He promised his son he wouldn't let the monsters get him, and kept it 🥺

Fun fact : the old lady flaming a spider towards the end is Virginia, Sheriff Buster's wife in "Misery".

There are only a small handful of movie endings that have left me shooketh, and this is one of them. 😵

Once again, your guys’ understanding of what the movie is trying to say is impressive. Unlike 99% of other reactions, you felt the futility of waiting the mist out and pondered if they had to learn to live in how the world is, and not only saw beforehand what David might have been thinking with the four bullets, didn’t rant on about ‘how stupid he is, he drives for a couple minutes and then up and decides to kill everyone else’. Most people seem to think that starving to death in a car, or fates incomprehensibly worse than death, is a much more pleasant manner of going out. Kudos.

I remember watching this in the theater, complete silence right after. People gasping during that last scene. Love this movie.

the scene after they run out of gas is just BEAUTIFUL. They do so much with silence and just the looks on their faces.

Fun fact Stephen King himself said that the movie did it better than his book, especially with the ending

I've literally watched The Mist dozens of times over the years since it first came out. It's one of my all time favorite movies. And in my opinion, one of the best movies ever made! Very few movies (of any genre) are this well done.

I was shocked at the ending. Like wow..... That could not have been a more depressing and heart wrenching ending to a horror film.

One of the best horror films of all time. Frank Darabont is a genius.

This movie is very underrated! Great choice and great reaction guys. It's one hell of a ride for sure. It's iconic

The ending turned this from a really good sci-fi/horror film into a phenomenal film.

One of the best movie endings of all time...Stunning...SO glad the director ended like this rather than the book ending..So brutal and memorable

Y’all had me worried when you were ready to drink the kool-aid so early on😳😂🤣

On the air clearing at the end, I had always assumed (but never read anything about it to know for sure) that the mist was the alien atmosphere blowing through the rift they had opened, that let in the other world's wildlife into our world. Somehow they were able to close the rift, which allowed the air to clear. Then they went hunting. About 5 minutes too late for our people in the car, though.

I know why the crazy lady didn't get stun is because with a lot of predators if you stay really still, they won't hurt you and won't see you as a threat. Yeah, she was no saint lol

I think the greatest ending in a movie that you didn't seeing coming.

The message of this movie is about "not giving up hope" no matter how bleak and hopeless things may seem. Frank Darabont had the same message in The Shawshank Redemption, about how hope can be the best of things.. They gave up on faith, because of how crazy the religious lady was, and they gave up on hope as well. Its about having that right balance of hope and faith, and fighting until the end

Here we go. Waiting for the disbelief at the end 😂

Btw I’ve always been curious about that scene where the bug didn’t sting the crazy lady and it kinda make sense that most bugs when you are calm and standing still, they’re not likely to attack you. So everyone started immediately killing them so the bugs fought back. Idk if it’s the truth but it could be 😂

The point of the movie is don't never give up hope even when you think all hope is lost

This was the BEST adaptation of any Stephen King novel I have ever seen . The ending probably wholloped every one over the head. It was a truly cinematic gut punch.

The unfortunate soldier who was sacrificed to the monsters in the mist by the "Carmody Congregation" is actor, Sam Witwer, who also starred in and voiced one of the most popular video game series in gaming history, "Days Gone". Don't know if either of you are gamers or not, but that game is AMAZING!! One of the best of its kind. Just as good as The Last of Us.

The next door guy with the tree issues and who didn't believe them was the Captain from Brooklyn 99 with Andy Samberg. Many of the others where on The Walking Dead.

"If they would've just waited.." = Everyone's exact reaction.

I am sure someone else mentioned it already, but here goes: The moment you realize two things. 1) if they had gone in the opposite direction, they would have come across the military almost right away... 2) as soon as the son was sacrificed/ killed the mist cleared Now try to not think about that 😨

I absolutely love the camera work in this movie. It's so fascinating when it's a dramatized story, but it's filmed like a documentary with all of the handheld shots and in-camera zooms. I can't explain exactly how it makes me feel, but I just love to see it.

