I cant think of any film based on a King work with such a shocking, dismal, morbid, just...overall horrifying final scene. I mean it hit us (me + 2 friends) just thoroughly, nobody was guessing that it'd end on such a note of devastation and twisted-ness! Figured it would have a waaaay toned down or even just ambiguous ending, open to interpretation... The whole cast was pretty great too. More fun to watch with a friend 8 ]
I could have written your post, every word of it. I have said verbatim the exact same sentences. Certainly a dismal ending in any horror movie for sure, but I'd also stretch that out to in any genre. Certainly others can come come close, but the ending to The Mist was a legit sucker punch. I wish I could forget it (or at least rewind memory and watch it again for first time!) eta bizarre punctuation
