In the 2005 horror film The Fog, viewers are transported to the small coastal town of Antonio Bay, California. The story begins as the town is preparing to celebrate its centennial anniversary, but strange occurrences begin to take place leading up to the event. The film stars Tom Welling as Nick Castle, a local fisherman and ex-boyfriend of Elizabeth Williams, played by Maggie Grace. Elizabeth is a local radio DJ who begins to notice odd things happening around the town, including malfunctioning electronics and a strange fog that seems to be approaching the town.
Meanwhile, Nick and his crew are out on the water when they come across a derelict ship drifting in the fog. Upon exploring the ship, they discover a mysterious artifact and a journal belonging to the ship's captain, who warns of a vengeful force that will seek revenge on the town.
As the night of the centennial celebration approaches, the strange occurrences in the town escalate, and it becomes clear that the vengeful force from the past has returned to seek revenge. Selma Blair plays Stevie Wayne, a single mother who runs the local radio station and becomes instrumental in warning the town of the danger they face.
The film is a remake of the 1980 film by the same name, but with updated special effects and a more modern twist. Directed by Rupert Wainwright, The Fog combines elements of supernatural horror, suspense, and mystery to create a tense and eerie atmosphere.
One of the standout features of the film is the use of the fog as a central plot device. The fog is both beautiful and foreboding, and is often the only indication of impending danger. The special effects team did an excellent job of creating the fog, which has a life and personality of its own.
The film also features a strong cast of actors, with Tom Welling bringing his trademark charisma to the role of Nick. Maggie Grace is convincing as a woman caught up in a supernatural mystery, and Selma Blair steals the screen as the courageous Stevie Wayne.
Overall, The Fog is a solid horror film that successfully captures the eerie atmosphere of a small town harboring dark secrets. It combines elements of classic ghost stories with modern special effects, making it a worthwhile addition to the horror genre.
The Fog is a 2005 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.7 and a MetaScore of 27.
