Ridley Scott Meets ‘Chernobyl’ in AMC’s 3-Part Historical Horror

After all, he’s the director behind Alien, that 1979 masterclass in unbearable suspense, where an unknowable, unstoppable, and thoroughly grotesque creature picks off trapped humans one by one. Those slow-burn sensibilities extend to his work as an executive producer on The Terror, AMC’s critically acclaimed anthology horror series.
