Movie Review: The Mist: 5 SUCKS!
I usually watch a bad movie and say "that was bad" and go a bout my life. I wasn't angry with the makers of Event Horizon for making a terrible movie, nor was I pissed off at the makers of Oh Brother Where Art Thou for making a bad movie that a lot of people seemed to like.
But The Mist Sucked, and I'll tell you why. Don't read further you don't want to know how it ends.
I actually was enjoying the movie until the last 5 minutes. It wasn't a good movie by any means, but it was tolerable entertainment.
The main character, his boy, and 3 others escape the supermarket in a car and attempt to drive out of the mist, and eventually they run out of gas - still in the mist, still surrounded by the sounds of horribly nasty creatures.
5 people in the car, and four bullets. The adults all seem to agree that suicide is the best route, and the main character shoots the other four passengers - including his own son.
Then he gets out of the car, and is rescued mere MOMENTS after shooting his own son.
Worst possible ending. No wonder nobody went to see it in the theater.
Nobody wants to see a movie where someone has to shoot their own kid.
Nobody.
