Also Maggie Grace is in this movie too, if you watch Lost she plays Shannon in the show. Needless to say, I was drawn due to these actors, and the need for a good scare.
I have not seen the original Fog, so I really can't compare it, but the movie was very hard to follow. Not only this, but it just wasn't very scary at all. As it stacks up there is a lot better movies out to see than this one.

(Halloween is my absolute favorite.) I am somewhat anxious about seeing the remake, though. I heard that there were a lot of scenes and effects added to this remake that weren't in the original.You're right. The filmmakers needlessly complicated a very simple movie and botched it up.
Kenji Wrote:Why why why......Why do they need to remake this? Carpenter's The Fog was perfect.
I saw remake version's trailer. But I felt something lacked. I've not seen this yet, so I can say nothing. But one thing.....I'll wait DVD release.

IMHO, the original is near perfect.
My gal and I saw this "update" yesterday and walked out after about 40 minutes.
'nuff said.
p.s. Carpenter - after completely losing his touch with his last several directorial efforts - is now a sellout, as he was the Producer for this mess.
p.p.s. You want to make a horror movie?... make it scary. :confused:

How desperate is Hollywood these days...? Bloody frustrating.
On a side note, they're also remaking Invasion of the Body Snatchers - even more bloody frustrating.
