User Reviews
HorrorFan1980 – 7/10
“I've always loved the eerie atmosphere in this film. The fog itself feels like a character, and the ghost ship reveal is iconic. It's not the scariest movie I've seen, but it's definitely a mood piece that sticks with you.”
SlasherSteve – 5/10
“Honestly, I didn't get the hype. The pacing is really slow in the middle, and the scares are pretty mild. I respected the practical effects for the time, but I wanted more tension and less talking.”
SheWhoHaunts – 8/10
“For me, this is Carpenter's most underrated movie. The dread builds slowly, but when it pays off, it's chilling. The performances are solid, and the sound design is incredible. I love the ghostly whispers and the ship's horn.”
CriticAtNight – 6/10
“I thought it had a strong start and a great ending, but the middle felt a bit disjointed. The idea of vengeful spirits from the sea is cool, but I wish they had shown more of them. Still, it's worth a watch for classic horror fans.”
