The Mist

SUPER sad show okay? Yes yes, it is a typical government project went wrong, monsters terrorize the land inside the mist.

But the show goes deeper, showing how desperate human can get when in emergency situations. How irrational human can becomes when the situation becomes so bad, how they can believe in belief which they wouldn't usually just because it gave them hope of survival. How they can unreasonably killed anyone just for the sake of thinking they might live.

The main lead is not the random normal hero of any film, he is not Rambo, not the Blade, or the typical hero you would expect to see. He tries to take the lead to lead everyone to safety yet still shows just how weak and vulnerable a human can be. More reasonable human than those heroes.

The ending is the worse part of all. It is not that we can't take sad endings, but this ending is just terrible, that a supposed high rating film will be rated much lower just because of it. Of course in a land terrorized by monster, where you know there is no escape, where there is no news of any survivors or rescue missions by the military, where it is just endless mist and death, suicide is acceptable. The lead killed all his passengers, including his beloved son, and do not have a final bullet to kill himself, just went outside of the safe car, wanting to be killed by the monsters. But this is the bad part! Just seconds after he killed them all, he heard something coming. The monsters? Nope... worse... it is the army! All fully armed and prepared, destroying all the monsters and the mist is clearing right behind them with all the survivors being ferried out. How heart-wrenching can it be when you decided to end the lives of your loved one, family and friends, and the next moment, they come and tell you everything is over?!

It is a good film, really exploring into the minds of human, but the ending is just terrible, i couldn't find any other words to describe it, maybe you could? Even though i still give it a good rating for overall, just this ending alone might give you a second thought.

Rate: 8.0/10
