The Fog Reviews |
You have to admire the way director Rupert Wainwright never lets a little thing like the specifics of plot interfere with the plodding pace he has set for THE FOG. It is as though he is following the exacting beat of a metronome and be it a scene of a babysitter watching a game show in television, or one of a creepy crawly vengeance-seeking wraith from the past, the penalty for not following its monotonous lead is too horrible to contemplate.

--Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
This "Fog'' is more of the same fodder Carpenter dished out 25 years ago, albeit with an updated wardrobe. It's not much more than a popcorn night out at the movies, but the stop-and-go music and jerky camera movements will give a number of moviegoers the willies. [read review] 
...remakes like this one paint all the others with a huge and objectionable brush ... because this flick absolutely stinks of half-hearted effort and assembly-line cynicism. It's not that "The Fog" couldn't yield a half-decent remake; it's that, in this case, nobody even seems to be trying. [read review] 
--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
So yes, if you’re familiar with the original, there’s no reason, other than cheap curiosity, to see this update. And if you’re unfamiliar with the original, there’s no reason for you to pass that one over for this lesser version. Who knows? Maybe if we ignore these pointless remakes enough, pretty soon they’ll all go away. [read review] 
--David Cornelius (eFilmCritic.com)
For the same $9 or so that you would spend to see “The Fog” in theaters, you could go to your local megastore and pick up the DVD of John Carpenter’s original. While that film was no masterpiece, it was an entertaining and efficient B movie that knew howto entertain audiences without utterly insulting their intelligence. [read review]
--Peter Sobczynski (eFilmCritic.com)
The film lacks any suspense, any on-screen blood or violence. The fog though computer animated didn't have the feeling of even being threatening. Just cause technology has impoved guys, doesn't mean we have to remake everything with new shinier effects. [read review]
--Hyde (horror-web.com)
A remake which fails to capture the original story and instead heads into dull and unoriginal new subplots and stupid twists. Will please the teen audience but for more serious horror fans, this will fail badly. [read review]
--AnthroFred (SlasherPool)
However, under the eye of director Rupert Wainwright, the new “Fog” is a dreadful bore, blowing every chance to rise above mediocrity and establish itself as the exception to the updates-are-awful rule. [read review]
--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)
What works in this new adaptation of The Fog is almost completely eclipsed by the disjointed mess that appears on the screen. [read review]
--T.W. Anderson (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
This Fog redo is for the teenagers--glossy, peppered with pretty people and not nearly as terrifying as the original. [read review]
--Brian Marder (Hollywood.com)
...the ending is one of the most cringeworthy and downright stupid things I've ever witnessed in a horror movie. [read review]
