I love the ending of The Mist. Whilst I can completely see why many people would view this as a rushed decision, I never thought of it that way.
Those final scenes work so well to me, with the harrowingly beautiful Dead Can Dance song in the soundtrack only emphasising the feeling of utter hopelessness.
They have run out of gas and have seen something in particular that would lead me to think I was out of luck.
After all they'd been through, I can totally see why he made the decision he did, thinking it was the best of two possibilites.
Personally, one of my favourite endings of all time. Bleak.
