Reaction: The film managed a slim profit to become the seventh highest grossing mystery film for the studio (well below the $386 million from the highest earning mystery The Prisoner, and about half as much as the second highest grossing mystery film, Cold).


"The film is anchored by a couple of impressive performances from Oscar Isaac and Sharlto Copley. Both are given a lot of breathing room with their characters and are clearly not shied away from over the top acting choices, adding entertaining aspects to the film's mystery." - Jeremy Raren, RottenTomatoes.com


"Girl in the Fog is a pretty traditional mystery film about a murdered girl and the detective on the hunt for the killer, but the film creates a very tense atmosphere where almost anyone could be the killer." - Adam Carpenter, St. Louis Post-Disbatch


"I feel like I've seen this movie too many times. The film felt like a jigsaw puzzle that uses the pieces of numerous films that came before it and assembles a very standard mystery out of it." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety

Rated R for disturbing violent content, disturbing images and sexual references.
