The mist is a very interesting story written first by steven king and then later directed by Frank Darabont. The story starts off with a massive storm that hit a small town of louisiana near a military bace. wich made a bunch of folks go the grocery store to buy supplys after the destruction. so as the father played by Thomas Jane and his son were in the store a older man ran in screaming theres something in the mists as the thick cloud of mist covers the store. Everyones in a panic trying to figure everything out.
The father a young boy a store clerk and two matencemen go to the back loading dock to fix the generator and encounter something they never seen before and as they try to break it to the rest of the people some panic some try to rationalize and a few decied there all idiots and leave the store thinking theres nothing in the mist. The story goes on and it really shows a very divirse thought about how people react to such a confusing and scary situation. It makes me think about how would i act in this situation and not many movies can do that. What i really like about this movie is that it leaves alot for your imagination.
It didnt stick to the book exactly but what movie can? I think the change to the end made it alot more suspenceful and also shows that your will to survive can always improve. In the book it ended with the father and the boy in some random apertment with a radio looking for anyone and in the movie the father kills the last remaining survivers in an attemt to not die by being eaten. so in a crazy bad luck scenaro the father shot all his bullets and ran out before he got to hiself and then got really sad and started cry becasue of the situation then proceded to get out of the car to taught anything to kill him and then saw the army rolling by killing off any monsters. If only they had just waited a few moments more they would of all been saved. So thats my take on the movie hope i didnt spoil anythign for those who havent watched it yet.
