Antonio O 10/16/2022 A true classic that relies on a good story and score rather than CGI and gratuitous gore. 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 Buddy W @BuddyW Feb 8 A masterpiece of horror that, although it has a cult following, deserves more credit as a horror classic than it gets. I truly wish they would make a sequel to coincide with its 50th Anniversary. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 3 The Fog is a strong example of classic horror storytelling from an earlier era. While it isn’t particularly scary by today’s standards, it’s undeniably compelling and creative. The film relies more on atmosphere and mood than outright fear, which was common for horror movies of its time, and it works in its favor. What stands out most is the storytelling. The narrative is clear, focused, and consistent, allowing the mystery to slowly unfold without feeling rushed or sloppy. The film builds tension through suspense and eerie visuals rather than shock value, keeping the audience engaged even if it never fully terrifies. Visually and tonally, the movie does feel old, and that may limit its appeal for modern viewers expecting fast pacing or intense scares. However, that age also gives it charm. The creativity and craftsmanship are still present, and the atmosphere remains effective. The Fog isn’t perfect, but it’s watchable, well-made, and historically important. See more Read all reviews
