The Fog (1980)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by John Carpenter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not quite sure why it took me this long to see this movie for the first time.\u00a0 I love Carpenter.\u00a0 I love Jamie lee Curtis.\u00a0 Hell I love Tom Atkins and Adrienne Barbeau and her awesome rack.\u00a0 Somehow this one slipped through my fingers a few times.\u00a0 So I gave it a watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movie is about this small town that has a fog roll in.\u00a0 Sounds boring right?\u00a0 Well the fog carries with it evil beings that slaughter people.\u00a0 All this happens exactly 100 years after a ship sinks near the town.\u00a0 The story is rather simple but that\u2019s the beauty of it.\u00a0 Some of the simplest plots make the best horror, ie Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting is great all around.\u00a0 Tom Atkins is always great as the every man.\u00a0 Jamie lee Curtis is fresh off Halloween and Terror Train, she does a solid job in this as well.\u00a0 Adrienne Barbeau is someone I\u2019ve always appreciated, she had such an exotic look with her very angular face and rocking body.\u00a0 She does a very good job in this as well.\u00a0 Honestly everyone is on point.\u00a0 It is crazy how much is brought from Halloween into this production.\u00a0 Carpenter directs, Dean Cundi shoots it, Jamie lee Curtis, Charles Cyphers, Nancy Keyes all star in this.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure there\u2019s way more but these are the ones I noticed myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kills are pretty decent.\u00a0 Nothing too outlandish.\u00a0 The suspense and pacing is pretty solid as well.\u00a0 The killers or beings or ghosts or whatever are really cool looking and creepy.\u00a0 Shabby clothing and glowing eyes are haunting in this.\u00a0 The atmosphere created is probably the best part honestly.\u00a0 The fog rolling in is ominous for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a good time watching this.\u00a0 Is this as good as Halloween?\u00a0 Not nearly but it is a solid movie, especially in the horror genre.\u00a0 If you like horror then you\u2019ll enjoy this, I wouldn\u2019t say it is essential viewing but it is worth your time.\u00a0 I give the Fog a solid B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
