    Ahh, love this film, one of my favourite John Carpenter flicks. Remake was terrible.

    I agree its one of JC's weaker flicks, but it isn't horrible. Plus any movie with Tom Atkins is alright in my opinion.

    I really liked this movie a lot! I thought the atmosphere was great, the leper pirates were creepy, and the acting was good. I might be biased because I'll watch anything with Tom Atkins and it is a childhood favourite, but I don't see where it could go wrong. It's not Carpenter's best but it certainly isn't mediocre.

    I just got finished watching this again, actually and in this case, I can sort of see both sides of the argument.

    I really enjoy The Fog, personally. Beautiful cinematography, great atmosphere, a creepy score and decent acting performances all around make for an enjoyable viewing experience.

    That said, technically, is it one of John Carpenter's best films? Probably not.

    I will go so far as to respectably disagree with Fullmoon_Fever's earlier post, however. Apart from the obvious, being Halloween and The Thing, I honestly do prefer The Fog over a majority of the films listed here. But, hey, everyone's tastes are a little different, right?


    By the way, for anyone who dug the music in this film, I recommend checking out the track Elizabeth Dane, by The Vision Bleak. I realize not everybody is a fan of metal music, but they recorded a cover of the film's theme for their album The Deathship Has A New Captain and it's really quite tasteful.

    Given this is only my second post, I guess I'm not aloud to include links. But, if you do a search on YouTube or MySpace, you're bound to come up with it.

    I never saw the remake, does it hold a candle to the original?
    No. :straightface2:

    I got to meet Adrianne Barbeau earlier this year at Horror Hound in Indy. I got a signed copy of her autobiography as well, good read.

    I think it was a pretty good ghost flick but it is one of the weaker JC films, I still liked it though and the remake sucked ass.
