“The Fog” is a horror thriller, written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill and Directed by John Carpenter.
The story is set against the backdrop of the
peaceful community of the coastal town of Antonio Bay, California who are
making preparations to celebrate the towns’ centenary.
However strange supernatural occurrences
blemish the festivities as an unearthly impenetrable and opaque fog rolls off
the ocean to shroud the seaside town and leads to unaccountable disappearances,
so is there something evil lurking in the fog?
Could it be linked to events a century earlier
when a hideous crime was committed by the town's elders when they sealed the
fate of a ship full of drowned mariners now lying on the bottom of the sea.
So has the fog brought the restless dead
seeking revenge and demanding justice?
Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet
Leigh, John Houseman and Hal Holbrook bring this ghostly tale to life, while
the photography by Dean Cundey makes it all seem real.
