The Fog follows more of a 1950s creature feature plot than a late-70s slasher with three legendary scream queens.
Racist Trees (2024)
Can a tree be racist? A few years ago, debate on this issue reached as far as Fox News. The focus was a row of tamarisk trees along a huge golf course in Palm Springs, which screened off the neighborhood of Crossley Tract. This is a historically Black neighborhood, named after its founder Lawrence Crossley, who was one of the first Black residents to settle in the largely white tourist paradise, established on indigenous land over a century ago.

Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
