The Fog is a 2005 teen horror film directed by Rupert Wainwright. It is a remake of the original 1980 John Carpenter film The Fog. While the original film is generally considered favorable amongst fans, Wainwright's remake was universally reviled by both audiences and critics. The film review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes gave The Fog a 5% "rotten" review rating from a total of sixty-five reviews. [1] The plot of the film revolves around the wrestless spirits of a 19th century clipper ship called the Elizabeth Dane, who have risen from the grave to torment those responsible for their deaths. Youths Nick Castle and Elizabeth Williams are swept up in a wave of strange phenomena as they learn more about their home town's grisly origins.
