15 Least Scary Horror Movies Since 2000

3. The Fog

Hollywood€™s Devil worshippers had the formula for a successful fright flick down cold: a cast of unknowns and/or actors from television in their first lead roles, a budget in the $5-20m range to ensure profitability, enough special effects to entertain a caffeinated twelve-year-old, and a script written in crayon by Sloth from The Goonies. In 2005, they sat down and said to each other: €œRemember that John Carpenter film about the haunted fishing village? Here€™s the remake: it€™s Clark Kent and his African-American sidekick versus the ghosts from Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. With a wimp rock soundtrack. From the director of MC Hammer€™s U Can€™t Touch This video!€ Most of The Fog€™s cast either weren€™t born or were still in diapers when Carpenter€™s film came out, but hopefully they caught it on television. Hopefully someone did, although there€™s not much evidence of that in the finished film. Antonio Bay has become Spooky Island, where kids know best and all the adults are corrupt, so it€™s a shame that the teenage leads don€™t drive around in a van solving mysteries.
