Their captain's insane vision of a Northwest Passage has kept the crewmen of "The terror" trapped in Arctic ice for two years without a thaw. But the real threat to their survival isn't the ever-shifting landscape of white, the provisions that have turned to poison before they open them, or the ship slowly buckling in the grip of the frozen ocean. The real threat is whatever is out in the frigid darkness, stalking their ship, snatching one seaman at a time or whole crews, leaving bodies mangled horribly or missing forever. Captain Crozier takes over the expedition after the creature kills its original leader, Sir John Franklin. Drawing equally on his own strengths as a seaman and the mystical beliefs of the Eskimo woman he's rescued, Crozier sets a course on foot out of the Arctic and away from the insatiable beast. But every day the dwindling crew becomes more deranged and mutinous, until Crozier begins to fear there is no escape from an ever-more-inconceivable nightmare. (less)

In THE TERROR, the incomparable Jack Nicholson (in one of his earliest leading roles) plays Lt. Duvalier, a soldier in Napoleon's army. After separating from the rest of his unit and becoming lost, he catches sight of Helene, a beautiful woman walking alone along the Baltic Sea.. He follows her to a castle where he is introduced to Baron Von Leppe (played by horror icon, Boris Karloff), who appears to dabble in witchcraft and the dark arts. Upon this discovery, Lt. Duvalier sets out to rescue Helene -- but he soon finds out that she has some dark secrets of her own.... "...It's a treat to watch the great Karloff and a baby-faced Nicholson square off, and the story packs a couple of nice surprises." - Matt Brunson, Creative Loafing. "Scene by scene, it's a delightful Ovidian creature." - Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion. (less)
