Fog City

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
