Beyond Night Country: 12 Chilling Polar Horror Stories
If you like True Detective season four, here are a dozen movies or TV shows that will keep you scared the whole endless night.
This indie Canadian movie is very clearly indebted to The Thing, and while the limitations of its miniscule budget, lackluster actors, slow-to-a-fault pacing, and lack of score don’t put it anywhere in the same league as Carpenter’s classic, Black Mountain Slide has moments that will make your spine tingle. 30 Days of Night breaks slightly from the typical requirements of the Polar Horror subgenre because the town of Barrow, Alaska, (a real place that has since been renamed Utqiaġvik) is not a hubristic or doomed research facility but a community, albeit one that’s exceedingly remote and north of the Arctic circle. The series, which is in English despite being a production of HBO Asia and Hulu Japan that was helmed by a Spanish director, follows a group of researchers who return for their shift at a facility near the South Pole only to discover that the team who stayed behind during the six months of night are all dead or missing — save for one member.
