The Mist - Horror Group Reaction FIRST TIME 

"Something wrong with Stephen King". He actually did not think up of this ending and was an aspect of the movie adaptation and he actually loved the change.

The ending is one of the most fucked up and most controversial endings in horror film history.

Everybody: 😮😯😳😵 Chris: 🙂

The ultimate message of this movie is to never give up hope. Giving up hope is why the ending is so tragic.

The dichotomy of Pat: 40:22 "Yeah, makes sense." 41:22 "He couldn't wait 5 minutes?!?"

Fun fact: The main character in this movie was going to be the original Rick Grimes. But his schedule conflicted at the time so they chose Andrew Lincoln. Frank Darabont likes to work with the same group of actors on all his projects.

From Rana cussing in Arabic to Pat thinking sperm is flying in the air, this is one the funniest reactions I've watched. Lmao😂

I SWEAR THIS REACTION WAS OUT OF NOWHERE. LOVE THIS!

To this day, there hasn't been an ending to a movie that has left me more shocked, devastated, and just in utter disbelief.

Imagine impressing the author so much with the movie that he considers the ending far better than what he had written! What a truly dark ending!

Pat being so mad at the people who talked a big game as if he wouldn’t be one of the first to get eaten because he thinks he can fight the monsters off with his bare fists 🤣

Pat being the first one to fall for the cult is both hilarious and expected. He fell for the cult before the people in the movie -- and they're SCRIPTED to do it. 🤣🤣🤣

They actually cast Melissa McBride as Carol because of her part in The Mist. Before this, she was actually a casting director who only appeared in small roles here and there. But because of her performance in this, they thought she'd be perfect for Carol specifically because of the Sofia storyline.

Fun fact: In Stephen Kings IT, Pennywise came from another dimension called the Macroverse, thousands of years ago. The creatures in the Mist also came from another dimension after the government opened a portal during the Arrowhead project. There’s a very good chance that that dimension was the Macroverse considering the fact that most, if not all, of Stephen Kings books are connected. That would mean these monsters and IT are from the same place. Very interesting.

Message at the end. Don't be so quick to abandon all hope. Help might be just around the corner... or 30 seconds behind you.

I saw this for the first time at work, years back when I worked over nights. I actually stood up and said out loud "SHUT THE F*CK UP", when that tank came rolling out of the mist, old sad ass song blaring back on that we'd been hearing. That man will never be right, he's gone, bro. If the eldritch terrors he witnessed didn't crack him up already, then the knowledge of killing his son and fellow survivors just minutes away from rescue, will surely have him in a padded cell the rest of his days. You don't transition back to doing art commissions for studios after that

It seems you didn't quite find out so fun fact; the movie's ending was in fact NOT written by Stephen King, as the book had a totally different ending and Stephen King himself very famously commented after watching the movie's ending that he WISHES he'd come up with it.

14:01 R.I.P Andre Braugher (captain Holt) 😢

“I was state champion in 94.” -guy in the movie “Dude said he was a 94 time champion.” -Pat Pat is hilarious, man. 😂😂

The ending always gets people!

If you see a Walking Dead actor call it out, 2 min later they show Andrea(Laurie Holden) no one says a word.

GUYS THE ARMY 🪖 GUY THAT GOT STABBED WAS THE VOICE ACTOR OF DARTH MAUL & STAR KILLER 👍🏿

the mist is super good. Underrated. And everyone talks about the ending but the rest of the movie is great too.

Pat would definitely be tricked into joining a cult. 😂

If you want to adapt a Stephen King novel into a movie then get Frank Darabont. Shawshank, The Green Mile and The Mist are all bangers.

I remember watching this movie as a kid and lo and behold, the next day, when it was time to go to the bus stop, it was really foggy outside. I was f*cking terrified, but my momma said I still had to go to school.

I love how they constantly scream "Don't scream" as though in a stressful situation you can control that

The ending man...

I don’t understand how Pat survives everyday life

This group absolutely has to see Midnight Mass.

Mrs. Carmody said they needed the kid for a sacrifice and The mist went away after the kid died...

Yup, Pat will be the first one to join the cult when SHTF

omg Rana immediately turns into a psychopath the second there's a hint of a crisis

Andrea, Dale and Carol from TWD❤

Poor Rana and Navi were so scared. I want to hug them both

Fun fact: The ending of the novel is just the characters driving with the main character noting he has 4 bullets left. Also, I'm just curious, but have any of you not seen Jaws cause that is a must watch?

I love Pat being acting like he wouldn't have been Mrs Carmodys first disciple.

Pat ruins every emotional moment in a reaction.

I’m so glad this movie has gained popularity over time. Saw it in theaters & loved it for what it was, a great B movie. It was so rare to find anyone who had mostly positive things about this movie for a long time.

THE MIST?!? I didn't even know I needed this.

I love watching these guys panic in a situation they are not in😅

Congrats Rana for the wedding 🎉🎉

Pat: Pffft - there is nothing scary about a mist. Also Pat: I'M GOING TO CHURCH!!

