Review of The Mist (2007) by Bfoore90 — 22 Sep 2016

Led by an astounding performance by Thomas Jane, The mist is a visceral and eerie tale about the monsters that hide inside us all. While I can certainly see why people were turned off by the movies ending, you have to give the director credit where credit is due for having the brass balls to take an ending that far and create an ending that leaves audiences shocked and stunned.

The ending absolutely floored me, even though the movie has been out for some time. This movie does alot of things well and crosses lines that are not often crossed in modern day cinema. Like for instance, The film does a great job at making you absolutely disdain the antagonist, a mentally deranged women who uses religion in order to indoctrinate the weak minded and turn herself into "a voice of god" type of character.

I admired it alot as I felt that sort of thing is very real in today's world and we see it all the time. The film does two things extremely well. The other thing it does really well is that it really leaves you with the aura of death to the living and no hope for humanity all quite well.

Those kind of shock values tend to stick with you forever and with that being said, these kinds of endings are not common, so take the time to enjoy them while you can.
