    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Stephen King says that he was genuinely frightened by this adaption of his novella. Frank Darabont described that as the happiest moment of his career.
    • Goofs
      The headline "Electric storm largest on record" on The Castle Rock Times is accompanied by "placeholder" text, commonly known in the publishing and design world as "Lorem Ipsum"- a derivative of Latin that is meant to have no meaning. Same for the text underneath the "Celebrating Heritage" blurb above the masthead.
    • Quotes

      Amanda Dunfrey: You don't have much faith in humanity, do you?

      Dan Miller: None, whatsoever.

      Amanda Dunfrey: I can't accept that. People are basically good; decent. My god, David, we're a civilized society.

      David Drayton: Sure, as long as the machines are working and you can dial 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them - no more rules.

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits begin as the song at the end of the film fades out. As the end credits roll up the screen, the sounds of military vehicles (helicopters, tanks, APCs, etc.) can be heard over the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Screenwriter and Director Frank Darabont wanted the movie to be shown in black and white. Eventually it was filmed in color but a black and white version of the movie is on the 2-disc DVD release.
    • Connections
      Featured in Siskel & Ebert: Beowulf/Margot at the Wedding/Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium/Enchanted/Southland Tales/Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)

    BEST ending of any movie ever!
    Frank Darabont is something else. They really did him wrong on The Walking Dead. Although I loved the first 7 or 8 seasons of the show, season 1 and 2 were on another level. In the end, Darabont no longer being a part of the show really came back to bite them. Now, back to The Mist...

    If you're watching it and mid way thinking it just ain't for you, please stick with it. Trust me... the ending will pay off. The last 5 minutes more than make up for the time invested. The acting, writing, cinematography, THE MUSIC, all top top tier. Has Frank Darabont ever done anything that wasn't above average? I can't think of anything.
