Who's At The Door? - The Fog (1980)


The first of the films I always watch around Halloween. In each case I will use a clip that illustrates how somebody breaks a basic rule of horror. In this case, Don't Open the Door! (Though to be fair, the weather guy didn't know he was in a horror movie. A diploma in meteorology probably doesn't deal with that kind of thing.)

I have of course praised The Fog before, find my words here

I think what makes this film rise from the plot holes is its atmosphere. Dean Cundy's cinematography is excellent in creating the suspenseful mood. Plus, there's a fine cast here as well. Could have been pretty bad, but it wasn't. After numerous viewings I still enjoy the heck out of it.
