Reviews:
“Terror actually turns out to be a pretty good show. There’s plenty of action, good f/x, a unique twist on the alien visitor plot, and the Nordic locations have an eerie, otherworldly look. Wilson has never looked sexier than she does here; she’s helped a bit by doubles, of course, for her scenes involving skating, skiing, and a surprising nude scene.” Cinescape
“Even if the Stockholm scenes are a bit talky and stiff, the fun starts fast when they arrive in Lapland. A quite unexpected shower scene and a performance by legendary Swedish singer Brita Borg (not at the same time of course) and the fantastic locations make it a unique old school sci-fi.” Ninja Dixon
