Fog City

To be clear, this is not great. It's low budget, wooden, and campy in cringy ways, but it's not a total loss. The characters are easy on the eyes, and some of the dialogue scripting was both intentionally and unintentially humorous. There are some nice cars that either unapproriately trashed the budget or were just borrowed from friends to show off a bit, because really that was their only purpose in the film during their feeble attempt to outrun killer fog. We get a little exploitation in both skin, costuming, and slasher elements, and there's a post credit scene to check out. Yes this is low ranking b rack stuff, but I found some entertaining elements for what it was. ..and I've seen plenty worse with less to offer.

This is one of those 'lets get all women in the film either topless or in a pushup bra' types. What attracted me was that this said there was no CGI. After watching it, it really didn't need any CGI - it's just fog and some blood. People get trapped in a house by the fog - the fog doesn't do anything, but they think it will so they barricade themselves in and, well, weird things happen. Not really weird, they just kind of go crazy. They definitely had a drone, because they have too many drone shots, but I don't think any tripods were used and at times, the lighting just washes everything out. I would choose another moving if you're looking for a horror flick.

Wooden acting? Check.

Ridiculous premise? Check.

Nonsensical decisions made by nearly every character? Also yes.

This is like a high school drama club was given too large of a budget and decided "cars and boobs are cool!" and built random scenes around that.

This was a complete waste of time, not even deserving a "so bad it's good" accolade.

I have seen films with nearly no budget outperform every aspect of Fog City in every way. This is the definition of someone being provided funding that should have NEVER been given money to make a film.

I feel like our current movie cycle is getting close to the direct-to-video quality we experienced in the 80's. A few diamonds in the rough, but mostly barely-watchable garbage.

And try to star in a horror movie... it doesn't go very well. The acting is bad, the directing is weird, and the whole idea has already been done multiple times. Fog takes over a town and makes people go crazy. Fog takes over a town and brings monsters. Fog takes over a town and everyone dies. How many more fog movies need to be made? I really don't even know what would make this movie 'better'. Maybe in another decade, when there aren't a dozen 'fog' movies and TV shows. Maybe if there were better actors or a decent director... maybe. Idk. 1 star. Boring cliche movie. I'd rather watch Scary Movie for the dozenth time - at least those ones are funny and know not to take themselves too seriously.

How can I give this anything less than a five, when I was dying laughing. It starts a bit slow and cringy, but it gets incredibly stupid so fast, I barely noticed. It goes from 0 to a 100 in a single scene. Well, technically it idles at 75.

5 "friends", maybe 7 or 6, who cares, go to some secluded house to do something I forgot about. During the night, they hear a siren and orange fog starts enveloping the area. They immediately panic, start talking how about they are all going to die, blame some nearby factory which belongs to one of the girls' family, start grilling her about what secret chemicals her father is making there and we are still at the point when the movie makes "sense".

If you are looking for a funny horrible film to watch with buddies, this is it. It starts going and never stops. After a certain point, every single action and word coming out of anyone's mouth is incredible. Like literally, not credible. Your brain will have trouble processing the information and will employ laughter as a defence mechanism.
