The Fog (2006) DVD Report


The setting for the Fog is an island off the Oregon coast, a fog-enshrouded schooner from 1865 returns from the bottom of the sea to wreak vengeance on the locals of the island, and its up to local DJ Stevie Wayne (Selma Blair), Nick (Tom Welling) the charter-boat captain, and his wayward girlfriend, Elizabeth (Maggie Grace), to save the day.

All three are descendants of the towns founding fathers, with whom the ship-bound ghosts have an ancient score to settle. The real scene stealer is the CGI fog itself, which is much more animated than in the 1980 John Carpenter original.

So is The Fog better then the 1980s original? Technically yes, but I preferred the original in 1980s to the remake now. Overall its not a bad movie, but why remake it? It was already a classic!

Here is the trailer...
