Things are amiss in the coastal town of San Antonio Bay, which was founded with gold plundered from a nearby shipwreck a century ago. That might explain the fog rolling over the town, its vengeful ghosts in tow. John Carpenter’s low-key, low-budget horror film was a rarity for its time, with three female leads — Carpenter’s then-wife Adrienne Barbeau, Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis and her mom, Janet Leigh (Psycho). It was recently restored in 4K. Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times summed it up nicely: “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 John Carpenter 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.” — Doug Pullen
