Be interesting to see your views on (
The Terror: Infamy) LC
I really enjoyed it, OFT. Not quite as much as the first season (and comparisons are probably unfair whilst simultaneously inevitable), but I liked it. Like the first season, and like movies such as, say,
The Descent (Marshall, 2005) or even
From Dusk Till Dawn (Rodriguez, 1996) to some extent,
The Terror: Infamy is one of those tales which already presents a gripping enough premise without becoming a creature feature, so peoples' mileage may vary with this one depending upon how happy they are for an already fascinating story of the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII (about which I'll readily admit I knew nothing, although watching the show has sent me Googling for more historically accurate accounts) to be placed in tandem with an entirely supernatural
yūrei horror story.
Luckily for me, I love a spot of folklore-driven j-horror, so
The Terror: Infamy successfully pushed all my buttons, once I'd settled into it and gotten a feel for who's who, what's happening etc.
George "Mr. Sulu" Takei was wonderfully understated as elderly fisherman Nobuhiro Yamato, and it was great to see C. Thomas Howell chewing the scenery as the dastardly Major Bowen. Ooh, what a dastard!
It's out on blu-ray on Monday. For an old dinosaur like me who still collects physical media, that'll be an immediate purchase.
