    A side-by-side, shot-for-shot comparison between the 1980 film The Fog and the 2005 remake. This video is intended to show the different choices made by two groups of filmmakers, one creating an original work and the other adapting it.

    The only thing that the 2005 film had going for it is when the ghost ship passes by the Sea Grass. In the 1980 film, we only see the ship itself. In the 2005 film, we can actually see a few ghosts on the ship when it passes by. I also liked the scene with the ghost trying to break into Andy's room in both films. But, personally, I loved the 1980 original film much more than its remake. My opinion.

      Funny, that’s actually, for whatever reason, my favorite scene in the 2005 version too. When the ghost breaks into Andy’s room. It’s OK in the original as well, but I feel like Tom Welling and the kid sell the fear factor a little better.

    I have absolutely loved the original for years. I never saw it in the theatres sadly, but I saw it on VHS in the mid 80's. The remake was a horrid let down. The only thing I can give it a bit of credit for is that it does give a little more of the back story. But the mood, music, cast and direction style of the original just can't be topped.

    Now you know why Rob Zombie Halloween was not a shot for shot remake it was longer different and more story driven.
    John Carpenters original is still the best and can’t be touched but Robs remake offered a different take and a new spin it was not a complete copy-cat this movie tried that and failed HARD!
    Also Robs film is the only Halloween movie to take place in a span of 17 years seeing Michael for several days, weeks,months and years all four seasons Fall,Winter,Spring,Summer.
    The other Halloween movies take place in a span of two days or just one day.

    John Carptenter's film was so much more intense. AND the fog generated on the set by the effects people and lit by the brilliant cinematographer, Dean Cundey was far more effective than what appeared in the remake. Carpenter's film will continue to be the one remembered, not the remake.

  • @DR.MF.DOOMSDAY
    @DR.MF.DOOMSDAY 8 місяців тому +3

    I think the less is more approach is something that should have been kept or just not remaking an already perfect ghost story
    Not revealing the ghosts completely, keeping the mystery of the back story and using the fog itself, the time it was released benefitted it also
    The remake was just not good, it was coming off the back of them early 2000’s slashers/horrors which included a fair few remakes that were just bombing in cinema.
    You either loved them or hated them - I hated this one

    So, you got a remake that is essentially the same just with more peng-pong-boink-zoink and a city run by 23year old. hmm ...
    Photography looks great in both films, different time, different look.
    Where JCs version is simple creating true fear, RWs version makes everything glow and explode rendering the suspense laugheble.
    And of course ... American Flag. Because that's important.
    And of course someone has to be tied to someone because, yes. Makes the story that much more interesting and thoughtful, because, yes.
    Lots of chliches unnesassarily squeezed into a classic film.
