Just like in the original stinker, the residents of Antonio Island (it was a coastal town in the original) are celebrating their 100th birthday. Ends up the town was founded using money stolen from a leper colony the founders massacred a hundred years ago. Interesting idea. I can just see a horde of leper zombies rising from their watery graves and slaughtering the entire town. Tearing out intestines, crushing skulls, impaling people on spikes and then parading them around town, gouging dudes eyeballs out and then ripping their testicles off and sticking the testicles in their eyeholes, then putting their eyeballs where their nuts used to be...you know, normal leper colony zombie stuff. Unfortunately, all we get is a dude and his hot girlfriend thinking something weird is going on. Then a reimagining of all the lame shit that happened in the first movie. Even some of the same lines are reused. Boring. The biggest differences are the lame CG ghosts and the dumb as hell ending. And I mean dumb! Other than that, it's the same slow-moving snoozefest as the first movie.
Zero horror, boring story, zero gore, zero blood, zero nudity, generic bad guys and one of the most unsatisfying endings of all time. Also, I love the fuck out of Tom Welling on Smallville, but he was on autopilot here. THE FOG remake is a total waste of time. Skip it.
If you need me I'll be in my room reading J. F. Gonzalez' "Clickers".
