    This new Fog floats in on the fumes of the 1980 John Carpenter original, but the surprise is that it's arguably better.

    Most of The Fog will seem drearily perfunctory even to those viewers who don't know Carpenter's version, which itself emulated the elegant gloom of Val Lewton's horror pics of the 1940s.

    If the characters were more interesting, the long, long buildup to their night of ghostly reckoning might be suspenseful rather than tedious.

    Making concessions at every turn to the youth-horror market, the film slashes the ages of its protagonists by some 15 years, and its IQ follows suit.

    I was totally freaked out, the sound was awesome and the acting was terrific. I particularly loved watching Tom Welling on the big screen. I hope he does more features.… Expand

    It's not a terrible movie, but like Stealth, it had SOOOOO, MUCH promise, and it destroyed it. It looked like a great movie, not scary, but good action, good plot, and it was decent, but it is the most dissapointing movie of the year.… Expand
