Of all the people to take part in the most significant mission in human history, they choose (checks notes) a grief-stricken scientist who happily deletes crucial data, a weirdo Peeping Tom captain no one's ever actually seen, a pair of ex-lovers with unresolved issues, and a very angry telepath with a tendency to reach into people's worst memories. The cockney telepath is played by Sam Strike, one of the psychos from Mindhunter, which just about says it all. There's no one on board the ship who doesn't have some kind of bloody backstory. And with the performances covering the full spectrum from sinister frowny whispering to sinister angry whispering, it adds up to a pretty one-note experience.

As if the crew isn't volatile enough, the Nightflyer is one of those spaceships where the interior decorator's brief was to be as gloomy and creepy as possible. Shadowy corridors echo with children's voices, red lights glow nightmarishly, and video screens glitch people's faces into skulls. It worked in Event Horizon, which heavily leaned into the gothic shenanigans to entertaining effect. But Nightflyers doesn't commit enough to the weirdness to pull it off.
