Critic Reviews

Ty Burr

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

Andrea Gronvall

The production values are above par, but as in Carpenter's original, seeing ghosts is less scary than imagining them. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Director Rupert Wainwright fails to bring any style to the material, not producing a fraction of the suspense or wit generated by Carpenter in the original even while working with a far lesser budget. Read full review

Jason Anderson

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. Read full review

R. Emmet Sweeney

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. Read full review

Kyle Smith

I was held in suspense throughout The Fog, aching to learn the answer to its central riddle: Why would any one remake such a crummy movie? Read full review

Marc Savlov

Such a monumentally bad remake of such an exceptionally chilling genre favorite. Read full review

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.
