An island off the Oregon coast is the setting for this salty yarn
of ghosts, lepers, betrayal, vengeance, and teen angst. A
fog-enshrouded schooner from 1865 returns from the bottom of the
sea to wreak vengeance on the locals of the island, and it's up to
local DJ Stevie Wayne (Selma Blair), her charter-boat-captain
lover, Nick (Tom Welling, from TV's SMALLVILLE), and his wayward
girlfriend, Elizabeth (Maggie Grace, from TV's LOST), to save the
day. All three are related to the town's founding fathers, with
whom the shipbound ghosts have an ancient score to settle. What
that score is no one seems to know, but they need to find out,
fast. DeRay Davis (BARBERSHOP) provides comic relief as Nick's
lusty first mate, but the real scene stealer here is the fog
itself, which is much more animated than in the 1980 John Carpenter
original. Thanks to some nice CGI work, it slithers in, around, and
under everything. Though gussied up with an angst-rock soundtrack
and beautiful young TV actors, THE FOG is, at heart, a good old
fashioned ghost story, replete with period costumes and
inter-dimensional romance. Director Rupert Wainwright (STIGMATA) is
good at capturing little details like the eerie tinkling of
deep-sea fishing hooks hung out to dry, the textures of
moisture-beaded shower stall doors, and the perfectly toned skin of
lead actress Grace as she wanders around in her negligee. John
Carpenter and his partner, Debra Hill--co-creators of the first
FOG--served as producers.
