I enjoyed Dan Simmons’ sprawling novel about the doomed Franklin expedition, and this handsome, well-acted adaptation does justice to the haunting story of 19th century Arctic horror and survival.
A peculiar blend of historical fiction and supernatural horror, The Terror is a chilling speculation on the fate of the doomed 19th-century polar expedition led by Sir John Franklin. Though it’s not an easy breezy read at over 900 pages long, it’s a meticulously researched, deeply absorbing and deeply nightmarish tour de force.
