This film was listed on one of the lists of "scariest pictures" that I have previously referenced and so I watched it.
This movie tells of events that happen in a town in California called Antonio Bay on the 100th anniversary of the founding of Antonio Bay. It opens with a ghost story telling of a shipwreck that happened approx 100 years ago when Antonio Bay was founded. The film continues with strange events including a fog that seems to move against the wind. As it turns out the fog contains evil ghosts from Antonio Bay's past that terrorize and kill some of the residents of Antonio Bay. It falls to a small group of residents (and one person passing through) to try to hold out and survive the night of horror.
This film is one of the many great John Carpenter/Debra Hill pictures. The story is excellent. The actors are all great. The special effects haven't completely stood the test of time but they are still great as far as I am concerned. If you are a horror fan, this is a classic film that really shouldn't be missed. Just make sure that you watch this version rather than the 2005 version.
