HorrorSpeak---Terror Awaits You in Every Forum!!!!: THE MIST!!!

I thought the movie was really good, capturing a lot of what made the short story great. I thought that some of the CGI was pretty poorly executed and it didn't look good at all. But the tentacles looked killer and the monsters in the Mist were fantastic (one reminded me of the monster on the cover of The Misfits' Walk Among Us/ Angry Red Planet Monster).

but for the ending...

************************HUGE SPOILERS**************************

I really hated it. It seemed like such a cheap shot to me (and not in a cool Twilight Zone sort of way). Really, they thought about suicide for all of about 30 seconds before he shot them all. They were like, Oh well, I guess that's it. let's kill ourselves. No fucking way...
The tanks rolling in was ridiculous as it made the whole Mist less ominous and powerful and more of a military fuck up that they could rally against. I thought it was supposed to be an end of the world scenario and it's like.. "whoops" should have waited a little longer for the Military to come rolling through. It brought the film from a B+ down to a C IMHO. Oh well...

Anyway, with the above mentioned, I'll give it a C. Too bad...
