MPAA RATING: PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and brief sexuality
Starring Tom Welling, Maggie Grace, Selma Blair, DeRay Davis, Rade Serbedzija, Kenneth Welsh, Adrian Hough, and Cole Heppell
There really is something out there in the dark. In the small town of Antonio Bay, a terrifying and malevolent force hidden within a thick and eerie fog terrorized its residents. Shrouded by the fog lies a ghastly secret of merciless revenge, one that the town's inhabitants would do well to unravel -- before it's too late. (Revolution Studios)

Clint M. gave it a2:
Laughably awful. a few scares at the beginning and a hint of mediocrity ... but sadly, it can't even reach that level. TERRIBLE.
Cryptkeeper lookalike gave it a2:
although watching the screenwriter pat his own back in the extras was fun, I still think the best part was when I fell asleep.
CJ gave it a1:
Extremely poor at best. The storyline was atrocious and far too predictable. I'm not surprised the cinema was empty at the time I watched it.
Jack S. gave it a0:
OK. I definitely should've heeded the reviews here, because they're dead on. This was so incredibly bad, however there is some good news: I've learned to fast-forward rather quickly using the XBox 360 controller.
Rog B. gave it a0:
Wow. Bad bad bad. The scariest thing about the whole film is that Carpenter was actually one of the producers, meaning he didn't just bear but was ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN the making of this laughable remake. The PG13 rating immediately takes away any chance of gore fun (don't be fooled by the "unrated" label on the DVD... that prolly just means they added an extra 30 seconds to the film somewhere) and everything else is lost right away when you realize the way this movie wants to play. Honestly the only thing this director seems to have a grasp of is filming ships docking and people being thrown through windows (which becomes so frequent that it is hillarious as the film progresses). The editing is so dizzying and sudden that you'll swear you just suffered severe whiplash, as the movie switches violently from, say, a guy getting his eye knifed to two fun lovin' teens at Starbucks. The whole resurgence of horror movies (really, really bad horror movies) at theaters has been fun at points (everything by Uwe Boll, for example) but now it's getting to the point that it's just embarassing and boring. This is really scraping the barrel.

Lost In The Fog ran in the Breeder's Cup and lost but this movie should have been lost in the fog as it was awful.
Michael K. gave it a2:
Just awful... none of the suspense or general creepiness of the original. The acting is fair by an attractive cast, but the material seems lost in a fog . I can imagine the script meetings...."No, we must be creative... I know, instead of the boy finding part of the ships sign, lets make it a hairbrush! Plus, we could have the ghosts spray paint on a grave in the cemetery!"
