Antonio O 10/16/2022 A true classic that relies on a good story and score rather than CGI and gratuitous gore. See more Mark H @RT45667637 May 4 A nice slow build of atmosphere and subtly score, this John Carpenter follow up to Halloween isn’t nearly as unsettling or genre defining as Halloween, but few movies are. This is a good, patient supernatural mystery more than a horror movie. Few graphic scenes, much like in Halloween. The story is a bit muddled, something about a 100 year old curse on the town caused by 6 town conspirators who deliberately caused a ship full of leprosy victims to crash upon a rocky shore and sink to their deaths. A thick blanket of fog aided the murder plot. Now, the ghosts of that doomed ship are returning to Antonio Bay, via The Fog, to take 6 victims to answer for the 6 conspirators. The story goes that when the film was previewed, it made little sense and disappointed Carpenter. About 30 minutes of new footage was shot, including a 5 minute intro which explains the legend via campfire story. The added scenes helped, resulting in an eerie ghost story and a staple for Carpenter fans. See more Dallas H @FozzieMcFly Apr 29 Watch this movie on April 21st at midnight. See more Erik B @Atma-X Apr 6 A typical slow-burning tale from the master himself. Lots of suspense and not too much "action" per se...but a good time nonetheless. AEB says: delightfully creepy! See more Anjum K @RT90179324 Mar 22 It was a sedate movie with all its sedate horror strewn here and there randomly. See more Julian C @juliancooper_12 Mar 13 A very creative plot with slow-building thrills. The movie overall is boring and I wish Carpenter added more to make it feel scarier See more Read all reviews
