Directed by John Carpenter • 1980 • United States
Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins
Long-buried secrets come back to haunt a small town in this triumph of atmosphere and creeping unease from genre great John Carpenter. Drawing inspiration from the moody masterworks of Val Lewton and the hushed dread of classic ghost stories, THE FOG unfolds in the quiet coastal town of Antonio Bay in Northern California, where, as residents prepare to celebrate the village’s centenary, they find themselves terrorized by a series of increasingly strange and disturbing occurrences. Could the mysterious glowing fog enveloping the town really be retribution for the unspeakable events of a century ago?
