Honestly think this movie accurately depicts how people would react in a situation like this. People nowadays can’t stick together for more than 5 minutes
Interesting thing about this film, the original ending by Stephen King ended with the group staying at an abandoned motel and a radio signal tells them there hope of a town they can get to. So when this movie premiered even Stephen King was shocked by the ending that he congratulated the director and the team for changing the ending.
I love your excitement over The Walking Dead characters. The reason you see multiple actors from The Walking Dead in the movie is because The Mist was written and directed by Frank Darabont, which is the same guy who developed the TV show! He was also involved with executive producing the first season and the first half of season 2 of the show.
I saw this in theaters and when I tell you it was so quiet after the father killed everyone. It was DEAD SILENT. I loved this movie since it’s realistic. Not everyone gets a happy ending in stories
I'm not 100% sure, but I've heard that Stephen King absolutely *loved* the movie ending and was genuinely upset (in a good way) that he hadn't come up with it himself
@@ahoyforsenchou7288He also has a knack for writing good stories that get turned into terrible movies lol. Seems it's always one or the other with no in between
@@ahoyforsenchou7288 Even more appropriately, it's also a running joke (that was even acknowledged in IT chapter 2 via his self-insert character) that he never knows how to end something. Specifically fixing the ending is pretty standard for a King adaptation lol
The “vampire” military dude actually played a vampire lol, in a shower called being human. It was pretty decent. Also this movie was craaazy and it showed pretty well how people would react in crisis situations, glad you liked it! Can’t wait to see more reactions 👍👍
I was just about to comment this very thing. Glad I checked to see if anyone else did first. Sam Witwer has been in a lot of stuff. From BSG - He came close to killing Callie, but was sadly stopped before he could pull the trigger - to Dexter - funny thing about that is he was in the same season as Mark Pellegrino, who played, amongst many other things, Bishop in Being human. He's also done a TON of voice acting for Star Wars games and animated series. Dude has voiced Maul, Palpatine AND Starkiller.
@5:55 "...Bye Norrrrm" LOLLLLLL! @13:41 "What's up witchu?" @17:52 "Smell ya later!" LOL this movie reaction had me cracking up, thank goodness. This movie is disturbing, the type of movie you only see once, and you'll NEVER forget! Love your channel very much, currently binging! Can't wait for what's next! :)
The funny thing about the religious lady is that everything she said came true, right down to sacrificing the boy. It's a neat detail that you have to think back on.
@@that.ll_do_pig king loves to include religion (and how it can be used for evil) in a lot of his stories. The Stand is almost entirely about religion, and is also heavily apocalyptic like this one.
I remember the religious lady came to my elementary school a few yrs after this movie came out and was super sweet but I could NOT shed the fact that her character was as intense and scary as she was.
I particularly like Stephen King because he portays people in a very realistic, raw way. People in his books are often characterized more by their flaws and human nature rather than being romanticized or overly heroic. He makes ugly interesting.
I love this movie. The fact that it had the balls to go with the wtf/sad ending, was amazing. Plus some bonus stuffs: The "vampire" military guy plays Starkiller in The Force Unleashed games and has a twitch channel where he plays mainly star wars games. This movie is considered a part of The Thing universe or at least the H.P. Lovecraft universe - Might be why you got the cthulhu vibe from the monsters.
YOOOO! That a great point bro, I can't even imagine if Chris Pratt was the lead role in this film. This movie would for sure be completely different...
Frank Darabond(?) who also did the 1st season of walking dead likes workin with those actors & they with him!😊 I believe 1 of the soldiers @ 2:06 was also in TWD, I think his character's name was Jose. Thanx 4 an awesome reaction- as always! Much love from Australia man 👍 💚🇦🇺
There's two additional Walking Dead actors in here. The "vampire" military guy who got thrown out of the store played the zombie inside the tank in episode 1, season 1 that Rick killed. The other was the hispanic military guy that hung himself in the backroom. He played Morales in TWD, which is the guy in the first season who takes his family and goes to Birmingham right before Rick and the group get to the CDC.
I know you rated the CGI poorly, but i suggest watching the directors cut, it originally was supposed to be in black and white as an homage to creature features from the 50's and 60's, so they didnt invest anywhere near the budget into CGI as they could have.
I've seen this movie a million times and the ending still fucks me up.. If he waited 5 mins... Shit less than that!! I wouldn't have been able to live on after that shit!! Good reaction video Mike!!
