The Mist IRL

That has some The Mist vibes going for it.
Allegedly, the ending differed from the book, but Stephen King preferred the ending to the movie due to its darker nature.
The movie ending struck me as senseless and unearned. The short story ended much better, in my opinion. Still on the run, no apparent end to the mist, no military showing up to save the day. Darker, in my book.
That is a valid perspective.
It’s been 20+ years and I’ll never forget that ending. Totally messed up.
The ending was most of why I made my wife watch the movie. She agreed it was worth it.
