Perhaps you are but don’t know it. If you like those try The Mist and The Host, if you haven’t already.
Was The Mist one of those M.N.S. movies that ended with a big nothing? He had a few that were really good and suspenseful and then he just couldn’t close them. I don’t think I’ve seen the host. I’ll try it.
I’m not sure what MNS stands for but the ending has it’s fans (including me) and detractors.
Bong Joon-ho has gone on to win an Oscar for Parasite but his earlier films are still solid, The Host being a personal favourite.
I liked Parasite.
M.Night Shamalan. Some had great beginnings and blah endings. I thought The Mist was one of his.
Ahhhh gotcha. No it’s a Frank Darabont adaptation of a Stephen King novella and if anyone can adapt King well, it’s Darabont.
Huge Stephen King fan. Not sure how i missed that. Thanks!
Well then, definitely give it a spin. It does diverge a bit from the original story but I’m a big fan.
Watched it last night. The ending…Uggghhh! Like a knife in your heart! Good rec! Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Some people don’t like the ending, possibly because it is too manipulative. However, I love it - it’s a punch to the gut and made me shed a tear.
