The Fog (Blu-ray)

If you are a fan of John Carpenter and own a Blu-ray Palyer then this Disc is a must for your collection.

The picture quality is outstanding and the 5.1 sound just does it for me. A great one for you Horror Fans Out There!

I already had this film on VHS and updated to Blu-ray. I have always liked this film, very atmospheric. It's not full of the latest special effects and some of the acting is a little suspect... but it's a great watch especially if you use your imagination! But I only gave it 4 stars... Why? I expected more on Blu-ray, but I could not really see much difference between the original VHS and Blu-ray. Yes the picture is a little more crisp. On the plus side, the Blu-ray is good value for money and is ideal for updating your collection, especially if your clearing out the old VHS. I much prefer this original film to the newer remake...

Hailed as Carpenters finest work and part of his apocalyptic trilogy, The Fog brings together a handful of fine actors regularly used by Carpenter, stunning visuals and a sense of dread seldom found in the horror genre today. Set in a small town cut off from civilisation, a small group of survivors try to piece together the towns sordid history while on the run from the creeping fog and the horrors concealed within. With a perfect musical score and great cinematography, Carpenter builds slowly on the suspense and terror until the finale where we learn the true terror that the small town was founded upon. Great casting and well scripted, The Fog will leave you shaken and wondering why they even bothered to remake such a classic! Philistines!

Spooky and atmospheric,while it may not be one of Carpenters best,it remains a scary and effective little ghost story.

I love this film (along with all Carpenters other early work...), but can anyone advise what, if any, special features are on this disc.
