The Fog (2005)


My instincts let me down on this one. There was not a single shred of "so bad its funny" anywhere to be found in this. Not one desirable chain of amino acids in the DNA of this lame teen horror clone, whose skeleton is identical to the original 1980 film, but whose body cavity is just filled with BAD MOVIE. So they just took all the characters and plot and filled in the rest with cheap CGI and silly (but alas, not silly enough to be funny) dialogue. I mean, there's a chick who spins bad hip-hop records in the top of a lighthouse, and she's the town DJ or something? Stuff that made sense in the original just doesn't in 2005. Oh man. Admittedly, I stopped watching after about 40 minutes and did some laundry instead, but I did glance at the TV occasionally and yup, it was still bad.