Since Zay mentions the multiverse, _The Mist_ actually hints at something at the very beginning. The painting of _The Thing_ is accompanied with a painting from a guy with guns, which is a reference to _The Gunslinger_ , which is the first installment of the overarching _Dark Tower_ series that's supposedly the center of said multiverse. It connects stories like _Salem's Lot_ , _Insomnia_ , _Hearts of Atlantis_ , _IT_ and many more. King also has a fictional town called _Castle Rock_ which features a number of his stories, like _Needless Things_ , _Cujo_ and many more. The book _The Mist_ actually has a different ending that you've already touched upon, with the remaining survivors trying to survive in this world, going through the entirety of the US. King mentioned that Darabont actually came up with a better ending than he did, so he appreciated that very much. King does have a thing for _Lord of the Flies_ where some of his stories address how society functions in isolated areas, or curious situations. _The Mist_ does this for the supermarket, _The Stand_ does this for a sort-of post-apocalyptic world. Just a heads-up: _Shawshank Redemption_ is one of his non-horror stories, but is nevertheless still a great drama. He has also done non-horror works like _Stand by me_ which is also well-received. That's what people appreciate from him, that he's great at horror, but he's not just a horror writer, since he's also able to breach out to different genres. _Mr. Mercedes_ for instance is technically a crime novel. That makes him incredibly versatile with his storytelling.

This movie taught me to appreciate a dark ending, and I mean DARK. We can't all live happily ever after; even Stephen King's story did not end this way. This movie also taught me that we don't always need a detailed explanation for "the bad thing." The Mist works on so many levels... Good reactions as always, you guys.

You should check out another side of Stephen King with "Stand By Me" it's so different but it is so good! I think you two would definitely appreciate it.

The movie is pretty good, but the ending makes it a masterpiece. I love watching reactions just for the ending, it's so good.

Life is not always a happy ending. I love this movie and the music when they are driving the car. Awesome actors too.

I hope these "as we go" helps 1. In context it is similar to what King did with "The Stand" except in this case it's monsters and not a virus. 2. Jeffery DeMunn is known as a favorite of director Frank Darabont, who has cast him in all four of his films: "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994), "The Green Mile" (1999), and "The Mist" (2007). All King adaptations. He was also in what King himself says "Storm of the Century" was such a good screenplay that he adapted into a book. 3. William Sadler also was in "Shawshank" and "The Green Mile". 4. Frances Sternhagen was in "Misery" by King. 5. Marcia Gay Harden kills it. 6.King wanted to play the big guy that goes out with the rope around his waist "brass balls" but Darabont shot him down. 7. This is not how the book ends. Darabont wanted this ending. King later said that as horrific that it is he likes it better. What makes this ending more devastating is he has to live with it the rest of his life 🥵 8. The picture of the cowboy is an Easter egg from King's "Dark Tower" series. 9. The cool thing about this story is, since the creatures are from a different dimension, they could be anything. 10. Stephen King. You're welcome.

41:04 🤣 😂 🤣 It is always at this point during reactions to the movie that I can't help but to laugh hysterically at reactors. The realization, the shock and disbelief, and the horror upon their faces is just amazing to watch.

It's on record that Stephen King credits Frank Darabont with coming up with a far better ending than he had for his short story. In the context of movie making however the hard part was probably not coming up with it so much as having the nerve to follow though with filming and editing it.

Ironically, David and his friends should have found hope when they saw the giant creature at the end of the film, because this creature is called Behemoth and the Behemoth is a creature of monotheistic religions and it is said that when it is seen hears roar it means that peace and tranquility will return soon

Zay's face during the spider scene.. priceless. LOL

I've watched dozens of reactions to this film - yours was really enjoyable! Kudos to the editor - I saw several things in this edit that don't always make it to the final cut of a standard reaction. Also: lol @ JurrassMist Park 🤣

The woman who left her 8 year old at home is Carol from The Walking Dead. Also, there is a 1980 movie called The Fog where there were deceased townspeople who come from the fog.

I forgot how gruesome this was....excellent.

I remember watching this and the ending left me with my jaw wide open for about 20 mins 😂 such a depressing film lol

Man the ending to this one left all my innards in a knot for a whole week when I first saw it. If they just waited a couple more minutes. But then it just wouldn't be at all impactful.

The people in the store went mental and the had to leave, when the army get to the store you'll probably find that something similar has happened there as what happened in the car.

Some of the paintings in the beginning, were book covers/posters to other Stephen King names Val’s/ movies.

I like how the followers were like “she said someone would die!” Well no shit. That’s like seeing an F5 tornado coming toward a trailer park and saying “one of those people is probably going to die” and then they do and everyone thinks you’re a godly prophet. Lol

One the biggest shock twist endings EVER!

This is a great movie, the ending makes it a masterpiece. Whether you like the movie or not, you have to admit that ending sticks with you. Fantastic movie.

