The Fog stars Tom Welling as Nick Castle and Maggie Grace as Elizabeth Williams. Tom Welling is the star of the WB's Smallville. He plays a young Clark Kent before he moved to Metropolis. The Fog seemed a lot like a episode of Smallville complete with it's usual music choices. Maggie Grace was recently killed off of the very popular show Lost on ABC. Her Lost TV step brother Boone played by Ian Somerhalder also met the same fate dying off of Lost. He coincidentally, played a character named Adam a few seasons ago on Smallville.

I'm honestly not a fan of horror, but this one wasn't all that bad. I think the normal horror pictures that are thrown our way with gory blood and guts scenes are nothing but low life garbage. The impact these kind of scenes have on younger generations is likely something none of us would like to know. The Fog was not gory, although it was very intense and not for kids by any means. It kept a good pace and makes a great flick for your average teen or the young at heart.

The special effects were pretty cool. I love to see ghosts and effects like that on movies. The only problem I had with the whole thing was the ending. I'm still trying to find it. Is it to be continued or what? I want ruin it for you by telling you what happens. It's still worth watching, but seriously your likely to be scratching your head for a while afterwards over it's very abrupt ending.

So far Tom Welling has done well going from Cheaper by the Dozen to this film. I hope he keeps it up. If you haven't caught his show Smallville, do yourself a favor and check it out.
