Summary: The Fog is a Good Film (Looks a bit dated)
Review: This film is in the era of the late seventies/early eighties new wave style horror films:Halloween/Carrie/Creepshow etc.
At the time not one of the greatest but it seems to grow on you the more you watch it!!
The opening sequence with the Edgar Allen Poe quote,the electronic type of music typical of the era and the atmospheric camp fire with the children.It has a ghostly seafaring feel,which draws you in.The actors typical John Carpenter (Jamie Leigh Curtis,Hal Halbrook etc.)Also Tom Atkins character who starts off very go lucky but ends up very sullen and serious!! The end scenes are truly scary and very atmospheric.Worth a second glance.

Summary: One of the creepiest and most shocking horror movies ever!
Review: Antonio Bay is a small town by the sea, with a deadly past. The town's Founding Fathers, in an effort to gain money to build their new town, caused the wreck of a ship carrying gold. They thought they could put the past behind them. They were wrong.
A fog is slowly creeping into town. With it come menacing figures...the ghosts of the dead sailors. They want their revenge. Six sacrifices, and the return of their gold. And if they do not get this...then there will be hell to pay in Antonio Bay. And not even God will be able to help them.
Staring Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh (the two, by the way, do NOT play mother-daughter characters), Nick Castle, and Hal Holbrook as a brooding and creepy Father Malone, "The Fog" is one of those great horror movies that doesn't involve much violence or gore (though there are indeed some shocking scenes); what's frightening is what you don't see, and what you are afraid of. With great casting and directing by John Carpenter, this is a horror film fans of the genre cannot afford to miss.

Summary: I have a 'foggy' recollection of it
Review: On the DVD it is revealed that the first cut they did 'wasn't scary enough' so they had to add stuff to make it scarier. Like cheap jumps that don't make you jump. And killings of characters obviously there just to kill.
However, despite being pretty much everything you expect, it squeezes it some interest. Some scenes are pretty tense. Personally I'll always prefer these sorts of films about scary things/monsters over real people. Halloween oddly being the exception. I can't help but wonder whether the people who give five stars to things do it either because they somehow feel they have to 'help' the artist, or whether they actually work for them...
This film is good, but rightly it's not considered a classic horror film. However... it makes me feel a little creepy when I see fog in real life. Just a little bit.
Some good set pieces in the film and good extras make this a decent DVD package. Just don't expect anything amazing like 'The Thing' or 'Halloween'.
I like the woman's breathy voice. Hasn't anybody ever listened to Classic FM? they talk like that

Summary: Never gets old
Review: I have seen this movie about 20 times throughout my life and never seem to get tired of it. It is creepy, funny and has a good plot. I love the setting of the movie and the cast is fantastic as well.(I believe that Jamie Lee Curtis' mom is one of the townsladies)
While I never get tired of watching this movie, there is also nothing special about it. It does not have the humor and savagery that the Nightmare on Elm Street series has. It does not have the wonderful irony and character development seen in Romero's Dead Series. It is missing the gore found in movies like the Re-Animator and Hellraiser. And, it does not possess that "I must watch to the end" quality that a movie like the Exorcist owns.
All of that said, this is an entertaining movie and one that I couln't imagine horror fans disliking. I have heard and vaguely remember it doing poorly at the box office, but then again, all horror movies seem to do poorly at the box office.
Buy this movie, because, as a horror fan, you will want to watch it a few times!

Summary: Do yourself a favor and skip this one..
Review: I just watched this movie last night because I was in the mood for a scary flick. I wish I would have not bothered. The plot is kind of slow, and very predictable. The acting is pretty bad as well (unless you really like Adrian Barbieu with a overly-breathy voice). Not scary, not entertaining. Boring, boring, boring. I can't imagine what people who give this a high rating see in this film.

Summary: Great ghost story!
Review: Scary moments, great eerie music, and Adrienne Barbeau getting friendly with the microphone. Next to Halloween, this is probably John Carpenter's best film. The glowing fog was very creepy.

Summary: Campy
Review: Fog is a campy 80s movie. It's not scary but still worth a look. Scream Queen Curtis is in it.

Summary: The Fog, that almost didn't come
Review: This is a pretty good movie to have in any collection. It does move a bit slow at times but it makes up for it by having a pretty good, well directed cast. The basis is a small town called Antonio Bay, CA and 100 years ago a ship hit the shore that carried a leaper colony, it was guided there by a small campfire that was set by 6 of the original townsfolk in order to crash the ship and not have them live close to them. Father Malone(Hal Holbrook) finds a book from his father in the church and it explains that the 100 year celebration is doomed for that town for the dead will rise from their watery grave in the sea and come back to find the 6 people that lit that campfire. It has some good 'sit on the edge of the seat' moments, and it has it's bad ones. In a nutshell when the fog rolls in the killing begins, and when it rolls out then it's safe. There are a few good climatic moments, this film when made was not quite scary enough to make it so they had to go back and reshoot some 60% of it to make it where they thought it'd get off the ground. I'd give it 5 stars if the 'ghosts' were more then just arms, and they actually kind of ganged up on the folks instead of one ghost per kill. Good movie though, make sure ya watch the start of it when they are all around the campfire, it's a pretty good story.
