Fog

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: Suspense, characters and the setting
Cons: None

The Fog
Starring:Tom Atkins,Adrienne Barbeau,
Jamie lee Curtis, Hal Holbrook,and Janet Leigh

There are few horror movies that make me grit my teeth anymore, but The Fog did just that. The whole concept that there is...

Pros: scary, ghost pirates!, well-made
Cons: 80's clothes, hairstyles, sunglasses, ew...

You have to give credit where credit is due: John Carpenter and Deborah Hill make a perfect couple when it comes to writing, directing and producing an outstanding horror flick. Their original "Stab" began with Halloween, and pretty much ended...

Pros: The fog, the female DJ, the lighthouse, Antonio Bay
Cons: Hard to follow

I just loved that DJ's voice. Oh she just sent me over the edge. Sexy as all get out!

This movie is one that I like to watch on long winter nights, snuggled up with hot chocolate. It sounds like I think the movie is no big deal but I do think...

Pros: great
Cons: great

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...

Pros: Carpenter, Ghost Pirates (you didn't hear it from me) - The Priest is great.
Cons: Jamie Lee

I saw this movie a few years ago on TNT when I was just entering my Carpenter fan phase ( a phase i have not grown out of, I'm happy to say)

I was amazed at how such a hokey concept (a fog rolls in - people die) could be...

Pros: Jolts, jumps and creeps.
Cons: If you like ghost stories, none.

Yeah, I'm a big sucker for John Carpenter. I love almost all of his movies. This is yet another in the 'I fell in love with this movie as a kid and I still do today' series I have. It's a simple and quite effective little horror movie that still stands...

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.

The Fog
1979, directed by John Carpenter, released by MGM

Movie
This is John Carpenter's follow-up to the monstrously successful Halloween. With The Fog, Carpenter and Debra Hill have crafted a good...

Pros: Game performances, eerie atmosphere, Carpenter's artistic touch, special DVD edition.
Cons: Usual small town under siege, some unnecessary elements.

THE FOG is an Avco Embassy Pictures presentation and is rated R for horror, violence and language. The running time is 90 minutes, and it premiered theatrically October 8, 1980.

INTRODUCTION
Some were disappointed...

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: 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: 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: Barbeau's sexy Stevie Wayne character, excellent supporting cast, great John Carpenter score, creepy settings
Cons: Low body count

"The Fog" is John Carpenter's worthy follow-up to his classic 1978 smash hit "Halloween". More ghost story than slasher flick, "The Fog" tells the tale of the spirits of a drowned leper colony who met their doom 100 years...

Pros: fright factor,
Cons: special effects

If any of us watch films such as this one--you know, the ones from the early 80's and/or late 70's, we are quick to point out either the bad acting or horrible graphics. However, this one may make you look past each of those.
You are drawn into the...

Pros: good anticipation, keeps you on the edge of your seat
Cons: Adrianne Barbeau as the DJ, not a very good part for her

Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis teams up with John Carpenter again to make an early eighties fright flick about a lethal group of undead pirates that lay siege to a small oceanside town to reclaim the gold that was stolen from them while they lived....
