Great Movies With a Horibly Stupid Ending

Rating: 5/10 (23 November 2007)

The Mist is yet another movie from Stephen King. In a small town in Maine a strange mist covers the town. The movie follows a group of people who are trapped in a local market. As people try to go into the mist no one returns and there is a mysterious group of tentacles that reach into the store eventually they begin to fight back against the monsters in the mist and also have to deal with an annoying religious fanatic who convinces most of the store that it is judgment day.
I went into The Mist with low expectations (having just seen the horrible Steven King movie 1408, and I was pleasantly surprised... until the end. I was so disappointed with the ending I still can't believe it. I loved the movie until the ending. When the last fifteen- twenty minutes of the movie happen it all goes down hill from there. I can't even explain how disappointed I was with the ending, which was sad and disturbing. I can only hope that the DVD has alternate endings. If it were not for the ending of the movie I would have given the movie an eight. Wait until this movie is on DVD unless you like sad and depressing endings where most of your favorite characters will die.
