John Carpenter has already let the world know with his smash horror hit Halloween that you don't need a big budget or a whole lot of gore to make a scary movie. However, his next film, The Fog, only keeps up... Full review

The only reason this movie get's something high as a C is because of Adrienne Barbieu's boobies. The best in the business other than that it was a great disappointment at the time it was made. I read the book in... Full review

Well, this movie is a little disapointing because it's not as good or as scary as Halloween! This wasn't really scary even for an old movie. There really isn't any gore in this movie either. The remake of this movie is... Full review

The previews didn't really seem good, but when I went with my friends, I really liked it. The songs were good, but some were too long. But overall, it was really good and it taught people to not judge people by... Full review

They do a couple of the same gags from the original film, only far better accomplished. He's GREAT in the original THE FOG. It makes an ok horror film and unforgettably wonderful experience. Ever since that moment, Tom Atkins has been my hero. ... Full Review

replacing practical, more convincing effects with lazy CGI....The shameful 2005 remake missed the boat on these key attributes, using inferior sets....Loomis is a hoot, getting most of the film's best lines.....As Elizabeth (a far cry from Laurie Strode), Jamie Lee Curtis is headstrong and likable, but underwritten;....As the male lead, Tom Atkins (1982's "Halloween III: Season of the Witch") is handsome and charismatic as Nick Castle.... ...

It always feels like a bit of a cheat when you sit down for a good horror movie and you end up getting a lecture on paranoia, or whatever. In the cinema of reduced visibility, I think it ranks well behind "The Fog," wherein the real monster was a spectral pirate with a hook for a hand, and he was chasing Adrienne Barbeau. ...

Pretty brilliant notion from John Carpenter: Combine scream queens Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis with old-school actors like John Houseman and Hal Holbrook. Here they come together in a story about a fog that invades a seaside town, carrying... ... Full Article
