• Reviews

  "This new Fog floats in on the fumes of the 1980 John Carpenter original, but the surprise is that it's arguably better." - Boston Globe

  "It's virtually indiscernible from any other contemporary horror film except for, well, the fog." - The Onion

  "The production values are above par, but as in Carpenter's original, seeing ghosts is less scary than imagining them." - Chicago Reader
