Oil, Fog, and Death: Prime Video's TheRig delivers solid claustrophobic horror. ShaneRyanHere reviews
, a thriller in which scientists are isolated at a research station in the Antarctic and must face down a supernatural horror without any help from the outside world. The weather and the isolation contributed to a profound sense of claustrophobia that gave the show its character, and though it was hampered by its reliance on some rickety tropes, the series was enjoyable taken as a whole, particularly for its atmospherics.
, the new Prime Video drama starring a large cast of terrific, mostly Scottish actors including a couplevets in Iain Glen and Owen Teale . They are the denizens of Kinloch Bravo, an oil rig on the North Sea that unbeknownst to most of them is soon to be decommissioned. Against this sad post-capitalist backdrop, a fog rolls in, and with it all kinds of unpleasantness.
The short version here is that all communications with the mainland, and even the ship that’s meant to rescue them, are cut off, they blow by any chance of escape due to the greed impulse that prevents them from shutting off the oil supply, and finally they are alone, left with some demonic phenomenon that delivers insanity, death, and pretty much everything else you don’t want when you’re stuck on the North Sea with a bunch of cantankerous oil workers.
As far as quality goes, this is middling in the grand scheme, but if you enjoy this particular genre there are plenty of worse ways to spend your time. The casting is excellent , John Strickland does exactly what he needs to do as director, and there’s real suspense and real agony within the narrative., of the sense of impending doom, and of the desperate effort to survive whatever hell is coming and return to terra firma—the world that used to make sense.
