The Terror

In the middle of the 19th century, two ships from a geographic research service are sent to the Arctic to find the Northwest Passage. After going far enough north, both vessels are trapped on all sides by pack ice. The fate of every member of the expedition is now in danger—because besides the shortage of coal, spoiled provisions, and constant cold, another threat has appeared: some kind of creature that gradually kills one person after another.
