Advantages: A good ghost story

Disadvantages: Makes sleep uneasy

Somehow ghost stories and Xmas seem to go together and this is one film which should be shown on the telly over Xmas.

A beach party with a huge camp fire attracts a ship at sea lost in the fog. Unfortunately between the beach and the ship there is a dangerous reef and the ship crashes to destruction on the jagged rocks. The crew, with their drowning breaths, swear vengeance on the inhabitants of the nearby coastal town.

Exactly 100 years later as midnight approaches, a single mother running a small time radio station notices the sea mist become a fog and start to roll in towards the shore. Aware of the tragedy 100 years ago and her son at home alone, she loads a tape to play over the air and sets off to get to him pursued by the fog.

This is a creepy film with only a bit of gore to satisfy those who like blood and thunder but the fog and the "look out behind you" atmosphere more than makes up for the lack of mayhem.

Watch it by yourself if you dare.
