The Fog (1980) ***1/2 [Carpenter Double Feature Pt. 1]

The Fog (1980) is a good old-fashioned ghost story with a strong cast, typically excellent cinematography from Dean Cundey, and a tense, somber score by director John Carpenter. There are some moments that fall a bit short quality-wise, and some of the characters are underdeveloped (in particular Jamie Lee Curtis), but the sense of dread throughout is palpable and the craft on display is commendable.
