Note : Many might consider this a minor Carpenter film, but it's very solid, a creepy ghost story directed almost like an action movie, with parallel plots of discovery and a pounding finale. It also features a bunch of Carpenter regulars, from his wife at the time, Adrienne Barbeau, to horror movie royal family mother and daughter Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtis, to character actor stalwarts like Tom Atkins and Hal Holbrook. While the romance between Atkins (unsettlingly mustache-less again) and Curtis, with the 23 year age difference, might be a bit weird and creepy, the whole thing is smoothly paced, briskly building up an atmosphere of dread and foreboding, and delivers some good scares. Also, look out for the numerous easter eggs, in particular the many character names that are references to people connected to the horror genre.
Once again a priest's discovery is central to a Carpenter film. As the town of Antonio Bay is about to celebrate the centenary of its founding, the local priest finds an old diary revealing that the town's founders stole their fortunes from the ship of a group of lepers, which they deliberately wrecked on the rocks outside of town. At the same time, strange supernatural occurrences baffle various of the townspeople, with a strange luminous fog moving against the wind out to sea, car alarms going off randomly, car windows breaking, and, on the day of the centenary, the discovery of a seemingly abandoned fishing vessel that had been engulfed in the fog the night before. Local radio DJ Stevie Wayne, resident Nick Castle, and hitchhiker passing through Elizabeth Solley all start to suspect something's off, and become involved in trying to save the people of the town from the supernatural menace as night falls and the fog rolls in again.
This is a quite good-looking remaster, although I think it's scanned from an interpositive or something similar, since the blacks are a bit crushed, and there's not quite as much detail in the shadows as there could be. Still, not much to complain about, the 5.1 remaster sounds good, the two commentary tracks are fun as usual when Carpenter's involved, and there's a plethora of subtitles.
