That deleted scene from The Mist ruins the whole point of the movie
Everyone hypes up the black and white alternate ending where you hear the military rolling in after the grocery store scene. But I actually found a raw cut online that shows the original planned ending from 2007 where the main character just walks off into the fog. No dramatic music, no closure. That version felt more honest because it didn't spoon-feed you hope. Anyone else prefer the bitter version over what they actually released?

That bitter ending feels like expecting a refund but getting store credit instead.

Oh man, I used to be all about that theatrical ending, thought it was the only way to go. But you're right, that raw cut where he just walks off feels way more real and doesn't try to trick you into feeling okay about it. Definitely changed my mind on the whole thing.
