Disturbia threw in the towel and began using cheap tactics to get jumps from the audience instead of using things like suspense and atmosphere. Usually I don't mind a movie going the cheap route, but they had been doing well up until the end, it was disappointing.
Also they ended the movie with the
teens having one last wacky afternoon, instead of, you know, wrapping up the loose ends concerning the multiple homicide next door.
And they killed the cop, for no reason other than to kill him.
As for The Mist, it depends what you went into it expecting. If you wanted a monster flick, you were probably disappointed (as were a lot of people who saw it thanks to the misleading ad campaign). If instead, you rewatch and consider the tremendous evils inside of humanity that come loose in situations of life and death, thats a brazzilion times scarier than extra dimensional monsters. As for the ending,
can you imagine the abject horror and despair of a man who has just shot four other humans, including his young child, only to discover that had they waited a few more minutes they all could have lived happily ever after? King's works don't always deal with creepy crawlies.

Yes, it did. Until the last ten minutes or so, when the pure definitions of "deux ex machina" and "sensationalism" joined forces and shat all over the film.
