I went with a group of friends to see this movie in theaters and when it was over the whole audience didn't say a word and we all walked out in silence - nobody expected THAT ending!

[@travismcbay9070]

samething for me.

[@sonnieandjacob]

Not my audience. Ive never heard so much fury in my life

[@MiddleAgedBob]

I can’t think of a more gutpunch of an ending in a fiction movie.

[@MacGuffinExMachina]

Surprised me too because I read the book, and it has a different ending.

[@SerbAtheist]

NOBODY expected that ending! It's main weapon is shock, shock and devastation, it's two main weapons are...

[@madgeordierob7890]

Stephen King said that the ending was 'the ending I should have written, but didn't have the balls'

[@ttanza4004]

INTERESTING FACT Stephen King actually liked the Ending of this Movie more than the Ending of his own Book.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

And coming from the greatest horror writer of all time, that's saying something.

[@paulssss5463]

One of my favorite movies of all time. Frank Darabont is a genius. He's the reason why The Walking Dead season 1 turned out so great!

[@ztomas1]

It's also why a lot of the actors from this movie were in the Walking Dead

[@robbob5258]

So true, season one of TWD feels so different from the rest, and IMO its the best of them

So absolutely true

[@Kenosos]

It's brutal but honestly this is the most impactful ending of just about about anything ever i've seen, heard, or read.

[@thejustinsteffan]

You only need seen or read. You only need read if youre blind.

[@christianrunfola9461]

This was not King's ending. Frank Darabont wrote this himself, and King loved it.

Never give up. Never give into fear. Fight for every inch you can. Live.

Sam Witwer, the soldier that got stabbed/sacrificed, is a big part of Star Wars animated & video game content. He was the voice of Darth Maul, Emperor Palpatine [partially], Starkiller and more...

[@alisuhhh]

I watched this too young because I sobbed for at least a hour after the ending 😭😭😭

[@patty1h]

There were 2 more Walking Dead actors in this besides Andrea, Dale and Carol. Two of the soldiers: one was Morales from S1 and he showed up later in the series (S8?) and met up with Rick. The other soldier, who got pushed outside, was the corpse in the tank with Rick in the very first episode of the show.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

still one of the best endings ever in a movie, it´s hard for a story to have a good ending and this just nailed it

[@blackandwhiteandtherainbow]

I saw this in theaters when it came out. The entire audience was in utter shock !

[@OneThousandHomoDJs]

14:22 -- Saw this in a packed theater with a few friends, one of whom loved gore as much as I did. When they pulled back that pair of legs, the two of us DIED laughing, I think everyone else either thought we were deranged, or they joined in.

[@firegod001]

What a powerful ending. It has to be the most tragically bitter sweet moment I've ever seen in a movie. Of course it's a good thing that everyone is being saved, but almost unanimously, we're all horrified by it.

[@paulonius42]

There's absolutely nothing bittersweet about the ending. It's just bitter. Perhaps you mean a different word.

[@firegod001]

@@paulonius42 Nope. That's the term I meant, and I even spelled it out for the not so bright. Hopefully you're just having an off day, because you didn't even comprehend it when it's spelled out. The sweet part is that everyone is being saved. The bitter part is that once everyone is saved, the tragic deed is so much more tragic. Try harder, but thanks for playing, sporty.

[@paulonius42]

@firegod001 The entire movie is from the viewpoint of the father, so the ending is completely bitter. That is how drama works and has always worked. We follow the emotions of the protagonist, in this case the father whose story has a bitter ending. There is no sweetness for him. Also, we don't know that everyone is being saved, we have no idea how much of the Mist and its creatures have been pushed back by the military. All we know is that the protagonist just killed four people including his own child just moments before they would have been saved. For all we know, he could be the only person left alive that the military saves anywhere. The bigger picture, the outside world, does not matter to the emotional story of this movie. The father, the protagonist, has a completely bitter ending. Your lack of media literacy, dramatic literacy, and basic courtesy show that you probably should get off your high horse and try learning something.

[@interstellardave]

It is bitter… but no less valid an ending than any other. Generally I like happy endings but so many movies present terribly bleak situations and then force a quick, sometimes highly unlikely, happy ending. I’ve rolled my eyes at quite a few endings like that! Those types of movies make it actually refreshing to see a realistically grim, and sad, ending for once. And it’s not just shocking, it also makes you think, and imparts some lessons of its own. The consequences are so impactful that you can’t sit back and say “all’s well that ends well” and just move on and forget about it. The late great Rod Serling would’ve loved it.

[@deathsaidhello]

My favorite time of the year! More and more people every year get introduced to this film this time of year every year and seeing the reaction to the end is always great XD Thank you ladies 😁

[@bobmessier5215]

Andrew Lincoln was asked to play the lead in this film, but he had been busy with another project.

