That ending in The Mist would have been better with no cutaway
Watched it again last night and still annoyed by how they handled the grocery store escape. Should have just faded to black when they got in the car instead of that whole time skip.

Gotta disagree hard on this one. The time skip is the whole point of that ending. Cutting to black in the car would have been way too clean and let people pretend things worked out. That reveal of the army rolling in right after he shoots everyone is the cruelest gut punch ever and makes the movie stick with you for days.

Don't think it's a different take they're offering here, it's just a small thing - @benbrown, the army doesn't roll in right after he shoots everyone, there's a whole montage of him driving home and the news spreading before that final shot with the military showing up. Still a brutal ending either way, just the sequence is a little different.
