The Fog

CriticsCritics: 65
AudienceAudience: 6.7

As a coastal California town prepares for its centenary, strange disturbances point to a buried secret from the community’s founding. When a glowing fog rolls in from the sea, a priest, radio announcer, drifter, and local fisherman face an eerie supernatural threat.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you prefer slow-building ghost stories, moody coastal settings, and suspense over constant gore; Not for you if you want fast action, deep characters, or polished modern effects.
