The Mist (2007)

Rating:★★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Horror
There had been three films that kept me up after watching them. They were The Matrix, Fight Club and Memento. Regardless is it due to their astonishing ways of telling a story, their mind fucks or their chilling endings, it kept me up for the longest time.

The Mist had just joined that privileged club.

It's ending had bothered me and frankly it was unacceptable to a degree. But it grew on me and I had decide to like it for its boldness, for it's darkness and for everything it stood prejudiced against.

Watching The Mist had been enjoyable. Very. I had never squirmed, hollered, clapped and swore so much during a public movie sitting.

I'm getting the DVD.

    stephen kings ending is simpler. they just rode into the mist, facing the unknown. the end.

    i like this ending because now the hero is fallible. his decision which may seem heroic at first is now rash and foolish. he had been leading them further and further away from help in the first place. it's fuckup becos it's real. we are all not heroes. we are just stupid humans.

    possessing the knowledge of the ending will not in anyway affect the joy of watching this film.
