Does this movie absolutely terrify anyone else?
Even just thinking about it, I feel uncomfortable.
>>71264363
Movie was pretty gud, but only the ending left me uncomfortable.
They're making tv series.
>>71264363
did u know, inside u is a skelly
Idk why but i really like the scene when they fight the tentacle monster in the garage and when it rips out a part of some guys chest
I felt the same way OP, until they started showing the aliens too much
fear of the unknown is absolutely terrifying though
man i hated that ending so much
It felt like a spiritual successor to The Thing
>>71264747
I never understood understand why the chopped tentacle de-materializes though.
>>71264959
thats ... the mist
>>71264922
Are you kidding? The ending was some of the greatest kino of all time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4nZUEkAsw8
ending was fucking great
Good film, ending especially.
>>71265020
come on man,
supposedly the sacrifice prophecy came true?
the military were ALREADY on their way
>>71265023
Was kinda refreshing that the military wiped out the monsters unlike most movies of this kind.
shit film overall with 2 excellent scenes that saved it:
the civil war scene where the religious people feed the military guy to the preying mantis (and then all chaos break out and the religious bitch gets her head blown off)
and the ending scene where they drive through the post apocalypse and the protag kills his whole family for no reason
the rest of the movie is fucking trash. some of the most boring monster design of any horror movie ever. the only intimidating creature is the preying mantis monster, and thats only because they dont show it. the tentacle monster, giant bugs, and pterodactyls look like something out of a Syfy made for TV movie. It also drags on for way too long, nothing fucking happens for a solid 30 minutes in the middle of the film
shit movie, GOAT ending to a movie
>>71264363
No because the CGI and monster design were laughably bad.
>>71265418
>>71265349
I've heard that it looks better in the black and white version
>that fucking leviathan when they were driving
Best part of the whole movie
Best scene of the movie

>>71265023
shit movie. But that ending made me forget how shitty the movie was and left me scarred. Sat their stunned unable to move or think and that fooking music man, that songs of the seraphs or whatever it was. Fooking had me tearing up. Can't watch that shit. Only other goat ending was jeepers creepers, that and this movie left me scarred.
Haven't gotten to the ending of either of those. But Mist, Mist broke me up, man.
>>71265715
that was some tearfully sad shit. Fooking lost it, just lost it.
>*record scratch*
>*freeze frame*
Yup, that's me. No, not the soldier, the guy bawling his eyes out like a baby. Pretty pathetic, huh?
You're probably wondering how I ended up in this mess.
Well, here's my story...
>>71266921
SOMEBODY
>>71265646
My negro amigo. Every so often I just go on youtube to watch that scene.
>>71264363
It was good, but i just wish i could see all the monsters in their entirety, not shrouded by mist.
I get that's the point, the fact that you cant see them is what makes it scary, but i'm really interested in what they'd actually look like, and what the planet they came from looks like.
The spider scene makes me uncomfortable as fuck.
>>71267935
>but i'm really interested in what they'd actually look like, and what the planet they came from looks like.
shitty CGI. thats what it looks like
https://youtu.be/Pb6QBxqJcYw?t=1h49m2s
Leave it to the Turks to dub a movie
https://youtu.be/Pb6QBxqJcYw?t=1h49m2s
>>71264363
there was a black and white version on the special edition dvd. pretty good
>>71265172
but sacrificing would have kept the monsters at bay long enough for the people in the market to get rescued.
>>71264363
The ending reminded me of the Donner party fiasco.
>>71267935
>what they actually look like
>>71267935
I really liked the creatures, the two coolest ones were definitely the tentacle monster in the beginning and then the huge-ass 6 legged thing with the arms at the end.
Does anyone else know of any flicks/movies/films that have this same sort of "feel" to it? I understand that it's inspired by Lovecraft, but so far there doesn't seem to be too much else like it.
I've already seen In Mouth of Madness and have Dagon on my watch list, but that's about it. Any and all suggestions much appreciated.
>>71268949
The fact that you never see what the tentacles are attached to is spooky as fuck
>>71264363
The very concept of this even being remotely possible is absolute horrifying. With slightly better directing, it could have been a true horror film through and through.
I hope that someone else explores this Lovecraft-like stuff, with the "unknown" stuff being very powerful and showing little of it becoming very effective.
This cunt and her horribly pretentious acting ruined it for me.
They could have just called this movie Half Life.
>>71268988
>The fact that you never see what the tentacles are attached to is spooky as fuck
No kidding!
I thought it was so horrifying because of what the spines on the tentacles did to that guy's chest and leg...holy crap that was gut wrenching.
>>71269091
>This cunt and her horribly pretentious acting ruined it for me.
I know it's all "edgelord" and "nothing personnel" with a hint of dramatic irony but I honestly would have fucked her up a lot sooner. She was nothing but trouble the entire time
>>71268949
Honestly the 1982 version of The Thing would be perfect for you. The idea of a shapeless mindless horror from another realm that induces paranoia and panic before consuming vctms and transforming and copying them before destroying all life on Earth. HP Lovecraft would have loved that one.
>>71268949
What's the picture from?
How did the military kill that massive behemoth?
>>71265020
>5 people
>4 bullets
>doesn't put the old people head to head and shoot through both their old fragile skulls saving the last bullet for himself
>>71264363
it was good until the first cgi scene, that made me uncomfortable
Yes, yes, well done, David, well done indeedHOWEVER
>>71269260
>Honestly the 1982 version of The Thing would be perfect for you
Crap, should've mentioned The Thing. I love that movie, it's probably what inspired me to go try and find things like it. Appreciate the suggestion in any case though!
>>71269287
>What's the picture from?
Wish I could tell you, I think I saved it from some /tg/ thread about Lovecraft. Google search doesn't help too much either. It's a great one though and creepy as shit
>>71269091
Love the based biker that tells her off
>hey lady I believe in God too, I just don't think he's the vengeful asshole you make him out to be
There were a lot of great characters.
>pistol champ wally
>moustache man
>biker dude that gets torn in half making a run for the shotgun
>black guy that ain't havin nunna dat shit
>>71264363
i got a handjob during this in theaters and dont remember that creature at fucking all
yeah it was pretty creepy
I love the director for trying out so many fresh actors.
>loses his family because of monsters
I want to see the sequel where he becomes the punisher again
>>71269697
Are you joking? He casts the same people in everything he does.
>>71269885
yeah what I meant is that they're not big names, at least they weren't until TWD
>>71269885
This. It's literally the walking dead, interdimensional demon insect edition.

