The Fog (1980)

100 years ago, it moved across a small town creating a terror no human being should ever live to see again! Now, it has returned.

An unearthly fog rolls into a small coastal town exactly 100 years after a ship mysteriously sank in its waters.

The Fog is a 1980 American supernatural horror film directed by John Carpenter, who also co-wrote the screenplay and created the music for the film. It stars Adrienne BarbeauJamie Lee CurtisTom AtkinsJanet Leigh and Hal Holbrook. It tells the story of a strange, glowing fog that sweeps over a small coastal town in California, bringing with it the vengeful ghosts of mariners who were killed in a shipwreck there 100 years before.

The Fog was not well received by critics upon release but was a hit at the box office, making over $21 million domestically on a $1.1 million budget. Since release, it has received more positive retrospective reviews and has become a cult classic. A remake of the film was released in 2005, which was universally panned by critics.
