narcolepticsloth my tv was screwed up when I viewed this, so I watched it in Black and white.. a few weeks later I saw it in color..
I can honestly say that it is way better in Black and white.. I dont know what it is..

professork I remember watching this with my fairly upbeat friend...he loathed the ending, because it just made him feel dirty and wrong...I, being a bit of a pessimist, not to mention possible sadist, loved it, even more so for the fact that I could not help but laugh at my friends reaction...it was like frank darabont showed him the cutest widdle puppy dog then caved its head in with a brick...(though don't get me wrong. I far prefer animals to humans)...my poor friend...I also made him watch "funny games"...he must hate me sometimes...

Protoclown Woah, that's weird that you posted this today, because I just showed a couple of my friends this movie for the first time last night. Freaky.

MartinSargent Ending was awesome. Most people hate any ending that's not all happy where the main characters live happily ever after in their gum drop house on lollypop lain.

Count Mek Thanks a bunch for posting this! I went and watched it with my mate: one of the best movies I've seen; that guy, Ollie; who I referred to in the beginning of the movie as "Down syndrome light bulb headed guy" actually became one of the biggest bad asses ever; he freakin' ruled!
And, holy crap! That "wouldn't it be awful if..." moment was EXACTLY WHAT I SAID THEN IT HAPPENED! I just said "It'd be crazy if..." then I started noticing it and all we could say was "ohhh nooo, no no no no no nooo >.<"
AWESOME MOVIE man, thank you so much for reviewing it and alerting me to it's existence ^^

BeatlesLover I saw it in theaters the day it came out. I was waiting for it forever. Frank Darabont is the best director of all time. Well, maybe not, but he still ranks top five. All his King adaptations have ruled.

Kirbykid I work in a movie theater, so I often see the ends to movies. I saw this one, and wanted to die... The worst ending ever! It reakky made you just want to stop living, And I never fell like that!

yeah, but it's based on a steven king story from 1980, so it's not like it's plagiarizing SH.

Magic Flyin' Lemur So I just watched this movie... and I think I'll go slash my wrists. Christ the ending depressed me.

BurntToShreds I haven't seen it, so I want to know, does the "Behemoth" look like Cthulhu, or some other Lovecraftian horror?

Nick Steven King still writes books?
Apr 18th, 2008 06:38 PM
Count Mek Sounds awesome; I may check this out when my mate is over, thanks! :D

Vastarien202 I loved this movie!
I don't think the ending was bad at all, it was just what was needed to drive the point home. I am also a rabid fan of Thomas Ligotti and H.P. Lovecraft, and the creature designs were amazingly true to that feeling, especially the Titan Walker at the end. Sweet!

Terrible-D I have to admit that this movie was a pleasent surprise. I bought the movie on a whim, and found it to be a very entertaining film. Sure, it's not the ending King wrote(if you want to read the story, I suggest reading the whole of Skeleton Crew, and not just the stand alone copy of the Mist), but that doesn't make it any less gut wrenching. And from someone who isn't scared or shocked very often from films, that's saying something.
On a side note, the cover of the special edition of this dvd might be a spoiler in and of itself.

Relaxing Dragon For reasons unknown to me, I haven't seen this yet. I love Stephen King movies (and horror movies in general), I like the occasional depressing ending (just to mix things up), and Frank Darabont was a god to me for all of the 90s. And yet, I missed it in theaters and it's now making a very slow crawl up my netflix list. I'll need to bump it now, as this is yet another encouraging review, and I can't put it off any longer.
Apr 17th, 2008 08:58 PM
Dungeonbrownies i read your review, and now im gonna try to see it, despite how i thought it was going to be a piece of crap when i saw the previews, youve chagned my mind and i trust your judgment.

Ferrit Haven't seen it yet :S - Can't read the review :S :S

dang dang dang

fiercealmond Haha wow, sorry. "Enough differences to make it different" should have read, "enough differences to make it its own"

I have enough stupid to be stupid
Apr 17th, 2008 04:19 PM
fiercealmond I just watched it the other day, and I loved it. It was very faithful to the original story, but with enough differences to make it different. The ending was great, it really is one of the only truly horrifying moments in cinema history. It's not gory, it's not monstrous, but it's possibly the first horror movie to truly horrify me instead of just disgust or shock me.

BakaGaijin ...and I mean the "after the end" ending... hope that makes it clear enough to those who've seen it. I love the actions taken to resolve to situation, just not the revelation after the actions. Make sense? Good. 'Nuff Said.
Apr 17th, 2008 10:26 AM
BakaGaijin I'm going to try not to give any spoilers here. I really liked the movie until the end. I found it unnecessary. The movie itself is dark and hopeless and beautiful, but the ending ruined it for me. It's like it intentionally tries to push the movie further while turning it in another direction. I would've liked it to end right before the "twist", a good solid "end" ending. Other than that, it was perfect in almost every way.

whoareyou I loved this movie. The ending was just so deflating, Though to truly enjoy this movie you have to see the black and white version that comes with the 2 disc edition. It adds so much to the atmosphere of the movie.
