I mean from a sheer logical point those creatures couldn't get into the car outside the supermarket or past the metal door. The five of them in that car are safe, they have food and water thanks to dead shopkeeps efforts. They could quite easily have lasted for a several more days in the car, not to mention they have a gun they can shoot 4 of the smaller monsters, heck the big one ignored them....and then where would they be? In a car with zero bullets instead of four. Also the Lawyer not wanting to go and look in the back area at the tentacle was dumb, likewise those guys talking about how to explain this to everyone when they have a tentacle on the floor right next to them, just carry it out so everyone can see it. Or heck they could have taken a photo with the mobile phone, just because you have no signal does not mean your phone is dead. Yeah, that was really contrived. He said that the townspeople had us the (real) mist to play a prank on him. That would mean that like half the store, had seen the mist come in, and decided within ten minutes of it coming in to mess with the lawyer. Meanwhile the known crazy religious lady in town is claiming it is the end of days, 24 hours later everyone is following her with no doubt or arguments, heck they'll even try and sacrifice a child. The kids in Lord of the Flies held up better than this lot and they had no supermarket convieniences. They only started believing once things started going really bad and people started to die these horrific death. Fear makes people look for an answer, even if it's irrational...

Only Eden Lake has an ending that kicks you in the balls harder.

I love this movie and if I remember Stephen King liked it more than his own ending.

Only Eden Lake has an ending that kicks you in the balls harder. It is for that reason that I REALLY want to see Eden Lake. As much as the ending to The Mist tore me apart, it was an unforgettable experience.

The ending made plenty sense. I haven't watched it in a few years but from what I remember, they had just went through hell in that supermarket, they drove through town(where the main character saw that his wife was killed) where no one could be found and right before running out of gas, they saw a giant monster within the mist. It was mercy. I could either have my son die a painful death, should we leave this car or I can give him an easy way out. That simple. They were drained and hopeless.

This is the Thomas Jane movie right? I've been meaning to download it for a while now since I remember quite liking it. Before this movie, he just wanted his kids back. Now he regrets taking them. Good movie. It's like a mini Walking Dead. I don't really see the comparison.

I really liked the movie, until the horrible ending that ruined everything.

These scene where they try to break into the pharmacy and have to deal with the acid streaming spiders is one of the more scary scenes filmed this century.

This is the one reason the ending does not work for me. There is something like that out there and the army just rides in with flamethrowers and saves the day? Something like that would involve major firepower or even a nuke. That whole area would be a blasted wasteland if the army managed to kill them all.

No it wouldn't it is incredibly slow, some guys on a hill in a tank could take that out. These bug-like creatures die to bullets, a garden rake, a can of aerosol and a lighter & an axe.
A tank or missile from a jet would finish that beast with no trouble.

Just imagine trying to clean up that creature's poo.

I saw it for the first time a couple of weeks back having known almost nothing about it beforehand. Thought it was great.

It's so big that I'd imagine a few missiles to its legs would just cause it to collapse because of its sheer size...

I loved the movie and the ending. I don't really see the need to spoiler the ending at this point, but alright...

They could quite easily have lasted for a several more days in the car, not to mention they have a gun they can shoot 4 of the smaller monsters, heck the big one ignored them. Did you like, ignore everything that happened and somehow find a way to miss how viscious and strong the monsters were? Yeah the huge one ignored them, that time, remeber when they were escaping and the guy who orignally had the gun had the luck of running into the Praying Mantis thing? Yeah he was killed in seconds. If one of those or tons of the Fly monsters showed up they'd be dead. It makes sense for them to give up in that situations after everything they've been through.

Yeah the huge one is strong sure, but the spiders aren't, the little bugs are attracted by lights, the flying reptile things are stupid and the tenacle monster got beat down by automatic door + axe.
So no monsters are not strong except big crabby.
Plot holes are still huge, characters are one dimensional and stupid and I still hate this film.
