Reaction: Well, that was a misfire. We knew it was risky greenlighting a second remake to the film, especially when the first remake bombed at the box office. Oh well.
"Essentially a shot-for-shot remake of John Carpenter's original film (even keeping the period setting), this film feels dated and unnecessary, especially only a little more than a decade after the previous failed attempt at a remake." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"John Carpenter's The Fog arguably holds up far worse than most of his early films, so the decision to remake it again without really making any changes or updates to the story feels a bit questionable at best." - Dave Vrosky, Den of Geek
"Well, it's better than the other remake of The Fog. While I found the film mostly pointless, Tommy Wirkola was an interesting choice to direct and Evan Rachel Wood fills Adrienne Barbeau's shoes nicely despite the frivolous nature of the production." - Clark Haverford, Nerdist
