The Fog

Woohooo....what a mess this film is! In german called "Der Nebel" (engl. "The Fog"), I expected it to be a remake of the famous horror movie of the 1980s by John Carpenter. But this was something completely different.

The story: A village suddenly surrounded by a thick, eery fog and people in a supermarket trying to get along with that situation. Whenever they try to get out, there is some oversized insect coming out of the fog and killing them. Not really much of a story you may think...and you are right. But..okay okay...only very few horror movies have a good plot/story, but to me the arts of a good horror film is to keep the tension high and constantly up.
But this film is only bad. It has good animations but that`s all. Flat dialogues and a predictable, implausible story, - not enough for me. The only thing that you may call remarkable with this film is the end...it is really insane and unbelievable. I would not call it a Happy End...
