Plot
A mysterious fog rolls into a California seaside town on its centenary, carrying the vengeful ghosts of sailors.
Sinekatalog’s take
John Carpenter's ghost story is a classic campfire chiller. Simple, atmospheric and driven by that creeping glowing mist, it is as much about mood as scares.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