You're welcome to join my ka-tet anytime, brother.
Tentacally monsters are the most safe, boring, shitty ideas for a monster. Fuck the throw-shit-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks monster design idea.
>>71270393
:3Hedgehogs are merciless killers
>>71270393
I don't think it's supposed to be a monster flcik per se, but about isolation and fear. No one in the store knows the scope of the mist. What if it truly was the end of days and the entire world is covered in that mist? What about their friends and loved ones? If people overcome with fear then they're susceptible to bullshit like that crazy christian woman
>>71270393
That rabbit from last night made me terrified of this pic
>>71270558
Rabbit?
>>71270558
???
>>71264959
My guess was it disappeared for plot purposes so the people couldn't bring it back and show everyone and get them on board the omg tentacle monsters train that early in the movie.
>>71270558
I see. Does this rabbit talk to you frequently, anon?
>>71270617
Someone kept spamming the front page with a video of a rabbit getting killed last night.
>>71268892
I came.
>>71269985
You answered your own question.
>>71270675
lol /tv/ kids BTFO
>>71264959
happens in the book too.
>>71265020
That ending is genius. Holy fuck.
Film was good, but the idea suits a TV series better.
Mist Road Trip sounds more interesting the more I think about it; especially if they include some Dark Tower, Gygaxian, Half-Life level shit.
>>71271102
And a TV budget could work since the monsters are mostly in silhouette anyway
>>71264363
Bookfag here. Tonally I like the book ending infinitely more. The movie ending was ballsy, but the story was all about the unknown - what's out there in that mist?The book ends like that too. We're left knowing nothing because David has stopped writing and left the book at the Howard Johnson. How the fuck did we even get it? Does that mean the world was saved or we're just another fucked survivor? How safe were they indoors? They were able to make stops for gas and to go from their car to buildings, it's not like the mist was certain death.
I prefer the book ending not just because the movie ending is so absolute, but the book left me with so many frankly thrilling questions that jogged my imagination, whereas asking those same questions after the movie is more of an aftermath and debriefing.
>>71269096
As a short story The Mist was some of the inspiration for Half-Life. Specifically the rumor about the Arrowhead Project being the source of the mist, opening up another dimension.
>>71269365
I think the creatures need the mist to survive. They're not killing stuff really, just somehow getting rid of the mist and letting everything die and dissolve.
>>71269385
fucking this. It's the obvious answer.
>>71271193
Yeppers.
If they had a limited budget, we'd see a handful of properly WTF creatures every season, not a CGI vidya-fest,or the awkward halfway of the film.
They could get beyond the Mist early on, but as the show progresses it just keeps coming. So there could be cheap sets that are just normal American settings with some wartime/emergency prep tacked on, and then, like you say, relatively cheap effects masking the rest of the sets.
The trick would be making human forces not look ridiculous. You want at least one scene with a line of tanks going down an interstate, into the Mist, and (while I'm 90% sure the show will have this) I'm 90% sure they'll use CGI tanks and make it look stupid.
>>71271309
>did you just say yeppers? Michael, what did I tell you about yeppers?
>>71271309
Sounds great, I sure hope they don't disappoint.
>>71268949
>>71269287
>>71271309
>make it look stupid
As long as the tone is spot on, I don't care of it looks a bit budget. Neither should you.
>>71269069
this. the concept behind the movie was genuinely horrifying, but the shit writing/directing ruined the great premise
>>71266921
I keep reading this. What is it referencing?
>>71269925
I'm surprised they didn't get Tom Jane to play Rick. Though Lincoln turned out to be pretty good.
>>71264363
honestly, The Mist would have been completely forgettable were it not for that gut wrenching conclusion.
>>71271265
>I prefer the book ending not just because the movie ending is so absolute, but the book left me with so many frankly thrilling questions that jogged my imagination, whereas asking those same questions after the movie is more of an aftermath and debriefing.
I didn't read the book because I can't find it in any bookstores nearby, but I hate this shit so fucking much. Whenever I read a story like that, I just feel like the writer failed to give me an ending, and failed to write any kind of completion to the story. I'm not left wondering the possibilities or thiking about "what if". I always think "is thit fucking it, really?" and the whole book leaves me with a sour taste, like a series ending in a cliffhanger that won't be resolved because it was cancelled or something. Also fuck open endings.
>>71269365
It's made of flesh. The helicopters and tanks would shred it to pieces.
>>71269365
With knives.
>>71264363
