An horrific story ends horrifically. What's wrong with that?

how was it dumb UNTIL the ending? the entire script was smart, using religion as the driving tool of horror rather than the creatures in the mist. the whole film deserves to be dissected and talked about in regards to it's allegory about religion and fear-mongering.

It was pretty clichd. And overacted.

Agreed. The ending was brilliant. The movie was a 6 at best. The ending was a 9!

It's not that everyone died. It's the contrived way they went about it.

faith, the human spirit, hope.it all got lost in the mist/fog by the end.
there's nothing contrived about that or the ending. take a deeper look next time you watch.

It's because they seemed to give up too quick.

No I wouldn't say I felt cheated. It was definitely a downer of an ending but I respect that not every movie can have a happy ending.

Nah it's not like it called for a happy ending but I didn't really buy it. The mist had been there for like 3 days at that time and they had very little information about what was happening globally. I don't see how 5 (ok, 4, the boy was sleeping) all give into this without any objections. It seems really unlikely and the ending felt too constructed.

wrongNight Of The Living Dead ending was ironic with racial overtones, so your example is lousyThe Mist ending is contrary to what the movie was about:survival against almost hopelessly impossible odds by sticking together and fighting for your lives, not acquiescing

Am I missing the joke here? It ends with humanity somehow beating the bugs.

I would've ended it with him using the 4 bullets and then getting out of the car, staring up at the monster screaming and then the credits roll. It would've still been depressing and gloomy but the deaths wouldn't have felt like they were for nothing. But either way, this is an ending I won't forget any time soon. It takes a lot to shock me because I know almost every horror movie trick in the book, but this ending was a major surprise.