Gotta get him to check out Shawshank. Possibly my favorite all-time movie.

So glad you watched this.. Stephen King always has an awesome imagination..

King’s ending stopped when the large monster moves over the car and the characters feel hopeless. Darabont’s ending tags on the most mindblowing decision to add to the psychological terror.

I love the vanishing neck trick these guys do when they get scared.

Frances Sternhagen was a Boss. RIP she recently passed on. She was also in Misery another S. King adaptation that is featured on your channel. The comic relief y'all referred to her as in your reaction video. Great content, guys!

This movie does an extremely good job at portraying the primitive nature of humans and how in a dire situation when it seems like there is no way out and no hope, then people will turn to anything or anyone that offers a solution. This movie does an extremely good job at portraying that realistic aspect of humans.

Frank Darabont never dissapoints

24:13 The bug took one look at her and said "Nah! I better don't eat that or I'll get sick"

28:50 - use you’re axe and create a tunnel to the grocery store 😂

A good movie! Unfortunately, it's very underrated.

Great reaction guys, first , this was a top notch cast, I have seen most of the main actors in other shows, where they were also great, did you notice the old lady that had about one line, she was s the sheriff;s wife in MISERY. There are several great SK tv miniseries, which were made back in the day when miniseries on Prime Time tv were a big deal and done well. such as Storm of the Century, The Langoliers, The Stand and The Tommyknockers. I am so looking forward to Zay seeing Shawshank for the first time, its one of m y all time favorite films!!

the painting he was working on in the begining is a easter egg. the cowboy is bascially the protector of the multiply worlds

Toby Jones is badass in this film.

41:55 off to the left of the screen, I just noticed what looks like the charred remains of a huge spider! I’ve watched this a few times but never noticed

That ending will stay with you forever. It will pop into your head sometimes when faced with desperate and impossible decisions in your life. You say to yourself, if he would have just waited five more minutes… Stephen King is a teacher of sorts, and that is a good lesson to learn. There is always hope. Just give it five more minutes.

How did I just now realize there are 3 TWD cast members in this movie, plus they share Frank Darabont 🤦‍♀️😁

Yeah this ending f#cked y'all up. Zay's face 🤣

Cam you are a natural analyst and Zay you are hilarious. I’m happy to have subscribed.

Many thanks to Cameron & Isaiah! 🌫 #CamAndZay #FrankDarabont #TheMist

I saw this on my 17th birthday, in theatres. Read the actual story in the book "Skeleton Key" by Stephen King, during lock down. The ending is similar until he shoots everyone, but that definately beefed up the ending compared to them just leaving town. They also did a great job with Carmendy.

That ending 😮they didn’t have to do us like that . Please do Quarantine’

I’m so glad King used the Lovecraft universe, and the ending is truly heartbreaking.

Thomas Jane is also Marvel but not MCU. He was one of the Punishers. And he would have played Rick in The Walking Dead but HBO pass and by the time AMC picked it up he was booked.

Omg! I can't wait for spooky season movies to be gone! UG! This was so disgusting. Those poor people! I was right with Zay during that whole Spider scene! Horrible! I hate bugs so much. After seeing this, I never want to go camping again. I saw that gag, Cam! 😅😂

The mist and cloverfield are in the same universe of film making....Neither Stephen King's Mist book nor Darabont's The Mist ending explained what causes the arrival of the mist or its monsters. However, both the book and the movie heavily imply it is related to a secret military experiment called Project Arrowhead.

Excellent commentary!

I truly love this movie, the ending was so much more heartbreaking than in the book, in the book they just find another car and keep driving so there was this open ending of hope but this was gut wrenching.

frank darabont also made season 1 of the waking dead tv series

This is the first Stephen King movie that I actually said at the end of the movie, "damn you Stephen King!"

That ending, whew! It's so powerful

Took me a couple of watches before I realised at the end the Military came out of the mist from behind, that whole time they were probably driving away from help.

Good job on the sponsored advertiser. It was quite amusing with the bird! Good show guys.

