Before the Silence
There is a lot more detail in this than what this pic shows. I'll maybe post a higher res version later.
Unrelated: The Mist is a fantastic classic horror movie. One of those where despite the unspeakably mind-breaking cthulhu like monsters, its the human characters that are by far the most monstrous. Like some of my other favorite horror movies (John Carpenter's The Thing, Session Nine, this is one that is much more about what happens when people's minds and society break than just gore, guts and terrible dialog (hostel, saw XVI anyone?). And what other stories can say they inspired both Silent Hill and Half-Life?
What makes the movie so damn good is that the actions of the characters are so believable. The decisions they make seem quite reasonable given the circumstances and whats so scary about it is just how quickly people will do anything if you scare them enough. Its a fine fine dance between religion and sanity with one of the best endings i've seen in any movie in quite some time.

I loved The Mist...until the ending. The ending ruined the movie. I didn't know why the story deviated from the novella. I thought that riding off into the mist without any idea of what lies ahead was a perfect ending. It gives people a sense that this is not the end but the beginning.
