Title: Amazon Prime The Terror
Post by: thebinmann on August 15, 2018, 10:41:25 PM: Binge watching with my wife and thinking of possible versions of this for GH, it's very Lovecraft.

Has anyone done anything based on this?

The producer in America is AMC. Maybe they have an other partner in the UK.

Post by: Bloggard on December 16, 2018, 02:23:41 PM: you can buy 'episodes' for streaming on amazon uk - I then had to do the prime thing to enable it an app to work on our TV - and intend to watch it as a spooky tale over Christmas with the folks.
have already cancelled the Prime membership, but the free trial lasts a month (ish).

a friend had recommended the book very highly, and having watched 10 mins or so, it looks a classy adaptation.

* I should add that it appeared I could watch the episodes on a PC, without having to take out Prime membership.

Post by: Monk on February 14, 2019, 09:27:33 PM: It was okay. Paid by the episode because it wasn't covered by our Prime account. It started out good. Goes on a bit too long for my taste.
