this may be the first time i have liked a remake more than the original, even if it is only slightly.

Although I seem to be one of only very few people who like the remake of John Carpenter's "The Fog", I still would recommend this horror thriller! It features a nice setup (a small remote island), a good plot (cheated leper seamen taking revenge) and decent acting & scares... Since I don't know the original I can not say if the remake is better or worse.

Listen, my expectations were low and I was still disappointed. I'm not too picky and I can find something to appreciate in most movies but this one was extremely slow and not much happened. It's 100 minutes and yet it felt like 4h.
The only reason I didn't turn it off after 20 minutes was because of Tom Welling

Poor overall, I do like the idea though.

'The Fog' has been absolutely obliterated on Letterboxd, 1.6 average rating is major yikes. I, honestly, don't think it's quite that awful but I fully understand the dislike this has. For me, it wastes a good concept.

I actually don't mind the special effects, sure they aren't anything amazing but I never really felt let down by them; the only times it bothered me, in truth, was when there's a huge bundle of fog. For the "natives", though, I thought they looked fairly neat.

The film definitely goes on for too long, while the ending is terrible. Acting wise I think it's OK. Tom Welling (Nick) and Maggie Grace (Elizabeth) are passable, the rest of the cast give pretty lame performances granted.

Bad, but not *that* bad in my opinion. Remakes always tend to make people more annoyed, especially when they've seen the original. I haven't, so I guess that plays a part.

Charming at parts and decent enough but the ending fell flat. Better than the original though for me.

Remake de otro clásico del cine, para quien no haya visto la original es una pelicula entretenida e incluso en algunos momentos de terror, pero para quienes hemos visto la original es mas floja verdaderamente que su antecesora.Ambas son recomendables

Pues en este caso discrepo.. comparándola con la original, este remake precisamente rellena los huecos que se dejaron sin explicar, profundiza mucho más en la historia y en ese aspecto es "mejor" película. Aunque desde luego el reparto de 1980 es mucho mejor y las escenas de sustos son inmejorables, claro sello de John Carpenter
