4.0 out of 5 stars Ghostly Goings On, 1 July 2009
By 
G. R. Donaldson (Great Britain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Made in 1979 The Fog has never enjoyed the same favourable attention as its illustrious forerunner Halloween. The cast Adrienne Barbeau, Janet Leigh, Jamie Lee Curtis, Hal Holbrook and B movie legend Tom Atkins really give this film its legs with good believable performances. There is also the additional treat of a John Houseman cameo at the start, which sets the scene for the yarn.
The revenge story about a group of lepers betrayed by the residents Antonio Bay and tricked out of their fortune is a juicey one. The locations and the pre CGI fog effects are vivid and realistic. The music by John Carpenter gives the proceedings a suitable sense of forboding as the little island is shrouded in the ghostly fog. I really like this film as it has many scenes that will make you jump and its a great one to watch on a cold winters night. The disc has an excellent Makin Of Featurette that fills in any questions us viewers may have. Its hard to believe its thirty years old now. So if you like creepy ghost stories without to much gore then you should give this a look. Its a million times better than the recent ghastly remake inexplicably made by John Carpenter a few years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a classic..., 21 Sep 2006
By 
Ms. L. West "Louise West" (Holbeach) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fog (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1979] (DVD)
This was the first horror film I ever saw and continues to be one of my favourites. Living on the coast, I had always found the fog to be slighty eerie, and this film just confirmed what I had always known- there's something in the fog! The re-make loses most of the atmosphere that makes this a classic, so I hope that people reading this are ready for a real scare. The opening scene, with the old man telling the story to a group of children around a campfire, is one example of how the original is superior to the remake.The way the film is shot and how the music rests just on the edge of your subconcious is a masterpiece in editing, the acting is just cheesy enough to remind you that this is from the 70's without being ridiculous, and the vague shapes in the mist will stay in your mind for a long time. Even now, I hesitate when leaving the house when it is foggy. An amazing film, that taught me the meaning of fear.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MASTERPIECE OF QUIETLY SCARY MOVIES, 27 Sep 2009
By 
No weird effects, just John Carpenter's gift of making you use your own imagination to scare yourself. A mysterious fog, slowly but surely scared me more than Aliens or today's wild special effects. This is a classic.
