Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Horror master John Carpenter offers up a triple treat with The Fog: Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, and Janet Leigh all in the same movie. As if that weren't enough, both John Houseman and Hal Holbrook make appearances, each clearly enjoying the novelty of being in a horror flick. The Fog opens just before the centennial celebration of the seaside town of Antonio Bay. Then the witching hour strikes, glowing fog rolls in, and all hell breaks loose. Carpenter wrote the script with producer Debra Hill, his collaborator on Halloween, and the two know their craft. It's a creepy story and a tight script, and, as in their previous effort, the audience gets to know the main characters a bit before they're put in danger. The movie also has a sly sense of humor: "Things seem to happen to me," says slasher vet Jamie Lee. "I'm bad luck." Barbeau is also obviously having a great time, sinking her teeth into her role as a frightened disc jockey watching the fog roll in from a lighthouse. The Fog offers a few shocks and plenty of good old-fashioned clammy chills. You'll never look at weather systems the same way again. --Ali Davis

The Bottom Line:

A really pretty terrible movie that is inexplicably beloved, The Fog sandwiches one or two effective scenes between reams of plot exposition and corny acting; only the "so bad it's good" effect saves the movie from an even lower grade.

Rating:

- From the director who brought us Halloween
THE FOG is an awesome horror flick that scared me when I saw it for the first time when I was only 8 years old practically making me afraid of the fog in general, since you cant see through the fog very well in real life, except in John Carpenter's masterpiece of THE FOG was almost like an upgrade of Carpenters 1978 flick HALLOWEEN, since the Michael Myers character seemed to have inspired Carpenter to make this movie(THE FOG).

In addition to that, I've noticed that THE FOG had some ... Read More

- I had a foggin good time!
This movie was great. The music was eerie and spooky. The atmosphere was moody. The story was entertaining. Need I say more? John Carpenter is a genius at creating unique films full of suspense and mood. THE FOG is a fine example. In the 80's Carpenter could do no wrong. He directed and shot brilliantly(panavision, widescreen, POV, wide angle shots from eye level) and he scored his films brilliantly. Check out the rest of his 80's cinema Fantastique!

I've never seen The Fog except in snippets on television. My wife, on the other hand, saw it at a Girl Scout movie night, which is either a cruel trick or a hilarious joke, depending on you perspective. Certainly, the movie scared the heck out of the poor girls watching it and my wife remembers it vividly.

Anyway, this gave the movie something of a reputation at our house that made it required viewing. With the release of the awful remake, I decided it was time for me to bone up on a little ... Read More

- John Carpenter's Sophomore movie - THE FOG
For me they could have done more with this movie.
Coming off the success of "HALLOWEEN" this movie
lacked a good storyline.
It's kinda like the fog came from no where and then
returned to no where.
Until the end of the movie do you understand why
dead people were coming out of the fog & killing
people.
If your just getting into watching some of John Carpenter's
movies check out some of his other movies this one isn't recommended.
I rate this movie ... Read More
