A contemporary review from Bosley Crowther of The New York Times described it as "a heavy and dreary recital of largely synthetic woes, laced with moderate suspense and spotted here and there with humor".
Review by Craig Butler. Out of the Fog has everything going for it that a great 1940s noir-ish thriller needs -- except a top-notch script.
