Review of Fog Island

Fog Island (1945)
2/10
Big headache
1 July 2011
This is supposed to be an atmospheric creepy house, murder mystery.

It begins as such with the usual group of unsavory suspects, and a hero and heroine.

It just completely deteriorates from there.

The clichés are worse than tired. They are absolutely dull. Instead of giving us mystery, the constant shifts and creeps in the shadows just give you a headache.

It's hard to care about anything here. The hero and heroine are okay. The others aren't motivated in the least. They just bore us. They sound like they had to write the lines as they went along, and didn't care what they wrote.

It's the dullness that drags this down. The atmosphere should have been there, but it isn't. It is horribly written and directed, and this from someone who likes old atmospheric movies. This is an ordeal, and not to be seen without aspirin.

May cure your Insomnia, but that's it.
