John Carpenters iconic ghostly classic, THE FOG. As Antonio gets ready to celebrate its 100th anniversary, but tonight the people. Will not be safe , in this peaceful quaint seaside town. As sailors who got murdered return and, appear in the eerie glowing thick fog . To seek revenge and , avenge there deaths. Now they must , do everything they can , to survive through this night of terror. It is a total jem and, truly deserves to be appreciated by everyone .

This film is like a scary story being told around a campfire, not terrifying but very entertaining and with a great atmosphere. Has a fantastically eerie soundtrack scored by Carpenter.

Classic suspense horror with not too much blood and gore. Don't bother watching the remake, utter crap
