depends very much when you saw it, this movie might not seem as original now as it felt when it came out, loads of copycats afterwards, but the "melodramatic bollocks" it's really harsh and i don't think technically, visually, and audio this film has any unaccomplishments

Easy Rider - the final scene in that is the only time I've sat on my couch, joint in hand, for a good 20 minutes just staring at the wall.

He should have idkfa, and iddqd'd, or stolen a cops gun at the end. Suicide is more fun in groups.

Actually, now I think about it the ending to The Mist left me pretty cold inside too.
The Mist was spoiled by the acting of the person who plays the main protagonist. That particular scene at the end made me laugh. Kinda spoiled the film for me

if you mean uncomfortably numb as in bored shitless & claustrophobic.
