Saw it on TV in the late 90s and can only remember one scene.

There are several middle aged or older people, both men and women, in a room. When they open a door to the outside all they see is super dense fog and light. Its implied that the people who go through the door are killed somehow.

Watching Channel Zero: The No-End House reminded me of it.

How old is the movie?

Could it be ‘The Beyond’ ? It’s quite old, but there’s a scene that is similar…

Spoilers. This is the final scene of the movie: [The Beyond (1981) A Bleak Ending to the Movie - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46R03LQEAx4)

[The Fog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fog)? John Carpenter’s version was in the 80’s, but I think there was a newer (and worse) remake…late 90’sish?

Edit: remake was 2005
