In the theater: The Fog

Twenty five years ago we were scared by a new concept of horror from John Carpenter: THE FOG. I was nine at the time, so I didn't get to see it. I may have caught parts of it on television since, but never the entire movie, not even enough to know more than a fog rolls into town and kills people, as it holds ghosts of some sort.

So recently THE FOG was remade and opened in theaters this past weekend. We actually got to see it opening night at Roosevelt Field.

FYI: The Roosevelt Field theater is one of my least favorites to attend. It seems to attract all the riff-raff who were at the mall and had nothing better to do in the evening. So they check out a movie, all the while cursing at the screen, talking to each other, and on their cellphones.

At any rate after the trailers, none of which for Underworld: Evolution, the movie gets started. I really won't go into any sort of detail about this movie at all. The cast worked. 100 minutes was about right. The story was easy to follow, if not predictable. The special effects were pretty good.
The movie was fine. It was very watchable. It had it's scary moments. It wasn't the greatest movie ever, especially for horror. Not as much horror as there would be expected.

It was fine. Check it out, you probably won't hate it.

Now I have to try to rent the original, but it's been out for the last month or so.
