Yes, I thought that, too. but using Carpenter's ingredients is one thing: creating the same unique amosphere as in that movie is a very different. The Fog in no way is a great quality movie, but it has something that let's you love it nevertheless: atmosphere, and that is what I love it for.
This new movie, The Mist, has a religious lunatic to offer, apparently a person that in the end becomes as murderous as the monsters outside - that'S where my curiosity is coming from.