[@hairltabbjr94]

[@Christobanistan]

@@BlackTigrThat's how you know it's working. 😊😊

[@slantize]

This is one of my top 10 movies. The ending was bold and haunting. This became a audience favorite classic after it became a home release, as it was poorly marketed for the theaters at the time.

[@decristal48]

Message of this movie: Never give up

[@danieldickson8591]

But they had no reason to believe any rescue was coming, or that the Mist had an end. The apparent choice was between a quick death by bullet, or a slow death being eaten alive. The true message of this movie is that you can be smart, brave, compassionate, make the best choices you can under the circumstances, and still lose. Because the world isn't just or fair, and it doesn't care what you deserve.

[@sc1338]

@@danieldickson8591still they weren’t in immediate danger, but I agree

[@mrexists5400]

One thing I liked about the movie was that the creatures weren't the monsters, they were just animals doing animal things. They didn't actively try to break the windows, the tentacle creature wasn't going on a rampage, it retreated when it wasn't worth the risk of harm anymore.

[@Hoshtove]

The real monsters were inside the store

"Happy Holidays" That intro, I feel so bad knowing this was gonna be a such a depressing, gut wrenching movie 😭😭

[@mickymickymike4105]

Hindsight is always 20/20. That is the point of the ending. Such a fantastic film!

[@markpekrul4393]

Brilliant - the movie ended far differently than the novella, and King has said something along the lines of wishing he'd had the guts to end it like THIS.

[@mikemath9508]

ending rules. truly makes the movie wish more movies had bad endings. and it's impossible to ask for recommendations because then you go in knowing it won't be a typical happy or bittersweet ending.

[@theresaharper8833]

The solider with the black hair they sacrificed was the soldier in the tank with Rick on TWD season 1

[@maximillianosaben]

So utterly glad I saw this in theaters! P.S. The Black & White version of the movie is excellent, and easy to see why the director even enjoys it more. It adds so well to the atmosphere of this story, and also frankly helps make some of the more obvious early CGI look perfectly fine.

[@MrJameslupien]

I love watching people get bamboozled by the ending 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SamuelDJCox]

The most important reaction moment of this film… 33:22

[@michaelallen3894]

Dale, Andrea and Carol are all in the Mist.

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

This movies does an extremely amazing job at portraying how primitive people are, and in a dire situation when and where everyone is scared and it looks like there is no hope, them people will turn to anyone or anything that offers a solution, with the religion cult stuff. This movie does an extremely good job at portraying the realistic aspect of that.

[@williamjones6031]

I hope these "as we go" helps 1. In context it is similar to what King did with The Stand except in this case it's monsters and not a virus. 2. Jeffery DeMunn is known as a favorite of director Frank Darabont, who has cast him in all four of his films: "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994), "The Green Mile" (1999), and "The Mist" (2007). All King adaptations. He was also in what King himself says "Storm of the Century" was such a good screenplay that he adapted into a book. 3. William Sadler also was in "Shawshank" and "The Green Mile". 4. Frances Sternhagen was in "Misery" by King. 5. Marcia Gay Harden kills it. 6.King wanted to play the big guy that goes out with the rope around his waist "brass balls" but Darabont shot him down. 7. This is not how the book ends. Darabont wanted this ending. King later said that as horrific that it is he likes it better. What makes this ending more devastating is he has to live with it the rest of his life 🥵 8. The picture of the cowboy is an Easter egg from King's "Dark Tower series 9. The cool thing about this story is, since the creatures are from a different dimension, they could be anything. 10. Stephen King. You're welcome.

[@51tetra69]

“The Mist” has the most crushing, gut-wrenching, heart-rending conclusion to any movie, EVER!

[@michaelsweat9044]

It wasn't Stephen King's ending, it was Frank Darabont's ending, but Stephen King love Frank's ending a whole lot better.

[@MrKutKuGaruga96]

I think this movie really gives the message that hope is the last thing to die

[@StephenCice]

I once had my mom watched this with me and she didn't approve of the ending.

[@melissapena5001]

Glad you watching this! Guess which TWD cast are in it? The 3 got there chance at their parts cause of producer Frank Darabout. He is the one that got TWD on the air and what a great first season he did! It was shocking and sad ending.

[@arobin6695]

i wish every movie ended like that

[@dungeonmaster16]

Also each of Stephen king books is tied to his main series The Dark Tower since alot of the supernatural that happens on earth is leaked from that universe. The creatures here is form a universe between ours and dark tower which the protagonist in one of the books fought one of the creatures seen here.

[@JayCity10]

Dawn of the Dead remake 2004, is a great film to react to.

[@rumbledumpthumpershaker6735]

Fun facts. The soldier that got sacrificed here was the tank zombie on season one of The Walking Dead. That characters backstory was cut. Thomas Jane would have played Rick but HBO pass on the projected and he was booked by the time AMC picked it up.

