Just bought this on DVD today and I can't wait to sit down and watch the newer version! I've seen the original 1980 version with Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau and Hal Holbrook so many times (plus I have it on VHS), that I could recite it from memory! I've ALWAYS loved that movie! Now I will soon get to see the new version to see if it's just as good. Larry

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I DID watch this late last night and I thought it was pretty decent. I think some of the acting could have been a little better, but the special effects, etc were great! And, it pretty much paralleled the ORIGINAL John Carpenter movie from 1980. The only major difference was in the ending! Quite honestly, it didn't even really need to be refilmed because the 1980 version was quite magnificent and told all! Perhaps, Hollywood ran out of ideas so they felt it necessary to remake an oldie but goodie! ;D Speaking of watching remakes, I'll probably be getting the newer version of The Amityville Horror soon! We'll then see how THAT one compares with its predecessor from 1979. Larry

I watched this one. I hate to say it, but I liked the plot line of the 1980 version a little better. They made dumb changes in the way the new version played out just because of the actors that they chose. They could have easily taken the movie from the 80’s and simply added more about the awful thing that they did to caused the FOG to come back in the first place.(I hope you get my meaning, I’m trying not to give up any spoilers here)

I watched to old venison and that scared me enough. So needless to say I won't watch the new one. No way don't like scary movies.....

The original version of The Fog is the only horror movie that I have seen, so I may watch this remake. Even though I haven't yet seen this, it's difficult to imagine that it will compare favourably with the original, that was excellent.

[glow=red,2,300] ?[/glow] Let me correct my type-o for you larry....... I watched the original or old version. So I don't want to see the remake or new version OK? Just because I make a type o you should be able to understand the sentence as a whole. I know I would have.

I just watched the remake this past weekend and I must say I was sorely disappointed. The original was spooky and a scary like a ghost story should be. This one was just confusing and not scary at all.

If I want to watch The Fog, I don't need to buy a DVD. All I have to do is look out the window! ;D
