One of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
Fuck it, I'll take it one step further. One of the best movies I've ever seen.
Did you notice at the end, after he kills everybody in the car, how the mist mysteriously goes away a minute later? They've been driving for hours, and then they stop, he does his awful deed, and then gets out of the car, and BOOM, no more mist. I think there's something intentional there, almost as if the mist was waiting for him to fuck up, like the mist was following him and torturing him, only to say "Surprise! I'm gone!" after he did what he did. That's how I interpret it, anyway... like the mist has a mind of its own.
Maybe the title "The Mist" could be interpreted as "The Missed" as well, since its about missed opportunities for survival, or missed opportunities for saving someone / living.