[@haruruben]

It was a happy ending for Carolyn and her kids… they made it out alive and probably connected with the military before the mist creatures could get to them at all, and they’re probably blissfully unaware of the horrors of being infested with thousands of eggs

[@wackymackyboy]

Thank you for this video. The three of you have great chemistry and your reactions were very entertaining. I never doubted that it was your first time seeing this excellent film which was like watching it for the first time myself. If I could suggest other media you might react to, I would suggest The Lives of Others. It's an outstanding german drama film set in 1980s East Germany. Elegant, poignant, and powerful; you will never forget it.

[@durielv4482]

Hahaha "are you kiddin', this is the end of the movie?" when the worst is yet to come... Think ive read somewhere that thia movie was ment as a black and white movie but after it was shot the studio decided it was gonna release in color, thats why some special effects and the blood look a bit off sometimes

[@Huntress59]

I read that Frank Darabont, the director of the Mist and creator of the Walking Dead originally wanted Thomas Jane to play Rick Grimes. I love Andrew Lincoln and his portrayal but I think Thomas Jane would have been great too.

[@Cbricklyne]

Thomas Jane had actually been cast to play Rick Grimes and was all set to play the role until scheduling issues prevented him from doing so and forced him to pull out at the last minute and the studio was forced to bring in the second choice for the role who wasn't even auditioned because Darabont was so dead-set on Thomas Jane being the Rick Grimes that he never bothered to audition anyone else. Still, the studio had set Andew Lincoln as the backup just in case, and in this case it actually turned out to be a good idea since they did need a back up, and Lincoln caught a last minute flight to Atlanta to take the role without any preparation at all, and the rest is history.

[@chrisbell9075]

That ending though, am I right ladies? Lol.. I love this movie, but that ending has haunted me & sooo many other people for years, or so I hear.. In the book version, it's left kinda open-ended as to what happens to them, they just run outta gas & ponder things for a while.. But they did this version to give the film a gut-wrench & it SO works.. Stephen King loved the new ending & was quoted as saying something along the lines of "people who go & see this in theaters & then go & ruin it by telling others before they've had a chance to see it should all be lined up & shot".. 😂😂 Kinda extreme, but I see where he was coming from, bc I love watching reactions to this for that very reason.. To see the visceral sickening reactions of reactors when they realize what they just witnessed.. It takes me back to my first time seeing it, & I'm just as yucky feeling today as I was back then tbh, lol. King came up with the idea of this btw one day when he was in a supermarket following a thunderstorm & imagined giant prehistoric insects & animals attacking the place he was in & went home & started on it. Love that. Lol.❤ Thank you for watching this, girls..✌🏻

[@adilbelgacem4309]

Ironically, David and his friends should have found hope when they saw the giant creature at the end of the film, because this creature is called Behemoth and the Behemoth is a creature of monotheistic religions and it is said that when it is seen hears roar it means that peace and tranquility will return soon

Sadly, Stephen King gets credit for the movie ending. That's the writer & director Frank Darabont. He told the studio execs. that he would only do the movie as long as they leave his version of the ending in the movie. King's short novel ending has Drayton & son making it to a hotel off of the highway with a radio broadcasting the Emergency Channel announcing a "Safe Area" from the Mist at so and so town. Which is a typical Stephen King ending by being a letdown. This is why the movie is far superior than the original source material like Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining.

The artist was finishing a painting of The Gunslinger.. another Stephen King book series. Please don't react to the awful movie they made of it though! 😂😂

[@VelkanAngels]

The ending didn't impact me the same way, cause it made no sense to me. I'd understand if a horrible monster was getting into the car and he killed them so they'd at least die quickly (cause people die instantly from a single gunshot in movies), but... nothing was happening. They were sitting on the road, silence outside and he just pre-emptively kills them..? Just in CASE something would at some point get into the car..? Come on... I need a tragic thing to make sense, for it to make me emotional. It's like if a character falls down while monsters are after them and we can clearly see them having plenty of time to get up and keep running, but instead they just lay there for ½ an eternity, screaming and waiting to get killed. That just makes me irritated instead of sad, especially if I liked the character. Basically, I just hear the directors screaming in my face "FEEL SAD! Please..? COME OOON!" It doesn't feel authentic at all. If only they'd had a monster attack the car, almost getting in and he tries to shoot it but it... idk deflects bullets or whatever and THEN he uses the last bullets to kill the others in mercy, just before the army arrives and kills the monster. That would've taken it from "psh..." to tear-jerkingly emotional for me, cause they actually WOULD have been mercy kills, as opposed to "eh, just in case"-kills.

[@r.a.fgattaiguy845]

they didn´t know what was coming to kill them, why wait for some horrible death when you can just end it quickly?
