 Thanks for checking out this no spoilers show review This time I'm going to be talking about a film or a film a show that is currently streaming on Hulu It was originally on the channel AMC Which by the way AMC has a lot of shows just kind of like spread out over a bunch of different streaming services But I I do recommend the terror Like I said streaming on Hulu at the moment originally through AMC. It was from 2018, I believe This show is very interesting in my opinion It looks really good. It's very well acted and for people who are fans of game of thrones You're going to recognize some of the actors in it because it has them has the guy who was mans raider It has a guy who was edmire tully. I Think that was it Yeah, I think that was it But you'll you'll recognize those guys in there up front the other thing is it has a guy of the hour in a sense Who is stars in Chernobyl the HBO show Chernobyl, which I will also be doing a review of Jared Harris He is a huge character. He's kind of the main character in the terror Although there are a lot of characters and he's the main He's like basically the main character in the show Chernobyl and I think these are both really good horror related Shows so Jared Harris coming out of nowhere and just like killing it So like I said the acting is really good in this it looks awesome the cinematography is so good The directing is really well done The set design looks great the CGI that is used is nice and one of the best things for me is the story idea with us So from what what I read of the description when I was looking at the show This is kind of going to be an anthology show based off the seasons So this first season was one story and then they'll do a second season It'll be a totally different story, but the focus is basically Historical events and then they're writing about it with putting their own horror twist on it so putting injecting a little bit of fiction into factual events and I find that very interesting and This first season led to a very very interesting horror setting Which is an expedition to the Arctic to find a pathway through And people get then they get stuck And then there's something that's some things that go on and there's there's basically something out there that is not human Is it animal? Is it supernatural? Like you you'll kind of Figure it out as as it goes on it's ten episodes and each one is an hour long And I feel like it moves at a pretty good pace, but even when it's not moving fast there are very interesting characters and interesting character relationships to keep you involved and Honestly for me just kind of seeing Getting a window into the day-to-day of of what they portray as being you know The operations of these ships, especially when these ships aren't even really fully operating They're just kind of stuck in the ice is really interesting and the fact that You know lots of challenges come up because when you're stranded somewhere And you only have a certain number of supplies and people are kind of getting like cabin fever And then you have another threat outside and then you end up with a bunch of other threats that kind of materialize because of people being people It's just it's a lot that comes up and the thing is when I was watching it they introduce Conflict pretty early on and one of the main what I thought was kind of gonna be like the main conflict And I was just like man. What are they? What are they gonna do with all these extra episodes after this? but No, they keep it moving they keep it interesting and they keep introducing issues It's issue after issue after issue and that's one of the greatest strengths of this film in addition to be being a very unique story a very unique setting especially for horror Which definitely keeps your interest on its own The characters are really interesting and all these issues that come up and it's just like issue after issue after issue It is dark. This show is so friggin dark for that reason. So What's your level of horror that you're comfortable with basically and a lot of the darkness comes out of like real-life situations and it's just cool because it's kind of a look at You know when people are in these situations, what do they do like you as a viewer? You're just like I I think you should do this or I think you should do that a lot of the times And then you know, you'll see these times where they take the the total opposite approach to what? You would choose but I feel like they give you a really good with this show. They give you a really good feeling and Development to make you feel like you're in the environment They give you a good feeling of what what it might feel like to be in that situation Which is why they make decisions that you feel like as an audience member you wouldn't make So it seems like I wouldn't I wouldn't go so far as to say it seems like that the actions are justified But you can understand how they got there and aren't necessarily like well that was stupid That doesn't make sense they make it make sense And that's just great writing and like I said, there's really good acting to go along with that This is just an overall great show It does feel slow like I did kind of say a little bit it feels slow at times But there's a lot to look at there a lot of interesting interactions between characters And there are a lot of characters to interact with each other So even when it's slow things keep moving if that makes sense. I don't know if you guys You know does that translate? You know what I'm saying, but yeah, I was very Very impressed with this it it's a show that grabbed me immediately because of all the aspects of it that goes super well and Just the story is really cool. I really like the story They kind of lay out lay out upfront like within the first five minutes the outcome of the film But that doesn't really matter because it's about how do we get here? Like what are the events that took us to the end even though? We've already seen the end and some people when you see that you may think like well I already know what's gonna happen that kind of sucks kind of like with a movie like Rogue one like I felt like that film going into it You if you're a fan of Star Wars, you know the storyline that they're doing and you know that in the end Think it doesn't matter because you already know the ending and you know where everything's going But with this one it is kind of that where you know where it's going But at the same time you're like yeah, but how do we get there? Like you really want to know how did it get to this like how do how how does this play out? How does all this play out and you can't predict where things go? You really can't with this because like I said things just keep popping up and popping up and popping up and it is dark Like I said it is so dark, but I like that about the film It was not afraid to go there and their practical effects They did a good job with it mixed with the CGI There's action. There's horror. There's drama It's very good. So I really can't say enough about Recommending this I don't think it's like perfect It's not like the most amazing thing but on a five-star scale with half stars and play I'm gonna give a four and a half I think it's really well done and I think that people should check it out The only thing that I really didn't enjoy about this is there are some flashbacks in it that kind of give a little bit of Backstory on some of the characters to kind of like tie them back home But they those didn't really Feel like they mattered a whole lot to me in the grand scheme of things So they kind of seemed in the end more like time wasters that we didn't need and you could have just kind of cut Some of the episodes down a little bit time-wise. So that would be my only main issue is that they just didn't feel like It was necessary, but yeah Yeah, four and a half stars obviously a recommend if you haven't seen it Definitely watch the terror if you have Hulu or if you can find it some other way Have you seen the terror though? If you have put your feelings down in the comments Hit that thumbs up if you like this video or anything about it, but do me a solid hit that subscribe I would love you forever if you do It takes you like literally a second so painless Just do it, please and spread the word if you don't mind if you like the channel anything about it let people know I would appreciate that but anyway, thanks for checking this out once again. Until next time keep it brutal
