What is it?
Screen grab from the final scene of The Mist (2007).
Tap for spoiler
The father in the driver seat shoots everybody else in the car as an act of mercy to save them from a certain death by the monsters in the movie. Goes to turn the gun on himself only to be met with an empty chamber. Mere moments later, military vehicles emerge from the mist to take on the monsters. If he had waited legitimately 2 more minutes everybody in the car would have been saved.Vague to avoid spoilers. Must be Mandela effect. I remember it being passed around to each person. Which honestly made it more horrible.
I accidentally found this when I was searching for the ending.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping to be Rick Rolled and you actually posted the ending

I mean. It was slightly tweaked.
The move "The Mist" which ends with uh...
a questionable choice of action taken by an entire family immediately revealed to be incorrect before the credits roll.
My favourite bit of trivia from that movie was that Stephen King watched it and was furious by the ending because he wished he’d thought of such a grim ending when he wrote the book.
That seems to happen to a lot of adaptations of his work. I think he may have even admitted that he's not great at ending what he starts.
He's my favorite author, up there with Pratchett anyway, and yes he's said that. He doesn't plan anything, just sits down and starts hammering it out. He's so engrossed in writing the tale, he doesn't want it to end, doesn't plan that part.
It's in the end of the last Dark Tower book. What he wrote can be reworded as 'Do you have sex only for the orgasm alone, or for the whole process of it?'. And it wasn't the weirdest part of said series.
Yeah Stephen King probably wrote some ending about having to sacrifice a child and then it showing up before the credits as a ghost with the other dead children in a dreamworld. I have no idea, just guessing.
He left the ending ambiguous for the reader to imagine what happens. He missed out on twisting the knife.
They're not a family but one of them is the main guy's son

I just watched an edited version of the ending video on YouTube. Basically this family is trapped in a supermarket and terrified of a giant kaiju-type bug attack going on.The story revolves around the groups of people at the store trying to survive.
Immediately after this screenshot in the meme, the father kills his entire family, leaves the car, and sees a MASSIVE caravan of military personnel escorting survivors out of the titular mist and using flamethrowers to burn away the bugs and mist.
Most of the folks from the supermarket are seen in these trucks.
The Mist
A Stephen King movie from 2007. It's worth a watch. You can find YouTube videos about the ending, but it's obviously going to spoil the movie if you're planning to watch it.
