not exist. The director changed it, and Stephen King himself, a vocal fan of Darabont's revised ending, described it as "the most shocking ending ever," and said, "there should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last 5 minutes of this film should be hung from their neck until dead."

[@Bluesit32]

It's strange how both endings are happy yet sad. The book, there's a sign of hope. They manage to refuel. At the same time, the mist is all over.

[@drewbear1969]

I hadn't seen this since it came out, I didn't realize both Andrea and Carol were in this too! And frankly, "too realistic" yeah I agree, stories about raw, unprocessed human nature are nothing new, King added this spin on it back in 1980, and it's unsettling to continue recognizing all of this behavior so clearly. A different fun fact: King admitted that Darabont scared him with his own story, he got the creeps a few times and that hand on the window made him jump in his seat 😄 I LOVED Marcia Gay Harden in this, I thought she devoured that part and left no crumbs, and for me, Mrs. Carmody is hands down the scariest monster. I've known people just like her, they'll take every advantage to convince people to believe their twisted perspective. One of my favorite roles of hers was in _A Gaudi Afternoon,_ she's still devious but WAY more fun.

The Painting at the beginning is of Roland Deschain of the Gunslinger novels Steven King also wrote. All of his books take place in same shared universe and connect together in one way or another.

Tower Junkies, y’all here?!

The whole movie, I was just waiting for you to see the end. I think this has to be the most soul-crushing ending ever.

[@AutoPilate]

When David says that he has Norm’s blood on him, he meant it literally.

[@selenagomezacapella]

This movie never fails to make me tear eyed 😭😭😭😭

"There's, what, three bullets?" Actually, there's four 😂(😭)

[@Alphameiz]

I always kind of felt that this would be a fitting end for The Walking Dead. I feel like Frank would’ve done something like that

[@SuperFurry68A]

As many others have probably already said, this was not King's ending - although he said he preferred this ending to his in the book. The ending of this movie completely destroyed me. I'm a father of a 4 year old daughter and cannot imagine how this must feel. All I know is that I wouldn't want to go on if something happened to her - more so if I did it to her myself. An absolutely brutal ending that always turns me into a wreck.

[@kalehead0075]

You never fail to put a smile on my face and make me laugh- thanks for being you! Also this is one of the darkest endings ever.

[@blaqwabbit]

I loved how unexpected the ending was but it had me like.....damn. my mom and I saw it in theaters and the car ride home was Hella silent lol

[@rabooey]

No, that kid's blood was literally on him.

The poster Thomas Jane was working on was for "The Dark Tower". A hat tip to Stephen King as he was the author of the short story "The Mist", as well as "The Dark Tower" series

[@gregorysmith3234]

I’m only 13 mins in so far but I feel like you don’t waste a single word with your reaction like every thing you say is impactful and I love your voice I never know which tone you’re gonna use or what sound effect you’re going to make 😂

[@technopirate304]

Morale of the story don’t give up and keep fighting until you REALLY know it’s over.

[@tiredoffools8929]

Watching this from an American viewpoint, I can't help but see the similarities of the Mist to a current pandemic, and how opportunistic selfish people used fear to divide everyone in the supermarket to the point of wishing their neighbor's death. It is exactly like the many opportunistic political figures in American politics today. Hopefully that is were the similarities end, because the the ending to this movie is the most devastating ending I have ever seen.

[@azazello1784]

The pandemic is a joke. It only killed like 0.25% of population.

[@Nytrez]

For those who loved the ending, I could have been way worst. Darabont wanted to have a second military transport pass and show some of the supermarket's survivors aboard. Darabont didn't shoot the scene because of scheduling.

[@ckobo84]

Don't seem like it would have been that much trouble. Definitely should have done it.

[@thehitherto5348]

I'm extremely split on the ending, but one thing I liked was that it focused on some people who did NOT get a happy ending. It was like a deconstruction of typical Roland Emmerich disaster movies.

[@brettkimura]

I love your reactions, as always, girl! I remember seeing this movie when I was younger, and I loved it, but was also scared.