I was a Stephen King fanatic back in the 80s. From Pet Sematzry in 1984 to Desperation and The Regulators, I bought every novel, short story collection, novella collection, I bought it. The Mist was a short story from Skeleton Crew. Everyone who read that short story hated it. There was a radio drama with 3D sound at around the same time. I never heard the radio drama but the people I know who had weren't impressed, so that's why I'm surprised the movie. Is getting some love. I always liked the story dating back to when it was a short story. Every Stephen King adaptation should be directed by Frank Darabont. There were also some actors who have worked with Darabont such as Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMun and Melissa McBride, who were all on The Walking Dead when Darabont was the producer. Also, Thomas Jane was considered for the role of Rick Grimes on TWD.

the store front part of this movie was filmed in Vivian Luisana a town of about 2000 people They put up huge walls around the grocery store to film the mist sequence for a week and the people living in the area where outside the arear. So most of this movie was filmed outside Hollywood because of the regions it was filmed in. Another movie filmed mostly in Luisiana Was Battle LA Filmed in Shreveport La Just like the walking dead was filmed in Geargia.

Not sure if anyone said this but there were two endings filmed. The one you saw and the one where everything worked out. Both were shown to test audiences and it polled better with the ending they went with.

Great. The morning after I watched this 1/4 mile visibility fog

Oh boy, i do get the other characters back stories thing, but if you did, then it would be called a longer movie or as i would say, a series. More like a book for TV for sure.

I have to say, you two are rocking' the movies for Halloween this year. Excellent choices so far. @29:02, I think we see Zay's breaking point for getting grossed out. Phenomenal reaction. Watching this with you two is only the second time I've seen the movie. It's a great movie. Great SFX, acting, and story, but the ending hit me hard the first time. After watching their reaction to this movie, if you two ever decide to watch "Starship Troopers", all I can say is buckle up and hang on. Thanks guys.

This has been and always will be the most fu**ed up movies I've seen.. But A Must See.. Thank goodness you did..

The storm in the beginning of the movie always scared me, a tornado struck our house when I was 7 and a tree also came in flying through my bedroom window landing on top of my bed luckily we were talking shelter in the bathroom and strangely only part of the wall of the bathroom wall and my bedroom survived. It still the ONLY Recorded F5 to form in South Africa but we did had have a F3 2 weeks ago in a town not far from where I live

best reactions... keep it up love your work

So the tank came from behind them which means those at the grocery store may have pulled through lol. Up to the viewer I suppose. The movie was pretty damn good overall though. The CGI was good for the most part. It was really only bad with the first tentacle creature.

Wait at 4:15 does anyone see " The Thing " Painting on the wall and looks like the Gunslinger painting on the easel . John Carpenter made the movie the Thing Well first it was The Thing from Another World produced by Edward Lasker .

It didn't actually like dog food. It was just testing what it was touching.

What makes this film truly interesting, is the fact that you can give a scientific and logical explanation for all the things happening on the movie, or a more religious one. Like the lady at the beginning stepping into the mist to get back home for her kids was kind of leap of faith into unknown. Her faith was rewarded, as she got home safely, whereas the group led by David litterally gave up hope at the end of the movie deciding to gave up their lives. David, obviously not the biggest believer, paid the ultimate price and having to live with his deed for killing 4 people, including his own son, for the rest of his life. Seems very much like a hell to me. Its also interesting to think, that Mrs Carmody talked about the blood of expiation-and the mist cleared after she herself was killed by Ollie. In Mrs Carmody's mind none of the group that escapee were true believers-and they all (except David) got killed in the end. Some may see a logical explanation behind every action and chain of events that happened during the film, but there can be found also religious motives on this film. And I guess that's quite intentional from Mr. King, except the ending of the film, that was not out of his own pen.

The best thing about the reaction is, "that was me when I got electrocuted." What is going on in that house, Cameron?

That ending…Dark AF.

I think that in the book, it ends with them going out in the mist, driving aimlessly. It's an open ending, and a slightly more hopeful one. Stephen King said he liked the ending of the movie more. It is knife twisting. It f*cked me up the first time I've watched it. Goddamn.

This ending is not in Steven King’s writing, but he said he wished he did. It was better than what he wrote! The word you were searching for is DEVASTATING.

Your reactions to this movie is your best yet. Each time a new creature came on the screen your faces were amazing lol Cam - I think you screamed more at this than any horror movie ya'll have watched thus far. 😅 Zay - I didn't think anything could make you want to say the words "I'm gonna puke". I would have never guessed spiders were your kryptonite 😆 I was thoroughly entertained by your reactions more than I was the movie! 😂 👍👍 way up!!

The crazy lady was right, once the boy was sacrified the mist left

I have a love hate relationship with this ending! The whole movie is emotionally numbing but this ending is jaw dropping and haunting! Thomas Jayne screaming at the end is heart wrenching!!! I was affected for days after seeing it! Great review guys!

I feel like the big left her alone because she didn’t move. And that’s all.
