42nd Worst Movie: The Fog

“The Fog” Starring Tom Welling, Maggie Grace and Selma Blair
Directed by Rupert Wainwright

The Mist: From The Tears Rolling Down My Face
By Michele Dillon

I can say that I have seen this movie before and I am really embarrassed to admit that it was in the theatre. I don’t really know what my thinking was at the time, other than me and my friend Stephanie used to go and watch scary movies when they first came out, no matter how bad they looked. I do remember that we left the theatre completely exhausted…from all the laughing. Between Selma Blair doing her fake sexy voice as a radio VJ and the THUMP THUMP THUMP to let you know when the fog was coming, it was a regular ole comedy up in there! Don’t even get me started on the ending!

Ok…well since you asked. So basically this old town is being haunted by fog. When the fog comes so does this old pirate boat that nobody sees (but we, as moviegoers were able too see it) and the pirate people get out of the boat and attack everybody in the town. Blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda…and THEN as if THAT wasn’t enough-this girl decides that she is going to research the weird happenings going on. She keeps getting dreams like she’s from the olden days. Pretty much, stuff happens, and then a small group of people realize that the old invisible pirate people are actually the ghosts of people who had come to that town a long time ago and made a deal with the townspeople. The townspeople decided to take the deal but then kill off the pirate people by burning them in their boat. Now the pirate people are coming back to kill off every family member who was a part of that olden day pact. But get this, one of the pirate persons that were killed, looks just like the real girl who was investigating this whole thing. And this is the ending you have all been waiting for, she can see the invisible pirate people and so she walks up to her old ghost lover and kisses him and then SHE becomes a ghost? Are you completely confused? Yeah…basically there wasn’t any other better way to explain that where you weren’t going to be confused because that is like VERBATIM how the movie happened. So sorry to burst your bubble; I know you thought this movie was going to be amazing and all. Better luck next time!
