The Fog
When Antonio Bay, a Californian coastal town, is about to celebrate its centennial, paranormal activity starts to happen. It's said that the gold to build the city a hundred years ago was taken from shipwrecked lepers and now is time for them to revenge. A fog glowing from the sea gets bigger and thicker and moves to the land, bringing the revengeful sailor.

Not much gore, but still too intense for kids.

The Fog is right in line with the types of film Carpenter made before his professional fall from grace: It's unpretentious genre fun, stylishly assembled and populated with colorful characters.

Orchestrates a thick pall of apprehension and good-time suspense.

During this period, Carpenter and his fine collaborator the late Debra Hill were so good at crafting suspenseful, slow burn horror stories with multiple storylines.

A completely solid piece of horror filmmaking that's only slightly undone by its flaws as a piece of horror storytelling.

... makes the most of the dramatic possibilities inherent in an isolated coastal town, as well as the scare potential of darkness, fog, and silent strangers bearing longshoremen's hooks.

Released four years after the Bicentennial, 'The Fog' might be a jaundiced corrective to the often uncritical self-congratulation of America's birthday celebration, with the ghosts as manfestations of manifest destiny's bloody heritage.

Carpenter has always been a master of scaring us with what we're not seeing as opposed to delivering an onslaught of carnage to assault our senses and The Fog shows that you can scare the hell out of people without showing them a lot.

The movie's made with style and energy, but it needs a better villain.

Though the plot is implausible and the unfolding story hardly makes any sense, Carpenter stylishly presents an eerie atmosphere for the zombie invasion.
