31 Days of Halloween: Day 20 – The Mist

I get so much crap for liking this movie, but I think it’s worth mentioning on this list. Starring Thomas Jane, The Mist puts a group of confused and scared survivors trapped in a supermarket isolated from a strange fog outside. What’s inside the mist is the question of many of the people, as the creatures begin to struggle into the building. The movie is not perfect, but has a good spooky feel perfect for Halloween.

Everyone who has watched the movie is divided on the ending. It’s polarizing and shocking, going farther then Stephen King’s short story does. Spoiler-free, I don’t think it was necessary to use the conclusion as it is in the film, but I am not the filmmaker, and the ending should not ruin the whole picture. Having said that, post your thoughts on the ending below. Beware, spoilers will be present.