The Walking Dead season one up in here. Andrea,Carol,Morales and Dale.

Idc what anybody says you’re not waiting to be eaten alive when you have a gun sitting next to you. The ending was the most rational and logical thing to do. There has been no sign of help for days and your car died in the middle of a the mist you have no clue how far the mist has gotten and you’re hearing creatures outside. You’re not waiting. Trust me

Rana was the only one who didn't make jokes about the ending.

A lot of people dont know but it was originally supposed to be in black and white which helps the effects look MUCH BETTER as well as creepier. The entire movie feels different when you watch it in that version which I think you can find online or DVD. I recommend it

Another thing I find interesting about this movie when I zoom my perspective out to a macro level is, you know how in super hero shows like Spiderman there are many situations where they accidentally open portals to other dimensions, even the movie Pacific Rim, and although things look bleak sometimes we usually see things from the perspective of the powerful hero of the movie. However the Mist, this movie shows you how normal people would experience the result of a portal opening up and allowing entities from it's dimension to invade us and we have nobody here with super powers.

i saw this when i was like 13 the ending had me FUCKED up

Absolutely devastating and legendary ending

Stephen King's ending just has them driving into the mist. King said he hated the movie ending, cos he wish he'd written it :)

The easter egg of the dark tower at the beginning is so fun to fans As you see, The Dark Tower is the physical represention of Gan, who is basically God in King's universe, and it's on charge of maintaining the equilibrium of all the worlds and universes Out of the limits of the Tower there's the Todash Darkness, where the chaos reigns, and a lot of demonic beings live. The main villain of the saga, the Crimson King, tries to destroy the beams of the tower to destroy all universes, causing a lot of these portals full of monsters to open in the normal world. Pennywise from It also comes from the Todash, The Outsider from The Outsider, Tak from Desperation, as well as a lot of King villains like Barrow from Salem's Lot.

i feel like every time pat is on a reaction, hes consistently and wildly wrong about everything UNTIL he drops one clairvoyant-level prediction that no one believes

I remember crying when I first saw this film. I laughed because I knew you all would be floored by the ending. I think you guys should react to "Abigail". I think it would be really entertaining.

People are saying the original ending was not as bleak, but it literally ends with the world being completely overrun with the Mist and humanity all dying, with an implication that the father was just happy to eventually die with his son.

It's kidda surprise when they've not watched this movie yet. The ending has been stucking in my mind for a very long time.

Chris, that smile in the last scene was diabolical lolol

Spidey and Chris screaming at the baby spiders made my day 29:07

Yall should watch "The Fog" 👀👀👀

The picture that Drayton is working on - the cowboy holding a rose in front of a dark tower - made me throw out my neck in excitement. A Frank Darabont-directed series based on King's DARK TOWER books would be the best series ever. Literally ever.

Remember seeing this with my dad at the movie theaters when it came out and when that ending happened… it left both of us shocked

I know it was a sad moment but I couldn’t stop laughing at Chris smiling at the reveal at the end.

Hello guys. Carol taking care of children😆. Several TWD alumni in this film.

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. "My life for you." is another King quote in "The Stand". 10. The cool thing about this story is, since the creatures are from a different dimension, they could be anything. 11. Stephen King. You're welcome🤩 PS: David promised Billy he wouldn't let the monsters get him.

41:44 Carol survive!!!! lmao ps. i could not believe you guys never saw this "good" movie before.

54:24 he didn’t want to wait because his son was sleeping & he wanted his son to just never wake up / not experience fear. Priority A: monsters don’t get him. Priority B: kid doesn’t suffer/know he’s about to die

Such an awesome reaction. You guys were so animated, I was grinning the whole time! I love how invested you were. So much fun.

Saw this with my dad when I was 14. At the ending I screamed out "No fucking way!" Dad said "You know, you're not even in trouble, that's fucked up."

I. love.. this ending... and I'll explain why. 1)the original books ending: leave 'em guessing, just a remark that there are 4 bullets the audience contemplates the awful repercussions; it's good narratively. the cult didn't know, the protagonists don't know; and you don't know either 2) you could have the tanks pull up right as they run out of gas after the "4 bullets" conversation; end it on a hopeful note, okay our protagonists chose wisely- never give up. It's a 'feels good man' the level-headed prevail type of story. not a rememberable story narratively, but it's a good lesson 3) you could have a creature from the Mist eat him afterwords: have an experience of real stunning apathetic dread of that feeling beyond hopelessness- respectable ending, that's a strong narrative and a bold thing to have for an audience 'no lesson- life happens then you die kid' But This to have this horrifying remarkable lesson that hopelessness can be wrong; and that this in itself could be worse that hopelessness can have absolute cost in the face of hope unseen. this ending is just so much more powerful than the first 2 combined it leaves you contemplative like ending 1 it stands to toe to toe lesson with 2 and it utterly OVERWHELMS 3 in efficacy. this ending was literally stunning the 1st time I saw it, just awe-inspiring dread, elevates this story to a masterwork of horror. I am 100% in agreement with Stephen King this ending trumps all the others, this was the STRONGEST ending to the story possible and i respect the shit out of those that wrote this.

