Overview
Strange things begin to occurs as a tiny California coastal town prepares to commemorate its centenary. Inanimate objects spring eerily to life; Rev. Malone stumbles upon a dark secret about the town's founding; radio announcer Stevie witnesses a mystical fire; and hitchhiker Elizabeth discovers the mutilated corpse of a fisherman. Then a mysterious iridescent fog descends upon the village, and more people start to die.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A atmospheric slow-burn where a picturesque small town is methodically stalked and consumed by an unstoppable supernatural force emerging from the sea. Masterful use of fog, sound, and isolation creates mounting dread that builds to an inescapable doom.
