Fog City

Who put the bucks up for this?

Two girls in tiny schoolgirl uniforms and driving a Lambo get stuck in a mess. As this movie started I thought it must be a comedy because at the start one of the girls beats u two meatheads for no reason whatsoever adn the sound effects that are used are from a Three Stooges short!

Alas, it is not. At least not intentionally. The sex scenes start early just as the fog comes in. The acting throughout is wooden.

Unfortunately the director has no clue how to create tension. Or, frankly direct. There are endless scenes of foliage and a warehouse for no reason. And the kids spend 15 minutes saying "let's drive away" without doing anything.

It's a horrible movie that should never have been made.

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.

I've been looking forward to this since saw trailer and the poster a while ago.

It's filled with very sexy actresses. Dressed provocatively so the director knows what he's doing with regards to that at least. Ha ha.

But the script is the big let down here. It has so many plot holes.

Also.

Aren't these people all meant to be best friends??

Even before the nasty Fog arrived they were all so bitchy and nasty to each other?? Constantly making awful remarks and slagging each other off?

I refuse to believe these people would hang around with each other if dislike each other this much.

So badly written characters.

Why are they dressed as schoolgirls. And why didn't the rich girl change out it work clothes for the 'party' ??

How many times did she fall off that balcony? Ha ha ha.

The FX were good but not nasty enough for me. The acting passable for most part, especially working with such dodgy dialogue. Edited ok except the falling off balcony. Smh.

Wilhelm scream was amusing to hear.

How did the cop not see her in basement when he shined the light right on her?

It's not a terrible film. Yes of course could have been better writing and the ending was silly but worth a watch for sure. Far far worse out there.

Did I mention the women were all hot?

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.

A Spoiler-free Review

This skinemax-grade movie is about sexually-active young people losing their clothes while sealed in a house with a gun, an axe, and a role of duct tape being the only things to protect them from daddy's deadly vape cloud outside.

It's not good. It's not fun.

Well, actually, it is kind of fun.

Sometimes you'll forget why you weren't having a good time. Other times you'll remember why and come back around to having a bad time. But, then, something will happen and... am I having a good time? What's going on?!

It's silly. It's gross. It's gratuitous. It's cheesy. If you have an uncle no one likes visiting with, this might be one of his favorite new movies.

If you're looking for a 4-out-of-10-star skin and horror flick, this is going to be your jam!
