Some people might consider me a complete moron now, but I find this a pretty entertaining horror film.
The fog isn't a movie where you have to think and stay focused the whole time, like the ring. It's more a no-brainer, you rent for a day, like the later Friday the 13th movies. This kind of movies don't need to be scary, you just need to enjoy the killing. The special effects are nicely done. The computer generated fog looks pretty neat, but in some scenes you can see they just used plain smoke. The acting wasn't great, but not the worst acting in a horror movie.
I don't think this movie is a complete disaster, I rated it a 6, because it was entertaining, but not scary and that are most horror films these days. You just need to learn to like these new kind of horror movies and not expect it to be scary, but entertaining. I also didn't see the original, so I didn't compare it or something.
