I can't believe that this film was so disappointing i mean the acting and the performances were fine, the ghosts looked creepy and there's even a great scene where an old woman gets melted but other than that the film is boring, it has stupid jump scares and it has one of the worst movie endings i have ever seen and i'm going to spoil it so here it is Elizabeth approaches Captain William Blake's ghost and the dude has never seen this girl and he grabs her and he kisses her and from out of nowhere she turns into a ghost and she leaves Nick for an old dude and as the film ends we see a picture from their wedding back in 1865 please tell me if any of this that i just wrote makes sense? Because it doesn't to me and the epic showdown was to kill Father Malone and Tom Malone. I honestly haven't seen the Original but maybe i should? Cause this film goddamn disappointed and none of this actors are bad you know Maggie Crace was good in Taken and some other movies so was Selma Blair in Hellboy and Tom Welling in Smallville and some other films too. I'm giving The Fog a 5/10.

The second remake in the same year for some of Carpenter's old classics and it doesn't seem like a lesson was learnt.The age old saying of less is more goes begging yet again folks. This glossy remake simply offers nothing that the original doesn't offer in a better way. There are no real thrills, chills or scares anyway in this extremely poor remake. Not to say that the original was really scary, it wasn't, but it had great atmosphere and more importantly was for an older audience.Yep you guessed it, this overly long remake is a PG-13 cert...oh good grief. The plot is of course nothing terribly scary, an old spooky sea yarn, but at least try for some genuine thrills and a creepy atmosphere. All you get is a pretty blonde boring teen screaming a lot, a token black guy, long drawn out effects which don't add anything and worse fog effects than the original!Some of the effects are nice admittedly but they aren't really needed, its like the plot, it just delves way too deep and goes on too long when it doesn't have to. A typical effect that shows the over the top nature of the production is the tsunami looking wave of fog that approaches the 'Seagrass'.Despite the plot being too long it still manages to not make a huge amount of sense right at the end. The ghost effects at the end are also laughable. A complete and utter mistake for all involved, could have been decent if made correctly but it wasn't. Devoid of anything remotely interesting or even slightly scary or spooky.2/10

I picked this movie up thinking that it was good I had never seen the original before and I had not read any reviews about it either. I really wish I had. This is one of those movies you keep hoping will get better but it really does not. I think after about 10 to 15 minutes into it I started to get bored and a little while after that I started to get quite irritated. The actors are bad half the time it looks like the were also bored while making the movie (I would not blame them) Would not recommend this movie to anyone unless you want to waste about an hour and a half of your time and be very bored. I rate this a 1 out of 10
