…Jump Scares. "AMC's new horror show, The Terror, premieres tonight with its first two episodes. Those who tune in will discover a show that's deeply unsettling and filled with dreadful foreboding--but not a lot of actual scares. And that's no accident, revealed The Terror's showrunners and executive producers, Soo Hugh and David Kajganich. "Jump scares, we have a real allergy to," Kajganich said at a press event recently in Los Angeles. "As in senses of humor, there are just as many senses of horror around, and we wanted to dip into a lot of them…We wanted to mix things up. We wanted low brow tools, and high brow tools, and mid brow tools, and we wanted to take horror conventions from everywhere. And so we offer the viewer a kind of smorgasbord, if you will, of different ways that you might feel unsettled, or frightened, or spooked…"

At first I was thinking this show was a historical accounting of the expedition, then there was the super-natural aspect and I was a bit disappointed. Now… I think the super-natural stuff is really the hallucinations of the lead poisoned crew and coming back to their interpretation of what might have happened on the expedition. Everything else is pretty spot on as far as known facts. |

I love it – great cast, performances and costuming. It looks simply fantastic. Calling it Season 1 though is weird. How long can they stretch this out really? I hope it ends soon as the plot can't withstand 20+ hours I wouldn't think. I came in tabula rasa though and know nothing of the historical precedent. |

I read the novel years ago. I'm surprised to see it filmed as a series. A series is best since the original novel is quite long, yet compelling. |

They go to Antarctica looking for the Northwest Passage? Wow, seriously? If you ask me, I think they need a better navigator! Dan |

I blame the penguins. When it comes to giving directions, they are hopeless. |
