Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Fog is a perfect Halloween movie. It drips with spooky atmosphere, with a beach side town at night, creepy campfire stories told by a grizzled fishermen, and LOTS of fog. The movie is suitably eerie in its direction and score, with John Carpenter now a seasoned master of his craft. The characters (except the lead) are unfortunately bland and or unlikable. But they're not what you watch the movie for. You watch it for red eyed ghost fishermen silhouettes coming out of the fog to murder people with fishhooks. And that is exactly what you get. This blu-ray release from Scream Factory is also loaded with great bonus features for fans of the film, and even a reversible cover with the original 80's poster. Highly recommended.

This is my favorite film by director John Carpenter. This is just a good creepy ghost story with plenty of scares. Well photographed by Dean Cundey accompanied by a great score by Carpenter and a solid cast headed by Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh, Tom Atkins, John Houseman and Hal Holbrook. This is a slow burn film that builds suspense and is not overly gory. The transfer is great and the special features are great to watch. A great movie for a Halloween get together.

The Fog (also known as John Carpenter's The Fog) is a 1980 American horror film directed by John Carpenter, who also co-wrote the screenplay and created the music for the film. It stars Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Atkins, Janet Leigh and Hal Holbrook. It tells the story of a strange, glowing fog that sweeps in over a small coastal town in California, bringing with it the vengeful ghosts of mariners who were killed in a shipwreck there exactly 100 years before.

Another classic film from John Carpenter. The Fog is another one of his greats where there's no explanation of what's going on and it isn't needed. The horror is creepy and slow and it just burns at the right pace. If you haven't seen the original fog, you owe it to yourself to watch this movie.

This is an excellent release. "The Fog" has had many home video releases but "Scream Factory" knows what fans want in a release and they deliver. What is nice bout the film is that they include some of best extras that previous DVD releases had. They also included new extras including new interviews and a "Horror's Hollowed Ground" with Sean Clark. That man always does a great job. To me if he is featured on any home video release the .then its well worth buying. THE MGM RELEASE however has the audio commentary from John Carpenter and the late Debra Hill which was not carried over to the Scream Factory Edition.

The Fog has never quite attained the cultural cachet that Carpenter's Halloween has, but it's a very entertaining and often fairly spooky entry in Carpenter's filmography. There's an undeniably silly aspect to some of the scares, but the moral fiber of the film is where it derives some unexpected power from. This new Collector's Edition features excellent video and audio and comes jam packed with great supplements. Highly recommended.

This is not a GREAT horror movie by any means, but it is 80s John Carpenter, which in my opinion, automatically earns it 2.5/5 minimum. My fav thing about it is the music, but the story is interesting enough to keep me interested. I've had this on DVD for years and this is the first time I've had it on BluRay. I rewatch it every so often The video quality of this movie is pretty clear compared to the DVD.

If you're looking for a spooky film for the Halloween season, or just because, The Fog will certainly not let you down! If you enjoy any of John Carpenter's work, you won't want to miss this film about a small town that you'd love to live in, until the dark secret of it's founding is exposed... I would like to tell you more, but you should experience The Fog for yourself!

This is one of my favorite movies ever. Finally got it on DVD. I seem to watch it about once a month so I might as well own it. Carpenter is one if my favorite directors and composers. The soundtrack fits so well with the movie and is just as important as the writing and acting. It's got pirate ghosts... PIRATE GHOSTS!

The acting is bad the special effects are worse and the premise far fetched... but if you like old classic B movies like myself it's worth the buy...

I've been a big horror movie fan since I was a little girl. Always loved this one, the original is truly creepy, and even though the special effects may not be as gory as the remake, the spooky atmosphere is far superior. Some times old school is best.

One of John Carpenter's best films. With an all star cast that keeps your heart rate up. Carpenter uses sound as much as sight to ensure the viewer is never prepared for what will happen, you look left and the scare comes from the right. Leaps and bounds better than the remake that came out in the early 00's.

I'm just a fan of the early John Carpenter stuff! I love the creepiness of this movie as well as the music! The ghost story they start the movie out with is a classic moment . Granted, the ending is a little cheesy – but given when it was made, it's a great flick for the approaching Halloween season!

I don't need to tell you how good The Fog is as a movie. You should already know that. I've owned this movie on blu-ray, and now I've rebought it AGAIN once I saw the great new steelbook design and packaging. This great horror classic now has a great package to accompany it.

This movie is what it is, pre CGI. I do like way more than the remake. Seems the movies from years ago are caught up in story while movies these days are caught up in FX. The story is easy to follow and parts are somewhat hard to figure, i.e. the Curtis character hitching through town and winding up in bed quick;y. That is where editing comes into play. I enjoyed when it first came out and still do. It's a watch and enjoy with no deep thought required.

This CE comes with loads of extras. PQ and VQ are very good. Shout Factory! you've outdone yourself again. If you like John Carpenter, this is a solid buy. For you, slipcover lovers, it is hard to find.

I'm a longtime fan of John Carpenter's THE FOG and I own multiple versions of the film. And this steelbook by Scream Factory is absolutely beautiful. If you're a movie collector, a steelbook collector, or just a fan of The Fog, you will love this.

This is one of John Carpenter's earlier movies and it is one of his best. I like the suspense they build up though the movie. This was his follow up to his classic "Halloween" and I think it is one of the fore runner's to the horror genre.

Scream Factory releases an incredible Blu-Ray of John Carpenter's horror classic The Fog. The quality is stupendous and the extras are to die for. I remember seeing this movie in theaters growing up and never saw it as clean as this release.

I thought the original The Fog was spooky enough but now with the clarity of the blu ray release it is even more so. The parts of the money that were dark and hard to see are now revealed. The original The Fog is so much better than the remake.
