What is The Terror: Infamy about?
If you loved BBC’s oppressive drama Vigil, you’ll love this new horror series with a twist. Season one of The Terror: Infamy saw crew from Royal Navy explorer ships battle the elements as they tried to free themselves from icy conditions outside and claustrophobic cabin fever inside.
Add a sinister monster-at-large to the mix and you have the makings of a modern-day horror story. It is a massive change of scenery for season two of The Terror: Infamy, which is set in the future in wartime America.
This time Obake, a shapeshifting creature in the form of a woman and vengeful spirit, is the central character. She brings death and destruction to the Nakayama family and wider Japanese-American community.
