The Fog: Original vs Remake - Why is Trev so Angry?

Something is coming out of the fog… and this remake might be the scariest thing of all.In this episode of Mart and Trev’s The Deja Review, we return to the haunted coastal town of Antonio Bay to compare the chilling horror classic The Fog, directed by John Carpenter, with the controversial remake The Fog.The original 1980 film became a cult favourite with its eerie atmosphere, ghostly pirates emerging from the mist, and unforgettable performances from Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis. In 2005, Hollywood brought the story back with modern visual effects, a new cast, and a very different take on the supernatural revenge tale.Mart and Trev break down the haunted history of Antonio Bay, the creepy fog effects, the scares, and the major differences between the two films, asking whether the remake improves the ghost story or loses the eerie charm of the original.Does the 1980 classic still send chills down your spine…or does the 2005 remake bring the fog back with a vengeance?Whatever you do… don’t answer the lighthouse radio.Two long time friends, one podcast.This is The Deja Review.Enjoy the episode and remember to like, follow and tell your friends.As always a massive thank you to Little Foil Fish for our theme tune - ⁠ @LittleFoilFish ⁠Mart & TrevSubscribe to our Podcast - ⁠ @TheDejaReview TIMESTAMP00:00 Introduction to Deja Review01:03 Spooky Season and The Fog03:00 Overview of The Fog05:54 John Carpenter's Influence and Style09:11 Cameos and Music in The Fog12:01 Inspiration Behind The Fog13:01 Film Reception and Cult Status15:52 Character Dynamics and Relationships18:48 Errors and Plot Holes in The Fog22:14 Transition to The Fog Remake29:01 Overview of The Fog (2005) Remake30:27 Film Critique: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly34:35 Character Analysis and Storytelling Flaws39:23 Pacing Issues and Character Overload43:48 Comparative Analysis: Original vs. Remake47:08 5 to 1: Jamie Lee Curtis Films55:21 Disappointing Films and Final ThoughtsKeywordsThe Fog, horror films, movie remakes, cult classics, spooky season, film analysis, film history, practical effects, soundtrack, film critique, storytelling flaws, character analysis, pacing issues, original vs remake, movie review, horror films, film nostalgia, cinematic disappointment#thefog #johncarpenter #TheFog1980 #TheFogRemake #horrormovies #culthorror #movieremakes #JamieLeeCurtis #thedejareview
