From the intro with the old sailor telling a ghost story on the beach to all the children, to the 'shock, didn't see it coming ending', this film pushes all the right buttons. 'The Fog', one of John Carpenter's films from what many regard as his golden era, takes a simple, run of the mill ghost story about 'wronged' leprosy sufferers seeking revenge from beyond their watery grave and sticks the tension levels up from the first scene. This has to be one of my favourite horror films of all time.
