I really don't want to say I saw this movie. It sucks!

Is this a top-notch suspense movie? horror film?

After looking at a bunch of half-carcasses, oversized octopuses, dead people, bugs, and weird, hairless, pink-skinned birds, I just wondered how the master Stephen King brought this story to an end.

Sorry, I'm going to spoil things because this movie sucks. He ended the lives of four of his companions with bullets, preparing himself to be eaten by monsters in agony, but then the army came, and those who were still alive were saved. In the words of the Martians, it is 囧rz.

I really felt the Hollywood culture through and through, with all kinds of gimmicks and horror pictures (it is said that the horror pictures of this film are already considered good in American horror movies), the effect of sitting in the cinema must be more shocking, those flying How much did the flying monsters and the half-body model cost? After a feast for the senses, there is nothing left - neither good nor evil, just a hilarious and bloody farce. It really feels like being played by the director.

Cinema as mass culture and consumer goods. Being scolded by the boss during the day, sitting in the movie theater at night, the boss is the poor guy who was caught by the octopus monster, or some old testament believer beside you who is chattering and stubborn, like the one in the movie. Bullets always shut up. Be cool. After dark and cool, seeing such a nonsensical ending again, the tension is completely gone, and I can go home and sleep happily.

Hearing similar remarks again - yes, another test of humanity? I really don't know what to think about. I don't mean to say that people are very timid, and they are very timid. Yes, religion is born from here, and regret and tragedy are also born in this way. But, please, don't "exposed" this so-called weakness of human nature in an illogical ending. Killed his companion and son a second later (friends who haven't seen the movie: they have to escape, no oil, 5 people, 4 bullets, he euthanized 4 people including his son, he plans to be eaten by monsters , and then, as soon as he opened the car door, the army freed them), what's the difference? Yes, possible to be saved, so what? Everyone who knows the conclusion can say after the fact, "Human nature can't stand the test. Wouldn't they be saved if they were killed a minute later?"

It's the genius of a Hollywood director. Make everyone who watches the movie feel smart, deep, and thinking. While everyone else is starting to think and try to tell me what this movie is about, I'd better shut up and be silent. I only trust my own judgment.

This is the first time I have emotionally written a review for a bad movie. It seems that I can't watch it in the future if anyone recommends it.

The Mist quotes

  • Wayne Jessup: I heard stuff.

    Mrs. Carmody: Stuff...

    Wayne Jessup: Yeah, we all heard stuff! Like uh, how they... they thought that there were other dimensions. You know, other... other worlds all around us, and how they wanted to try to make a window, you know, so they can look through and see what's on the other side.

    Mrs. Carmody: Well maybe your window turned out to be a door. Isn't it?

    Wayne Jessup: Not my door! It's the scientists!

    Mrs. Carmody: [sarcastically] Oh, the scientists.

    Wayne Jessup: Yes, the scientists! They must've ripped a hole through by accident. That's how their world keeps on spilling through into ours. That's what Donaldson was saying right before he killed himself. I didn't understand half of it.

  • Dan Miller: [after the car runs out of gas] Well, we gave it a good shot. Nobody can say we didn't.
