"There's more to fear than you can see."
- Director: Rupert Wainwright
- Genre: Horror, Thriller, Drama, Mystery
- Studio: Revolution Studios
- Duration: 115 Mins
Overview:
John Carpenter's 1980 ghost yarn The Fog wasn't one of his best, but it scarcely deserved the indignity of this inept remake by Stigmata director Rupert Wainwright. The story remains much the same, as the seaside community of Antonio Bay is terrorised by vengeful spooks who emerge from a haunted pea-souper. Leading the insipid, less-than-enthusiastic cast are Smallville's Tom Welling, Lost's Maggie Grace and Selma Blair, who attempt to unravel the mystery of the marine invaders. The original film was a reasonably tightly wrought tale, relying on the ratcheting up of tension for its pleasingly hokey thrills. But Wainwright jettisons atmosphere in favour of a cacophonous soundtrack and ineptly timed "shocks", while Carpenter's ghostly shapes in the mist give way to naff-looking zombies.