It is a shit movie that should have followed the mother who left the store near the beginning to find her children and who was with her children at the very end.
>>71272477
Good job quoting a spoiler, retard.
>>71270460
You are damn right.
>>71269091
Religious wacko lady was way too over-the-top.
I would prefer more fleshed-out characters. Remember the nigger in denial? Perhaps a reason for his skepticism...
Also, the CGI has aged horribly.
>>71270913
Just reread the book a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the tentacle doesn't disappear.
>>71268949
What exactly makes something "lovecraftian"?
I see the term thrown around a lot, but I'm not entirely sure what it means
>>71271850
>google image search: thalassophobia
Pretty spooky! I tried looking up the artist but no luck : /
I've actually been looking for an image a lot like this, it's basically a dude firing a flare and it reveals a giant eldritch monster destroying another ship. Anyone by chance have an idea?
>>71273774
>Religious wacko lady was way too over-the-top.
They tend to be.
>>71265020
it's pretty good but did you really not see it coming?
>>71269091
If this movie taught me anything, it's that in the evnt of a real apocalypse, the religious nutbars have to go once they start preaching their Old Testament bullshit.
>>71273851
Uncaring universe where the lives of humans don't matter, basically. Existential dread because living is meaningless.
Monsters are optional but they're a great way of showing that the universe gives zero fucks about puny humans.
>>71273851
>What exactly makes something "lovecraftian"?
>I see the term thrown around a lot, but I'm not entirely sure what it means
It definitely does get thrown around a lot unfortunately. I'd define it as "horror of the unknown", with the unknown having the element of the occult or supernatural to it. Most of the time it contains beings which are otherworldly.
This Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmicism is actually a very good description of "Lovecraftian horror" . Basically, humans are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
>Pic unrelated
>>71274042
that pic is fuckin hot
>>71274042
>humans are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
This. Lovecraftian Horror should give the sense that humanity is a tenuous soap bubble - and whatever thing the story is focused about is a very sharp object we just landed on.
>>71265020
That old man shoulda blown everyone away how could he let a father shoot his own kid fucking stupid
>>71273897
The real point of the ending was that they abandoned hope at the end. In the short story it just ends with them driving.
The movie was made to lead you to thinking there was no way to survive. That death was imminent.
The military are a symbol that other people didn't give up in the face of the unknown, while the characters in the car did. It's supposed to be shocking because the Mist is supposed to be this super scary kill everything machine but the truth is no one knows what the fuck is there.
The only reason they freak out is seeing that big fucking thing but honestly they didn't know how many were around or even if the military couldn't just bomb them to death easily.
>>71273833
It does
>>71273851
Having a sense of being aquatic helps, otherwise being other worldly and horifying beyond human comprehension.
>>71264541
it left me laughing
>>71264363
FYI, Frank Darabont was the showrunner for the first season of The Walking Dead. The actors who portrayed Dale, Andrea, Carol and Pedro in the TWD were in this movie. Thomas Jane was set to originally play Rick Grimes in TWD, but that fell through. TWD is the bastard step-child of this movie.

That is a very apt description! It's funny but it's totally true.
>>71264363
That church lady is the only thing that was scary in that movie.
>>71265020
>not having the Jackass crew in a giant shopping cart appear out of the mist
What could have been...

Getting your hands on an actual Abrams is too hard for a tv show. They'll ending up using a chieftain or M60. If you're lucky, they'll dress it up like an Abrams. Jericho did this and it worked pretty well.
The scary part of the movie isn't the monsters, its the people in the movie. Like the religious lady and all the morons who follow. Like the black author guy who is so full of pride he won't even listen to the people around him trying to warn him
>>71273540

>>71264959
It's a trope from horror that tends to carry over. Lovecraft did it a lot. Lots of stuff in the genre tend to use it as a plot device to be one of those things where nobody believes the witnesses.
Kinda like that dancing frog from those old WB cartoons.

It's from I can't connect with people socially so I repeat memes: The Movie.

>>71273851
According to /tv/: anything that involves creepy, big monsters and oceans.
Actual meaning: movies/shows with a recurring "fear of the unknown" or "cosmic horror" theme, with characters often having nihilist views about life and existence in general.
In short, stuff for fedora tippers and edgelords. Lovecraft was an overrated hack.
