The
remake of John Carpenter's "The Fog" is one of saddest remakes I've
ever seen. Just like the remake of "Halloween", everything is overly
explained as if the audience needs everything pointed out to them. The cast is
full of pretty people who can't act; even Selma Blair falls flat more so than
usual. The CGI effects are used too much and are not scary. The worst offense
is that both John Carpenter and Debra Hill served as producers. This is one of those seemingly rare
PG-13 rated movies that just bombs.
The only positive note I can give this film is the fact that they chose to create a remake of this title in the first place. Unless you are a big horror fan or a John Carpenter buff, you might not know about “The Fog”. I like it when something else besides the biggest names are remade and given a second chance. But with that second chance comes the possibility of a horrible movie. It happens and it’s a shame.
