Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

hongkong666 A lot of critics and movie fans give this remake a lot of hate. And I can clearly see why. Other than in the original version of John Carpenter from 1980 you will have a hard time to get attached to the actors for the character development is blend and most of the dialogues are quite off. Especially the two leading characters played by Tom Welling and Maggie Grace are an epic fail. However, John Carpenter himself was sitting on the producer chair here, so he must have seen something in this movie. And there is actually some quite good stuff in it as well. The animation of the fog itself looks great and I totally love how they changed the 1980's zombie look of the crew to a transparent but still great looking ghost appearance. The showdown also is very great, with an unecpected ending and therefore I consider it quite entertaining. If you really expect a remake of the original, you will be pretty disappointed, for only very little details carried over to Rupert Wainwright's take on of the material. After all it would have been really interesting to have Carpenter direct this classic once more and bring it up to the standards of the modern times!

skybrick736 Let's not sugarcoat this at all… The remake of The Fog by Rupert Wainwright doesn't hold a candle at all to John Carpenter's original. An extended storyline in this film was based off the original revenge plot but it only muddied the waters and made the movie more complicated. Another thing about the remake, where are the townspeople and supporting roles, is there anybody that lives on this island besides the few casted actors and actresses? This leads to the atrocious acting or just completely forgettable roles by the cast, people were solely by their looks instead of talent. As a viewer it's understandable, glamorous, gorgeous actors/actresses might attract people to the theaters but it's no way going to be an impressionable movie in later years.The next thing that is about to be trashed is the special effects of the ghosts that were all extremely phony looking because of poor computer generated imagery. The Fog itself didn't look at all as menacing and the setting and cinematography of the area wasn't portrayed nearly as much as it should have been. The filming location was beautiful and it was a waste not to take advantage of the area more than they could have. The final aspect of the movie that is hateable about the film is the head-scratching ending, like what was the rational and point of this twist other than to make people mad. The bogus story, terrible acting, and lack of scary substance makes The Fog (2005) worthy enough to it's appearances in "worst of lists" as far as remakes go.

Phil Hubbs The second remake in the same year for some of Carpenter's old classics and it doesn't seem like a lesson was learnt.The age old saying of less is more goes begging yet again folks. This glossy remake simply offers nothing that the original doesn't offer in a better way. There are no real thrills, chills or scares anyway in this extremely poor remake. Not to say that the original was really scary, it wasn't, but it had great atmosphere and more importantly was for an older audience.Yep you guessed it, this overly long remake is a PG-13 cert...oh good grief. The plot is of course nothing terribly scary, an old spooky sea yarn, but at least try for some genuine thrills and a creepy atmosphere. All you get is a pretty blonde boring teen screaming a lot, a token black guy, long drawn out effects which don't add anything and worse fog effects than the original!Some of the effects are nice admittedly but they aren't really needed, its like the plot, it just delves way too deep and goes on too long when it doesn't have to. A typical effect that shows the over the top nature of the production is the tsunami looking wave of fog that approaches the 'Seagrass'.Despite the plot being too long it still manages to not make a huge amount of sense right at the end. The ghost effects at the end are also laughable. A complete and utter mistake for all involved, could have been decent if made correctly but it wasn't. Devoid of anything remotely interesting or even slightly scary or spooky.2/10

curse-of-egypt No remake is as good as the Original movie and I agree with people who believe this too. I liked Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis in the original movie and I think the original was more scary than the remake. When I saw the original version I had nightmares for weeks. I mean sure it did have a few good moments in it but nothing spectacular happened like in the original version. I mean the original keep me on the edge of my seat and gave me goose bumps on my goose bumps, but this version was a total flop to me and that they should've never did a remake of it. When a movie is made, they should never do a remake of it because fans are going to be disappointed and want their money back because the movie didn't live up to their expectations and scare them or whatever, depending on the movie.
