Jeff Buhler's 'Nightflyers' draws from many sci-fi classics, though based on George R R Martin's novella

Buhler's representation of Martin's space adventure story holds resemblances with 'Aliens', '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'The Shining', 'Solaris', and 'Event Horizon' among others
UPDATED DEC 7, 2018

There's no one way to talk about the space and its millions of infinities, and more importantly the horrors of it. But if we were to talk about the way George R R Martin wrote about the adventures, horrors and all the underlying mysteries of space, a good way would be Jeff Buhler's version of the author's 80's novella, 'Nightflyers.'

Buhler brought out a wonderful representation of Martin's story about the Thousand Worlds in the form of a SyFy series that's currently airing, but as much as I would like to think of it as the solely Buhler way, a closer look at the way the story has panned out, with its horrors, both physical and psychological, it seems to have drawn influences from other stellar alien horror and space adventure masterpieces. Several, different ones of them, in fact.
