This is the title of a film on BBCiplayer I am watching at the moment.

It’s a strangely spooky horror film but with a difference.
Two ships are sailing in the Antarctic around 1845 on an expedition to explore.
They are the Royal Navy of that time.
Difficult to describe but they are pursued by a strange arctic creature and there are grisly consequences.
It’s written by Ridley Scott.
If anyone has seen it, please let me know what you think about it.
As I said before, it’s very strange, but also compelling.

I am watching this. I haven't seen the other thread. I just think how awful for those men stranded in the ice. It is true that those two ships did try to make their way through the Arctic to create the Northwest passage. Both ships disappeared and we will never know how those men died but this is a good story. Not sure about the strange creature.

Yes Mr Jolly and I are enjoying Terror. Its very well done and I believe there is an element of it based on a true story. Very brave souls all.

I discovered this at the weekend. It’s not the type of thing that I would normally watch but I am enjoying it.

I’m half way through, it is very well done. Jared Harris is such a good actor. There is interesting information on the other thread I think Urmstongran posted it.

The more I watch of it the more I am impressed by it. I just have two episodes to watch which will be harrowing. I hope this gets lots of awards.

I watched part 2 last night intentionally and am finding it gripping.
