The Fog was another great atmospheric horror movie. The directing, the cinematography and the production design was wonderful, but what have truly helped to make this one-of-a-kind atmosphere was the John Carpenter and Alan Howarth originalThe Fog was another great atmospheric horror movie.

The story isn't maybe at the best and some characters would probably be more interesting with a different cast.

The Fog will be boring to watch the vast majority of viewers in modern times, with the film failing the time test. It can only be recommended to fans of the genre and Carpenter fans like me. Fortunately, unlike most films of thrillers of the 80s in The Fog, the timing is only 1.5 hours and the film does not have time to get tired, although the action is somewhat delayed. The only thing that disappointed me a lot in the film, this decision to show ghosts, it destroys the atmosphere of the film considering how cheap and childish they look… Expand

The Fog feels like a really good ghost story, in which it is. This movie nails it's atmosphere and story.
