Fog

Pros: Cleverly directed, good special effects
Cons: None, unless you're taking yourself seriously

Inheriting much of the cast and crew of the preceding "Assault on Precinct 13" and "Halloween," "The Fog" is probably the least of John Carpenter's early films, but it really shouldn't be overlooked. Carpenter stretched a $1 million budget pretty far and ...

Pros: Creepy and scary because of craft, not gimmick.
Cons: Somewhat simplistic. No hot hero.

The Fog (1980) Directed by John Carpenter. 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, ...

Pros: Director, Narration, Story, Background, Genre
Cons: Zombie, Puzzling, Villain, Symbolic

Hundred years ago, on April 21, the wealthy captain Blake bought the vessel Elizabeth Dane and carried the crew of friends to Antonio Bay, California. They targeted to build the town with gold. However, while steering cross fog, they were misguided by ...

Pros: Nice, tight old style ghost story.
Cons: The plot kind of just happens.

Pros: Setting, acting, soundtrack, pretty much everything!
Cons: None

I think I'm stuck in the late 70's and early 80's. Today's horror flicks never seem, to me anyway, to capture the imagination and show creativity the way they did back then. Seems all directors are interested now adays is filling up the screen with CG ...

Pros: Setting provides eerie mood, suspense, jump out scares.
Cons: Some parts seem out of place and awkward, Jamie Lee Curtis character is pointless.

It is sad that this movie didn't get the recognition that "Halloween" got. "The Fog" I feel was more suspenseful, more entertaining, and has a better plot. It also has a better scare factor, because I like movies where things jump out, and this movie ...

Pros: Carpenter's score; fairly good pacing; spooky fog effects
Cons: Minor plot holes, but far fewer than in most horror films from 1980 onward

After the smash success of his 1978 horror/suspense classic HALLOWEEN, director John Carpenter, along with his producer Debra Hill, instead of exploiting that film's success with a sequel (for the time being, anyway), decided to make a ghost story. The re ...

Pros: Excellent DVD treatment of an above average John Carpenter film - efficient, atmospheric, and stylish.
Cons: Too many characters in the story, and not enough time to fully develop them.

INTRODUCTION
Some were disappointed...

Pros: Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh, Adrienne Barbeau; Will give you the creeps.
Cons: Some giant loopholes; unavailable on DVD; I can't say I'm Tom Atkins' biggest fan.

Tired of watching the same old horror flicks of today? I agree. Most of the major releases are some of the most putrid ways of wasting your time blankly starring straight ahead. Granted, there are some brilliant horror movies released over the past...

Pros: Suspense, characters and the setting
Cons: None

Fog is one if my favorites movie I watched it many times, but how ever it is now few years since I seen it last time, and I would love to see it again. Maybe buy it or rent it. I have a lot of friends who like it too. This movie is one of the best of the...