You guys should DEFINITELY watch/react to the French movie "Vermines" or "Infested" (english title). Seriously react to it with the French audio, eng subtitles. REALLY amazing infestation movie - WHOEVER IS ON THEIR PATREON, MAKE SURE TO SUGGEST IT!!

The end song is called the host of seraphim by dead can dance.

We ABSOLUTELY need pat and rana reacting to the casper movies 😂. maybe even marketta and spidey w/ them.

40:19 Thomas Jane nailed that absolute incomprehensible demoralization pained screams of woe. When I was deep in my alcoholism & wanted to die I’ve scream cried just like that. ^don’t worry y’all I’m sober & no longer depressed or suicidal.

"You better tell her your name's Christina." The whole chat that starts at 33:00 had me in tears.

David kept his promise to his son - he didn't let the "monsters" get him.

Everybody recognizes Andrea, Carol and Dale from TWD but nobody ever gets Morales (he’s one of the soldiers on leave). He’s the guy with wife and two kids that didn’t go with Rick’s group in s1. Rick fought and killed him during the war with Negan in season 8.

Why is part of the movie blurred?

fun fact : hajime isayama the creator of attaque on titan was originaly planning to do this same ending for his manga ( Eren kill everyone in the rumbling and survive )

I'm not even 2 minutes in this upload, and you got me CACKLING "This ain't even scary! It's a spray bottle!" "Misty ghost all in your face" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Additionally, if no one has mentioned it before me, the creators of the Half Life game series cited this novella as a big influence on the first game...the idea of the army research facility opening a dimensional rift for creatures to invade.

Thats cicadas not locust and pats def the one that get bitten and hide it from everyone

27:26 I like it when Rana starts cursing in Arabic ... That means she genuinely shat her pants 🤣

Pat: "Don't sh*ot the kid! DON'T sh*ot the kid!" Movie: "You can''t tell me what to do!" Pat: "Pick up the gun! Pick up the gun!" Movie: "Hmm, okay."

"They died, for what..." Not just died peacefully either, his son died in fear knowing his own father was about to shoot him in the head.

Few things about the story/movie: - Carmody was right. Everything she said was true. "We want the boy!" They kill the boy, the mist clears. She was the villain, sure, but she was also 100 percent accurate with everything she said. - The army was driving the same direction the protagonists were. This means they already came from the Supermarket and most likely everyone within was rescued. - The movie was originally supposed to be in black and white. This would make the CGI less punishing and obvious.

When the movie was at cinemas as premiere movie and no one know the ending people left the auditorium completely silent. Most of them was broken for many next hours or days.

You guys should watch The Mist Tv series. That would be fun, its only one season so it would go by pretty quick. Also this ending destroyed me as a kid, trauma. Also the line "Are you being Willfully Dense?" Has been a part of my normal speech since I was a kid.

26:36 granny the mvp of this movie 😅😂🤣.

Funny how the original story was published in 1980 and yet it's a pretty spot-on allegory for post-9/11 America. This terrible thing happens and for a while we're all united, but eventually paranoia and fear makes us turn against each other. It's also a film about holding on to and losing hope. The only person in the entire film who never really gives up, the mom who leaves the store, ends up safe with her kids. Everyone else either dies or descends into mania.

Also dunno if you noticed, but the soldier who gets sacrificed, he is the dude who voices Darth Maul in Clone Wars and Rebels

I would have been in the hospital or dead if this was a drinking game everytime Pat said "Mist"😂😂😂

I like seeing people who would 100% freeze in a tense situation scream at movie characters for freezing in tense situations. > She's gonna burst Pat strikes again. Doesn't even know how biology works. Aand now he doesn't know what webs are.

37:27 my first thought was I’d ram the windows to the grocery store on my way out.

Aghhhh I’m so excited to binge this before bed omg one of my favorite horror movies of all time

This is not the ending in Stephen King’s book. It actually was ambiguous, with them still being in the car, in the Mist. (This is one of the few times when an adaptation actually had a more messed up ending than what he did). You should check out “Cujo”, then Google how the ending was different in the book.

you guys should watch The Ghost ship (2002) next. old school classic horror/mistery movie

I'm so glad someone realized that Carmody wasn't wrong. She has no idea what she's talking about. But everything she says, she's never wrong. It makes the following so much more believable. As a younger person I hated her and couldn't understand why she got her following but now on rewatches. Yeah. She's never wrong. It's insane.

i remember when I first saw this I thought I misunderstood the ending. Like it was a dream or something I was that flabbergasted by how cripplingly despairing it was

So we watching Quarantine next 😂😂😂

The universe was intriguing to me kinda felt like clover field happening in a small town wish we could get more on it either before the events of the mist or after in another location but the mystery is prolly one of the biggest drives for interest and curiosity
