by the way...the movie ending of The Mist left me wanting to smash something. that is NOT how the book ends. stupid stupid stupid ending. just ****ing AWEFUL! you should be ashamed S King.

They followed the ending from the Novel.

Spoiler!

In the novel the zombies/vampires speak. They have intelligence. They are sentient... and they're not monsters. They've found a medicine and keeps them from attacking others. The signs that they are 'intelligent' is found throughout the movie with traps and such being laid. They have communities and are trying to cure the others as they have been cured.

The main character, in the end, turns out to be the monster. He's the one sneaking into their homes while they sleep and killing them. That's where the title comes from. Test audiences hated it and so they went with a happy cure ending. Blah. I was not pleased when I first saw it. The end undermines the movie.
