Sensational atmosphere; there's a shot early on in the small vessel that simply has to be one of the best compositions Carpenter has ever done. Genuinely unsettling at times. A gripe: it wasn't so much fog as it was billowing steam. Beggars can't be choosers, I reckon! The final act's conclusion is the result of some hilariously convenient coincidences AKA stupid, but, whatever.

As with 'Halloween', Carpenter gets the pacing and music just right in this simple but very effective nautical horror film. As a viewer you are immersed in a very eery atmosphere of fog as sound and image. This is highly disciplined and restrained film making. Hal Holbrook as Father Malone is one of the most likeable religious figures in any film that I've seen.

Low budget and light on plot but plenty of atmosphere. Makes sense that this was modestly reviewed in its time--in particular the guys that come out of the fog and attack people are pretty lame--but (as much as I hate to be this guy) it feels so much more impactful and engaging than 99% of what we get from horror nowadays.

While the script is clever, the acting is solid, & the atmosphere is on point, the overall story leaves quite a bit to be desired. The characters are all one-note and hard to get invested in, the lack of a real protagonist hurts the narrative, the kills aren't very fun, & the villains being so hidden for most of it honestly does more bad than good. It's a solid movie that likely would've been worse in someone else's hands, but it's really nothing special. Still, as a classic it's worth a watch.

A cozy little ghost movie from Carpenter. The Fog is not one of his best films, but not the worst either. It is perfectly ok. However, avoid the remake.

If you can detatch yourself from the progress made in special effects over the last 40 years and look past the goofy storyline, then you may, just may be able to comprehend that this was once quite scary. Having said that, The original 'The Thing' is still scary and shits all over this.

Carpenter loaded The Fog with haunting atmosphere and a very unsettling tone. If nothing else it serves as another satisfying horror picture for the famed director. Even if the screenplay is missing a lot of the creativity, and overt weirdness of what he would become known for.

Mr. Machen: "11:55, almost midnight. Enough time for one more story. One more story before 12:00, just to keep us warm. In five minutes, it will be the 21st of April. One hundred years ago on the 21st of April, out in the waters around Spivey Point, a small clipper ship drew toward land."

Despite featuring zombie pirate leper ghosts (5 points up just for allowing me to write that phrase), the only time the film managed to conjure up any dread was when I realized halfway through how much longer I would have to watch this snoozefest.

This and First Reformed actually made a great double bill. Will God Forgive Us? And more importantly, do we even deserve it? Also, the score fuckin slapped

Feels more like an exercise in building an atmosphere than actual storytelling, which is fine because it's stylistically stunning at times. Feels as self-contained and endearing as Carpenter's other films, but lacks any real tension and the story is pretty dumb.
