Movie Reviews

Empire - 8/10 by Will LawrenceGhoulish, tense and utterly fantastical, John Carpenter's tale of shipwrecked spectres squelching their way through a fluorescent fog to wreak vengeance on a seaside town is a classic campfire yarn.
The New York Times - 7/10 by J. HobermanThe Fog is more spooky yarn than streamlined scream machine; it’s the sort of crowd pleaser best enjoyed with an audience.
L.A. Weekly - 6/10 by Craig D. LindseyEven amid all the campy, uneven creepiness The Fog unleashes, you have to give it up to Carpenter for continuing his knack of making women just as ready as men to get into heroic, survival mode whenever some strange shit goes down.
Newsweek - 5/10 by David AnsenThe Fog is constructed of random diversions. There are too many story lines, which necessitate so much cross-cutting that no one sequence can ever build to a decent climax. The movie looks quite pretty but prettiness of this sort is beside the point in such a film.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertThe Fog is encouraging because it contains another demonstration of Carpenter's considerable directing talents. He picked the wrong story, I think, but he directs it with a flourish. This isn't a great movie but it does show great promise from Carpenter.
The A.V. Club - 5/10 by Noel MurrayRemoved from its context as the highly anticipated follow-up to a horror classic, The Fog lingers as a crafty and loving assemblage of pulp gimmicks, played out in a location that rivals Hitchcock locales for pure eye-vacation appeal.
Washington Post - 4/10 by Gary ArnoldThe film's real problem is Carpenter's diffuse narrative, which introduces far too many characters--forcing the director consistently to cut away to each story strand, thus destroying much of the suspense. What does work, however, is Carpenter's unmatched visual style and the marvelous photography of Dean Cundey.
User Review - 10/10 by Computey18The Fog feels like a really good ghost story, in which it is. This movie nails it's atmosphere and story.
User Review - 8/10 by 9v7qe5sGreat location and story, creepy atmosphere, creepy music. The Fog (1980) is an awesome movie. If you like horror and supernatural films, you'll definitely like this film. It is about a glowing fog that invades a 1980's Northern California seaside community, and within the fog are the ghosts of shipwrecked sailors from 1880 seeking revenge for their deaths. This film has a really creepy atmosphere, probably one of the best in the horror genre. It is one of John Carpenter's best films, and one of the best horror films in general. Recommended.
User Review - 7/10 by eva3si0nThe Fog is a typical thriller from John Carpenter. Literally from the first 10 minutes of viewing, it becomes clear who the director and composer of the film is. The Fog is for the most part a B-thriller with elements of light horror. But there is no horror here, and what may be similar to it in 2022 causes only cringe. The Fog will be boring to watch the vast majority of viewers in modern times, with the film failing the time test. It can only be recommended to fans of the genre and Carpenter fans like me. Fortunately, unlike most films of thrillers of the 80s in The Fog, the timing is only 1.5 hours and the film does not have time to get tired, although the action is somewhat delayed.