I think though with the way sounds are deadened a bit in heavy fog or mist, that the rumble of all those trucks, even moving slowly, would still have been loud enough to hear when they were so close to them. But it makes for a great shock ending :)
I NEVER noticed all the walking dead cast members til you mentioned it😂 I def noticed the neighbor being from Brooklyn 99 though. The ending had me crying because I loved the little kid😭
The vampire played a vampire on the American version of Being Human. He also played the tank zombie in the first season of The Walking Dead. That character had a whole backstory while he was alive that got cut. And Thomas Jane would have been rick if HBO had bought the show but they passed. By the time AMC greenlit it he wasn't available. Same director as the first season of TWD before they stupidly fired him. Now think about this. Was Mrs. Carmody right? The mist cleared when the blood of the boy was spilled. EXPIATION!
Dude, that movie is from frank darabont, the creator of the walking dead tv show. Thats why youz have dale, andreand carol in it. dale is also in every movie from darabont. like the green mile, shawshank redemption and so on...
I love this movie. A lot of people hate the ending but that's the point, it has such a massive impact. I agree with the monster CGI being poor quality and unfortunately it puts a lot of people off who now watch it for the first time. I think this would probably be an epic movie to reboot as long as they don't massively screw it up like they did in the Mist tv series (they completely changed the concept of what the mist is and it was terrible, cancelled after 1 season). I've read the book and in many ways it's a lot better (as with most of Stephen Kings work). The entire thing isn't as much a monster movie but a social commentary on the problems with human nature and society. The book ending is much different and very open ended. Stephen King himself says the movie ending is much better.
There's a fourth Walking Dead cast member in there, if you go back and look. The guy who played Morales (from S1 and a brief cameo in S8) is one of the two soldiers who opt-out in the stockroom.
How do you go on after taking out everyone like that then rescue come immediately after? Also, your reaction to seeing Carol survived & got her kids was great
I honestly don't know what kind of person would be able to. I know there are people that would, I certainly wouldn't. As soon as I was able to get another bullet, I would finish the job.
One of the other actors in this movie Co stared in Shawshank Redemption. The character that was the dad with the kid also stared in the movie The Punisher (2004).😊
The "drinking the Kool aid" line if you didn't know was in reference to the cult leader Jim Jones and the 1978 mass Murder/suicide that he orchestrated.
honestly Stephan king makes the best books to make into movies just fcked up, creepy and plot twist everywhere lol he really keeps you on the screen and literally EVERYBODY hated the ending but not everything is happy especially in this movie they don't leave room for a happy ending
I guess the most profound concept on this film was that the biggest monsters reside beneath a human skin. We all basically can become monsters, once you'll scrap off this ting layer we call a civilization and you'll see the monsters rising their heads pretty quickly. People do and believe terrible things when they are scared enough.
Saw this in theaters as a kid before I knew who Stephen King was. When it got to the part where it showed it was in Maine it scared the crap out of me (Lived in maine). Will never forget this movie.
I love this movie and Steven King we had a storm like this once luckily no aliens but a tornado hit a grocery store and we were trapped for almost a day.
I came here for the walking dead cameos and ur excitement. And the ending. My god, the saddest ending you could ask for😂 I love how it did that. Not the norm
Highly highly recommend reading this book. It’s one of King’s short stories. Only about 175 pages or so. But it’s my all time favorite Stephen King books. It has a much different ending, though I believe King wanted the ending that occurred in the movie, but the publishers advised against it
why was that dude so cool with him in the beginning and then get pissed and petty later talking about some law suit that happened between them before? you'd think that someone that angry at another wouldn't be so thankful and nice
Fun fact but the CGI is so bad because the movie wasn't originally meant to be in color. It was intended to be black and white but was later changed because the studio worried people wouldn't go see it if it was in black and white. In black and white the CGI isn't terrible but man the color did not do it justice at all.
I loved this film 😁 the though ending was so gut wrenching and sad I cried my ass off cause I wanted them to make it then all of a sudden he kills his friends and son and all of a sudden the military came....I was literally like ' Are U F***ING SERIOUS!? WHERE THE F*** WERE YALL AT THE WHOLE DAMN TIME😢🤬!?' I still cry when I watch it just the ending song made it so powerful and u just feel that sense of theres no hope no light ur basically screwed😭😭😭. I think the ending to this film caught alot of people off guard no one expected it and if anyone's read the book they drive off but in the film they did that scene omg I was gut wrenched crying and I could not speak 😢 😭
this is one of the greatest horror movies ever :) its directed by Frank Darabont, he also did The Walking Dead S1 thats why you could see multiple actors from TWD here :D
I’ve only ever seen the ending, because its like in every top 10 twist ending list. So I just never bothered watching it or don’t even look at the screen when other people are watching. Just now I skipped straight to the ending of your reaction 😂 I think I’m finally gonna give it a watch this Halloween season.
