A strange, glowing fog rolls over a small coastal town one hundred years after a mysterious shipwreck and when vengeful ghosts go on a killing spree, residents look for answers even as they try to survive.
"In the decades since The Fog debuted, Carpenter's made a wide enough variety of films - action, science-fiction, social satire and more - that this particular picture no longer seems like a departure. Ultimately, it's a JohnCarpenter Movie: concerned with group dynamics, unhelpful authority figures, strong women, the sins of the past, and that moment when helpless isolation shades into outright terror." - Noel, Murray, Los Angeles Times
