The movie grossed $57 million and earned a solid 73% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The first minor shock comes when the characters discover where the mist is coming from.
The biggestshock ofThe Mist’sending, however, comes at the very end of the movie.
David, his son, and the other survivors escape the grocery store and drive through the mist.
They come upon a massive monster, and right at that moment, run out of gas.
However, just moments later, the mist clears and the U.S. military arrives to save them.
Stephen King’s terrifying novel is brought to the screen with The Mist - a horror-thriller film directed by Frank Darabont. When a small town suddenly sees a giant rolling fog arrive, they show mere curiosity. But when people begin to die mysteriously within, several survivors hold up in a grocery store as they attempt to find a way out and survive - unfortunately, the dangers don’t just come from outside- they also come from within.
Thus, David killed everyone for no reason, and collapses in complete anguish.
It is a slow burn that never makes audiences suspect such a blow-out ending.
I was so concerned about the mist that I never considered how dangerous David could be.
Ultimately,David’s act is the core ofThe Mist’sdisturbing ending.
It is a choice that will most definitely haunt him for the rest of his life.
Yet, I was surprised to discover that King didn’t actually writeThe Mist’sshocking ending.
Frank Darabont directed three Stephen King movie adaptations:The Mist,The Green Mile, andThe Shawshank Redemption.
