The Mist

The synopsis: A heavy mist home to giant monsters rolls into a small town in Maine, leaving a group of people — including David (Thomas Jane) and his young son — stranded in a local supermarket.

The twist: Five members of the group decide they've had enough, and make a break for it in one of their trucks. Sadly the fogbank appears to go on forever, their truck runs out of gas, and everyone becomes so depressed at the thought of being an afternoon snack for one of the monsters that they decide suicide is a better bet. The gun only has four bullets, however, so David agrees to shoot them all, and sacrifice himself to the monsters. After he's done killing everyone (including his son — rough), the Army conveniently shows up to save the day. File this under: the bleakest of bleak.

The amount of damage it'll do to your psyche: 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
