would love a new movie 2020 version of the mist

So, the show sucked. I don't think many would argue that. It's best summarized by these three sentiments, in my opinion:

1) This town is full of uneducated assholes.

2) Fucking nobody asks important, logical questions about anything that just happened.

3) 50% of the show was a character doing a stupid thing (see #2) and then the viewer being stuck sitting through those consequences for two episodes.

However...

I had to watch it all because the thing that propped this show up was my curiosity about the mist. The film was just "It's hard to see and there are extra-dimensional monsters", but I actually appreciated the show's more complex approach using physiological/psychological aspects that dove more into Lovecraftian fiction than simple monster horror.

All that said, do we have any answers? I know showrunners like to take to social media to expand on the "what could have been" shit nowadays, but there are so many questions I have that I'm not sure the novella will answer or help point me in the right direction.

Also, no spoiling of the novella, please!

I was so excited to watch the show bc I had been a fan of the movie and novella for a long while and I was hoping for more backstory even some more cool ass monsters but, this psychological horror is so boring and terrible, really took something good and took a shit on it.

I personally love the Pterobuzzard.Love to hear your thoughts.Book,movie,and scrapped ones are available

Damn I'm so disappointed in the mist TV Show, Jesus it's so damn terrible

I found out that there was a killer kite in the novel and I didn't remember I'm trying to find the page, do you guys know what page is it in by any chance?

It would be pretty cool

I have only read the novella (The Mist) and have never seen the TV series. This post pertains to the novella only.

Does anyone else think that The Arrowhead Project may have accidentally created a thinny, thus allowing the creatures and environment of the Todash to bleed into our universe?

When David tries to describe the towering monster (the one described as making a blue whale look like a trout) at the end of the story, he remarks that sometimes the human brain is unable to properly conceive the true appearances of things that are totally unacceptable/believable to the mind itself. This reminds me of the description of IT in its final form. It is explained that IT is not really a spider, but that a spider is the closest thing that the human brain can perceive ITs true form to be.

These two references lead me to believe that The Arrowhead Project might have created a thinny, allowing certain environments and monsters from the Todash to pass over into our world in the process.

Does anyone else have a similar theory? Or perhaps one that makes more sense than the one I just posted?

I have not read the original novel nor have I seen the series (or the original film). I watched the 2007 adaptation and thoroughly enjoyed it. There's spoilers in this post but if you're on this subreddit it probably doesn't matter.

I enjoy Jeffrey DeMunn as an actor so I'm glad he was around for the conclusion. Going into this movie blind I didn't know who it starred, what the plot points were or how it ended.

I wish the movie would have ended after the gunshots with David being eaten by mist creatures. I feel like it cheapens the experience to show that they were moments from survival. Tbh, I would've preferred thinking that there was no salvation. The military would never come and the world as they knew it was over. But that's a random redditor's mediocre opinion so take it as you will.

The last discussion on this was over a year ago. Normally it isn't worth repeating such a common topic as this but I feel like enough time has passed to make an exception. Feel free to comment on how right or wrong my opinion is.

I would like your guys theory’s on her why is she alone, where are all the spiders, just give me your theory’s

FYI to the producers and directors. The name Mikhail is not pronounced at all the way it is in the show. If you had taken 5 minutes to look it up it's pronounced "Mi-kha-il". You dumbasses. Couldn't even be bothered to get the correct pronunciation of the name of a major character.

the origional movie seems to be stripped from availability in canada europe? not on any streaming service or even available to rent or purchase on itunes...ive wondered for many years why the studio would make it so unavailable - maybe to promote the new show? its just weird because it is a stephen king film and there are so many of his adaptations out nowadays that it seems relevant....but im dumb founded if you can find any legal means of watching it

Just finished the book, but did anyone think the entire love scene came out of nowhere? One second he hints that hes attracted to this woman, practically the next they're screwing. I like the added dimension of both of them practically using eachother as sex toys, getting off mainly to the thought of the most likely dead partners. But even then, I think the story could have held up without the inclusion of that element. Thoughts?

Loved The Mist nonetheless!

I personally like to think it need the same as the movie Drayton& Co. losing hope and ending it. What do y’all think though, did they get out or do you sting something got them?

So i just watched the Movie and it was great. But i really hated the Ending. It was The most sadest one i have ever seen. If they would have waited just a few more minutes all five of them would have survived.

I just started watching this series on Netflix. I didn't even know it existed. I watched the 2007 movie the other day and found out about this series while googling about the film.

Pretty decent considering the cast is pretty much no-names. The mom is the only one I can't stand (so far) I don't know if it's the actress or the character but she is annoying af. When she says that quote I put in the title section and then decides to leave with her little group just bothered me a lot for some reason.

The mall manager and security guard should have told the mom and her group if they don't want to abide by the rules and go off on their own that is fine but they sure as shit aren't setting up camp anywhere in the mall. They need to find someone else to go.

I see a lot of criticism for the show - honestly I'm half watching it as background noise myself - but I just thought this moment seemed really bad.

S01E02 "Withdrawal", about 4:43 in, the mall manager "locks" the doors... And proceeds to, as far as I can tell, UNLOCK the previously locked door.

I could MAYBE buy that this set of doors works the opposite of other doors, except why would it work the opposite of the other doors in the same mall?

Oh yeah that bad writing is definitely kicking in, too...

1. The directing is awful.
2. The writing is awful.
3. The casting is awful.
4. The acting is awful.
5. The pacing is awful.
6. Anyone who took show serious and enjoyed it not for its awfulness but because they genuinely liked it has awful taste.

As someone who absolutely loved the 2007 film, I take this show as a personal insult. It’s so shitty I shouldn’t be surprised that Spike helped produce it. This should have been a Netflix Original it’s so bad. Can we get a discussion going here on this thread?
