lukem-52760 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

soulful01 I don't know why people are trashing this film. I thought it was pretty good, on par with a made for TV film. The story held together pretty well, though about 9 or 10 minutes could have been shaved without affecting the story much. The acting, the action, the score, and everything else was fine. This remake was not as good as the original, but what remake is? And while I freely admit this film will never be on the AFI's top 100 list, it doesn't need to be. It's entertaining, and that's exactly what it's meant to be. I have to wonder what's going on with the low ratings. For a movie as unheard of as this one, there are an awful lot of comments. But that's a matter for someone who cares to look into. A nice little not too horrible horror film that would be perfect for a rainy evening with a bowl of popcorn covered in real butter.

GL84 After a series of strange encounters, a small sea-town comes to believe the fulfillment of a deadly curse is being brought upon by a series of malicious ghosts and try to stop it before it's too late.Quite frankly, this is a highly underrated effort that's one of the more enjoyable remakes among this current crop. One of the only true flaws to this is the lower rating which does harm this one. The kills here really lack any sort of impact or brutality with the lack of blood throughout here, and the other attacks have a slightly less intense bite to them than they otherwise would with a darker tone to this. There's also the act that this one tends to overplay its scenes far longer than they're worth, which is slightly odd in that it makes for overlong and overly dramatic scare scenes that overstay their welcome at times and instead drains some of their impact. Still, there's a lot to like here in the fact that the build-up in here is incredibly well-done with this one featuring the early visions of the ships' fate along with the items washed ashore both creating a rather fine and exciting set-up as well as the burgeoning mystery they lead to surrounding the sudden appearance of the journal explaining everything that finally puts everything together. That helps makes scenes like the ambush or sea or the supernatural activities in the radio station to seem all the more enjoyable as well as being highly suspenseful by milking the idea of the fog being a malevolent entity in this one. The scenes of it moving through town, surrounding buildings and weaving along the hallways makes for a thoroughly chilling scenario about what's trapped in the fog. When it finally pays that off in the final half causes this to be all the more enjoyable and entertaining by making for a rather chilling connection with the back-story given already in here which is where this one gets the most out of its storyline. That also helps to make for a really fine finale by really getting the good attacks and really creepy scenarios in here that really make for a high-note ending here which really sells this one. The last part to like here is the rather inspired amount of suspense in here, from the attack on the lighthouse worker and the fog chasing the family through the house to even shorter scenes with the trapped car underwater, the fake-drowning in the outhouse or the final assault in the library which makes for some really good times in here. While they may seem a little like a cop-out, these make it enjoyable enough.Rated PG-13: Violence, some Language and shadowy Nudity.

SnoopyStyle The town of Antonio Island, Oregon is unveiling a statue honoring the four founders; Patrick Malone, Norman Castle, Richard Wayne and David Williams in 1871. However the four men had been less than honorable. Nick Castle (Tom Welling) runs his own fishing boat, the Seagrass. His girlfriend Elizabeth Williams (Maggie Grace) returns to the island after six months in NYC. Stevie Wayne (Selma Blair) is the radio DJ out the lighthouse. There is some strange occurrences, gruesome deaths, and a mysterious fog.This is a remake of the original John Carpenter movie from 1980. I wasn't really a big fan of the original and this is a poor copy. At least the original had a creepy atmosphere and Adrienne Barbeau. This one doesn't have anything in comparison. The production and the acting is so bland. It's like nobody aspires to do better. There is also something about the CGI fog. Its fakeness took me out of the movie. It's not scary and it's not suspenseful.
