Watch The Fog For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Awesome Movie

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

There was an original version. Having a remake with cuter cast doesn't mean it's the best choice. Poor acting and not scary at all compared to its original version.

This is one of the WORST remakes of all time!!!! I kid you not. A terrible film & an absolutely pointless remake of a perfect Horror CLASSIC. Everything about this movie is TERRIBLE, why they remade it like this is beyond me??? TOM ATKINS from the BRILLIANT 1980 classic was a fantastic average joe blue collar middle aged guy who was perfect for the little coastal fishing town a real gritty type of local hero fisherman named Nick Castle & in this horrendous remake we have a young PATHETIC ripped up pretty boy who can't Act at all!!! POINTLESS. The ghost pirates look TERRIBLE all terrible C.G.I fx & no proper make up!!! The 1980 ghost pirates looked AMAZING & stand up even better today!!! All the cast in this remake are TERRIBLE absolutely TERRIBLE. Can't believe Carpenter & Hill was producers on this big pile of poop. The original CLASSIC fog (1980) had outstanding atmosphere & excellent scary music & a fantastic ensemble cast with amazing fx. This remake has TERRIBLE fx, Terrible acting, Terrible music it's a Terrible & cheap looking TEEN film where everyone is not real or normal they are all PLASTIC LOOKING MODELS!!! ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS

A lot of critics and movie fans give this remake a lot of hate. And I can clearly see why. Other than in the original version of John Carpenter from 1980 you will have a hard time to get attached to the actors for the character development is blend and most of the dialogues are quite off. Especially the two leading characters played by Tom Welling and Maggie Grace are an epic fail. However, John Carpenter himself was sitting on the producer chair here, so he must have seen something in this movie. And there is actually some quite good stuff in it as well. The animation of the fog itself looks great and I totally love how they changed the 1980's zombie look of the crew to a transparent but still great looking ghost appearance. The showdown also is very great, with an unecpected ending and therefore I consider it quite entertaining. If you really expect a remake of the original, you will be pretty disappointed, for only very little details carried over to Rupert Wainwright's take on of the material. After all it would have been really interesting to have Carpenter direct this classic once more and bring it up to the standards of the modern times!

Oh dear, oh dear. Horror remakes very rarely live up to expectations but 'The Fog' goes one step further. This is a truly awful film. It might identify as a horror movie but there is nothing, literally nothing in this film that remotely resembles horror. There are no scares, no tension, no atmosphere, no gore...The film just about reaches the 100 minute mark but by the time the credits role it feels like double that. It takes an eternity to get going and even longer to reach its conclusion, which is appropriately terrible. The acting isn't great either. I don't think even the cast were convinced by what they were doing. This is definitely one to avoid!
