'Nightflyers' is as gory as 'Game of Thrones', tense as 'Jurassic Park' and murderous as 'The Shining'. Need we sell it more?

The initial five minutes of the show prove that with all the right amounts of gore, just like GoT is known to abound in, 'Nightflyers' too will be a must-watch.
PUBLISHED NOV 22, 2018

SyFy released the first five minutes of its highly anticipated TV series, 'Nightflyers' - based on the novella by 'Game of Thrones' maestro, George R. R. Martin and safe to say, the show did not wait to establish whose brainchild it is. The original novella - of the same name - was initially turned into a film (same name) back in 1987, and now it is back again to shock and astound viewers, premiering as a series in less than two weeks on December 2. Previously it was decided that the show would be based on the book, but later, its adaptation was switched to follow more along the lines of the film. And the initial five minutes of the show is only further proof that with all the right amounts of gore that Martin's other famed brainchild, GoT, is known to abound in this too will be a must-watch. And oh, it also bears resemblance to scenes from 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Shining too' - making it the perfect Christmas treat to watch out for!
