The Fog

About This Movie

The Fog (2010) offers a unique blend of genres, weaving drama, science fiction, and war into a narrative that feels distinctly atmospheric. It’s interesting how the film captures the innocence of young Russian soldiers, thrust into the chaos of World War II. The pacing has a reflective quality, with moments of tension punctuating the foggy backdrop that serves as both a literal and metaphorical barrier. The practical effects, while not always groundbreaking, enhance the eerie vibe of the fog itself, making it a character of sorts. Performances are raw and earnest, highlighting the boys’ transition from naivety to the harsh realities of combat. It’s not your typical war film and that’s what makes it stand out in this niche.
