Boring. So incredibly boring. An absolute slog to get through. You know when you get so bored it literally gives you a headache? Someone please pass the Tylenol.

Great, effective, spooky ghost tale. This one has really won me over over the years. It's the best of Carpenter; moody, atmospheric and full of great characters.

I like Carpenter but this does nothing for me. Slow and boring. Don't blame it me being the MTV generation. There are many slow films I like but this ain't one. It's well shot. It's not scary at all.

The Fog feels more like an old fashioned coastal ghost story than a genuine horror classic. The storytelling is elementary and the scares are tame by modern standards, but the imagery is cool and the experience is fun. It may not be a great horror film, but there are worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
