The Fog **
Cast: Tom Welling, Maggie Grace, Selma Blair, DeRay Davis, Kenneth Walsh, Adrian Hough
Director: Rupert Wainwright
Running Length: 1:40
MPAA Classification: PG-13

As the town of Antonio Bay gears up for its 100th anniversary, a thick fog works its way toward the town. Something in the fog begins to kill the townspeople, and it is up to Nick Castle (Welling) and his girlfriend (Grace) to figure out what is going on and save the town from the danger in the fog.

I've never seen the original and this newer version does not particularly make me want to. Despite starting out well, the ending is a mess, not making much sense at all. The effects are pretty good and give some genuine scary moments, but that is not enough to save the movie. If you want to see this, wait for the DVD.
