There are few things as fun as a good creepy horror movie. Now, having said that there haven’t been many of them of late. But The Fog looks promising. A remake of sorts of the 1980 John Carpenter film told in a slightly different setting.
Fans of Smallville will be happy to see Tom Welling get his first Major leading role in a film (even if it’s not as Superman… which I think is a good thing). He looks pretty comfortable in the trailer… but it’s hard not to look at him and just see young Clark Kent, but I’m sure we’ll get over that 10 minutes into the movie.
The IMDB gives us this little synopsis of The Fog:
Exactly one hundred years ago, off the rocky shore of an isolated Northern California town, a ship of lepers was horribly wrecked in an eerie fog when the founders of the town purposefully misguided the ship, dooming everyone aboard. Now, tonight, the ghosts of the long-dead mariners have returned from their watery graves to exact revenge. Shrouded within a supernatural fog, the ghosts trap the residents of the remote community, intent on seeking out the descendents of those who founded the town…and killing anyone who stands in their murderous path.
The trailer look good at this point (but then again, that’s what they’re supposed to do). I’m looking forward to it. If you want to catch the trailer you can click here.
