The Mist

I knew I was in trouble when one of the main characters was a young boy, not only Felix's age but looking like Felix...

I had to wait until everyone had left at the end, cos I was embarrassed by the strength of my reaction. I can't say any more though. Spoilers.

Suffice to say it's a good film, and the ending is strong and makes no concessions.

And of course the scaring-the-baby-out theory was rather spoiled by the fact that adrenaline tends to halt labour: Evolution's way of giving primitive mothers-to-be a chance to escape danger... and also a reason why fear is the last thing you need during childbirth, and you should do everything in your power to ensure labouring mothers remain relaxed...

Still, I've had lots of contractions today (but not during the film - like I said, adrenaline). So. Fingers crossed.
