The book's ending is much less depressing than the movie's.

I have to say that, while I'm normally disappointed with the endings of Stephen King film adaptations, I'm glad The Mist's was changed. I like the movie's ending better.

And I definitely think the movie works better in black and white, too.

I thought the ending to The Mist was perfect, i bought this movie on blu ray as a blind buy for £8.00 what an excellent buy. Ive still to watch the black and white version though.
