Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who can't resist a good whodunit and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked The Empty Man? This is a good next one.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 26 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

In the Sahara desert, a sandstorm batters a deserted drilling station. A security patrolman battles through the high winds to investigate why all contact with the station has been lost. Originally built for gas exploration, and then abandoned, the site had recently been taken over by a multi-national research team intent on drilling deeper into the earth’s crust than ever before.
