The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Terror, Season 1 (2018)

Starring: Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, Adam Nagaitis, Paul Ready, Ian Hart, Ciaran Hinds, Greta Scacchi, John Lynch,

Premise:
In 1847, the Royal Navy sends two ships to the Arctic in search of the Northwest Passage. The ships get stuck in the ice and face starvation, mutiny, the natural elements, and a supernatural like polar bear.

My Take:
The series plays up a constant feeling of eeriness and dread for the crew while leaving the viewer teetering between the edge of what is real and what cannot be explained.

Rating: So Good

Watched: AMC
