This film will undoubtedly rank amongst the worst re-makes ever made-and reaffirms what a classic horror film the first FOG (1980) is.Tom Welling (Clark Kent of SMALLVILLE) takes the role of Nick Castle, Maggie Grace (LOST) is in the Jamie Lee Curtis role and Selma Blair (HELLBOY) takes over Adrienne Barbeau's role of Stevie Wayne, the lighthouse radio show host. The acting isn't bad but all the characters are given these already established relationships so not a lot is done with the characters.The biggest problem of the movie is that there is no suspense or scares. Then, there's the computer animated fog and the ghosts that come with it. Far too much time is given to the flashback scenes of 'why' the ghosts of the lepers are seeking revenge. And that whole subplot with the reincarnation can be seen a mile away-it's not a 'Surprise ending'. You know you're in trouble when 45 minutes into the movie you're anxious for the thing to end. If you're thinking of seeing this movie-don't. Rent out the original instead.
