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.

John Carpenter ne mérite pas le badge du film culte pour Fog. Un produit formaté qui ne ressemble quasiment à rien, les scènes se succèdent bêtement sur une musique qui ne fait aucun effet (assez surprenant de la part d'un réalisateur habitué aux compositions cultes). L'angoisse est toujours plombée par un scénario inerte...je ne lui trouve pas d'intérêt, ni sur sa forme et encore moins sur le fond. On lui accorde le charme des années 80 mais même Jamie Lee Curtis ne sert à rien.

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.

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.

Presumably there's an audience for old-fashioned ghost stories (even ones where the ghosts are slashers), but the pacing of this is glacial. Worse: it seems to have been done on purpose w/ much of the music doing its damndest to put you to sleep. (Does being sleepy make the scares more startling? No) The setting is picturesque & the cinematography is beautiful, which might be strong points in anything that's not supposed to be a horror film. The slim material would make a great 30 minute short.

The Fog is a very pretty movie with a great atmosphere. Not a whole lot going on with either the plot or the horror, but the creepy calm was more than enough to carry it for me. My new dream job is running a radio station from a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere

Moody and deliberate, this might be too slow a movie for some modern tastes, but I really dug it. Minor story problems notwithstanding, this features a very talented cast, a small town with a lot of personality, creepy visuals, and John Carpenter being, well, John Carpenter. It might not be his best, but it's very, very far from being his worst and tends to get underrated.
