John Carpenter’s The Fog (4K Restoration!)

Lock your doors. Bolt your windows. There's something in THE FOG!

Following the success of the 1978 horror benchmark HALLOWEEN, director John Carpenter‘s THE FOG found him re-teaming with “Scream Queen” Jamie-Lee Curtis in this H.P. Lovecraft-inspired, atmospheric creepshow.

Set in a seaside California town commemorating its “unholy” centenary as it finds itself caught in the terrifying grips of an ancient curse, a doomed ship – and a creeping mist. Lovingly remastered and restored in glorious 4K, the film features the mother-daughter team of Curtis and Janet Leigh, and stars Adrienne Barbeau, Hal Holbrook, Tom Atkins, John Houseman.

THE FOG is more spooky yarn than streamlined scream machine; it’s the sort of crowd pleaser best enjoyed with an audience.” (New York Times)

The Fog is pivotal to the cementing of Carpenter’s aesthetic.” (Slant Magazine)

THE FOG (John Carpenter, 1980 / 89 mins / 14A) Strange things begin to occurs as a tiny California coastal town prepares to commemorate its centenary. Inanimate objects spring eerily to life; Rev. Malone stumbles upon a dark secret about the town’s founding; radio announcer Stevie witnesses a mystical fire; and hitchhiker Elizabeth discovers the mutilated corpse of a fisherman. Then a mysterious iridescent fog descends upon the village, and more people start to die.
