basic human nature

watched a rather thought-inducing movie last night - The Mist. yeah i know, one of many scary-creatures-movie, but i found that the 'monsters' actually feature very little in the storyline - what seems to be the main point is how primal we humans can become, if put in an extreme situation. now this topic has been explored so many times - for example in 'Lord of the Flies' and attempts like Big Brother. How we start to turn on each other when taken out of our safety zone and left exposed to new and unknown circumstances. Its a topic thats always fascinated me, and even now, days after watching this movie, it still buzzes around in the back of my mind. The ending especially got to me - that was worse than the worst horror movie!
