Is there a scarier location for a supernatural thriller than an offshore oil rig? Arguably the most isolated man-made structures in the world, oil rigs are sometimes as many as 200 nautical miles from land and can usually only be accessed by helicopter.

So when it was announced that Amazon Prime Video was releasing a new six-part horror British thriller set on a North Sea oil rig, it caused a wave of interest.
