The stuff of nightmares

Reviewing Blanck Mass' soundtrack for Amazon Prime's supernatural mini-series The Rig for Buzz, I suggested that "it manipulates your senses and imagination arguably even more effectively than a screenwriter or cinematographer could". Having since watched three episodes (for my sins), I can say with confidence that it manipulates your senses and imagination significantly more effectively than The Rig's screenwriter and cinematographer do.

It's hokum of the highest order - cliched, contrived, poorly acted, full of clunky dialogue and interpersonal dynamics that fail to feel remotely convincing. And certainly not worthy of a soundtrack of this quality.

Anyway, here's the review.
