It’s hauntingly effective, the atmosphere it creates is unbeatable. The Fog is one of my favourite John Carpenter films, yet it’s often overlooked or just perceived as a decent film, nothing more. I think it’s a masterpiece!
@@horrorfanandy4647 You are so right, an absolute beatiful gem that is overlooked too often. Thinking about the final act with the fog rolling in, Reel 9 playing in the background... Its "only" Fog and no scary monster or killer, but it is haunting in a way that is not often recreated.
I think some horror movies now try too hard to capitalize on the haunting ambiance, thrilling shots, etc. Sometimes all you need is a minimalistic droning score like Carpenter shows here. Carpenter is one of my favorite directors both of all time and in the horror genre.
I bought the 40th anniversary in vinyl. Its one of my fav so far. Its so awesome listening on a good audiophile set up. You can hear the piano echo from the speakers. Real spooky soundscape.
This film scared the absolute shit out of me ad a child. I thought Alien was scary. This movie dropped pure terror. Fuck your Xenomorphs. Vengeful spirits are what will keep you awake at night.
The hull broke apart. The mast snapped like a twig. And all aboard the Elizabeth Dane drowned in their icy death. Their eyes open and staring up in to the black waters. Seven must die.
