You want to see a feel good movie for the holidays? Then get your ass to see The Mist. I don’t give a flying fuck what anyone else has said about the movie. I’m telling you here and now that if you want to walk out of a movie and feel good about yourself, feel good about your life, however miserable it may be, THIS is the movie to see.
Let me be clear about this. The Mist is one fucked up movie. One REALLY fucked up movie. And I’m not just talking about the premise. (A bunch of people in a small New England town get trapped in their local supermarket by terrifying horrible creatures not of this earth.) I’m talking about the whole thing. Right up to the gut punch of an ending that literally had me speechless, staring at the credits with my mouth agape as the end credits rolled. No, I’m not going to ruin the ending or anything, that’s not my thing. I just want you to know that I haven’t seen a movie that devastated me like this in a long, long time.
So where do I get off calling The Mist a “feel good” movie? Well let me tell you. Never before in cinematic history have I ever been so glad to NOT be a character from a movie. Never before have I walked out of a theatre and thought “Shit, I thought I had problems, but those people in that supermarket… they’re fucked.”
From now on, whenever I’m feeling down, whenever that overwhelming sense of anxiety sweeps over me, whenever I just want to throw my hands in the air and give up, I’m gonna pop a copy of The Mist into my DVD player. Cause nothing will make you appreciate your shitty life more than this complete mind fuck of a movie.
So do yourself a favor and see The Mist. It will make you feel great about your miserable existance.
