I ask just to see if someone can jump on the grenade for us. I hear it’s absolutely terrible, but I’ve also heard it’s got a lame twist ending. I’m all about knowing what the lame twist ending is from whomever may have already seen it, so… Anyone?

Didn’t see it but here’s the spoiler from [themoviespoiler.com](http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/fog.html). Looks like the twist is pretty lame, alright.

Sweet freakin’ jebus! Now I’m glad none of the Dopers have to leap on that grenade…

Then again, the original had a twist ending, too, but an ambiguous one:

After the cleric returned the gold (in the form of a gigantic cross – how gauche) to the ghosts, they retreated from their killing spree, along with their fog. Then the cleric returned to the church, only to find it full of ghosts again – who proceed to hack him to death. What’s left unclear is whether they are satisfied with this bit of vengeance, or if they proceed to revisit every survivor in the hamlet…

It looks like a made for TV movie, but a slightly better one.
