I could appreciate that special effect in a fantasy film, but not in a supposedly realistic horror like this. The fog itself is a not-bad CGI effect, but the ghosts – when they eventually show up – look like nothing more than the ghost army in LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING. Scenes are disjointed and there are so many pointless sub-plots and unfathomable ingredients that you get the feeling that heavy editing took place during the post-production process to try and generate some interest in this mess. This film takes an age to get going and virtually nothing happens in the first hour. Selma Blair, taking the role that Barbeau essayed in the first, is the only one who seems to be trying to give an actual performance but even her attempts at edginess fail constantly. We had Tom Adkins and Adrienne Barbeau in the first film here we get dumb male model Tom Welling and the aforementioned Grace, who is so pathetic an actress as to be laughable. The plot sticks fairly closely to the original, but the characters are nowhere near as interesting and the actors are laughable. Little does she know that the residents are about to be besieged by the ghosts of some lepers who were burned to death over a century before. The simply awful Maggie Grace stars as a young woman who returns to the populated island where she once lived. It's a teen horror film, nothing more nothing less, and it never should have been released. While the Carpenter film isn't a favourite of mine, it is a solid little ghost story that has more about it than some, but THE FOG falls far short of these standards. This is a laboured, labouring film that attempts to emulate the John Carpenter original with no success. I still think the execrable WHEN A STRNGER CALLS is the worst of all time, but in places THE FOG comes close. Of all the horror remakes being made in the past few years, this one has to be one of the dreariest.

The fog 2005 movie#
Well, in the movie they misspelled 'upharsin'. In Daniel, it read "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin". Perhaps it made this list because folks expected so much more since the original was apparently better.īy the way, there is a scene where someone or some thing painted a quote from the Bible on the wall. Instead, it was tedious and poorly made.though I wouldn't place it in the Bottom 100.especially since some of the effects were impressive. I think it's because of the generally slow pacing, a close-up shot of a dead dog, the hipster radio station character, the use of leprosy to evoke horror and much more.but it never was funny bad like "The Room", "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "The Apple". After all, sometimes it's funny to watch a thoroughly terrible and inept movie.and this one wasn't that fun to watch. So what did I dislike about the film? Well, I was mostly sad because it wasn't as horrible as I'd hoped. First, the studio green lit this film project before they even had a completed script! This is a very dangerous move and you would rationally think they'd have the script before making the decision to make the movie! Second, although John Carpenter is listed as one of the producers, apparently it was in name only and Carpenter told the media he essentially had no involvement in the remake. So did this version go so wrong? I have two guesses. It currently is number 62 on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 list.evidence that many people strongly disliked this movie! In 2005, a remake came out.and only bad movie buffs loved it.mostly because they loved to laugh at the film and how unintentionally bad it was.

This horror film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Adrienne Barbeau was successful and there were some who loved it. In 1980, John Carpenter brought the world "The Fog".

A boat full of people are found dead or near dead, a woman keeps having strange dreams, weird objects wash ashore, fires break out and then there is the fog.a fog which is creepy and brings folks from the mid-1800s back to the present day! Obviously, the island is totally screwed! On Antonio Island, all sorts of weird and creepy things start happening. Reviewed by MartinHafer 3 / 10 Not terrible.
