Product Description
- While it offers nothing new for horror buffs, Ghost Ship relocates its haunted house clichés to an eerily effective setting. The Italian luxury liner Antonia Graza, its fate a mystery for 40 years, has suddenly reappeared in the chilly Bering Sea. Lured by a seemingly harmless proposition, Gabriel Byrne and Julianna Margulies lead a salvage crew (including Ron Eldard, Margulies's offscreen partner and fellow ER alumnus) to claim the wreck. But a grisly prologue--in which we witness the horrific fate of the ship's crew and passengers--makes it clear that bad things are going to happen. And they do... with the predictability of tomorrow's sunrise. The supporting cast is routinely dispatched, but their fates are determined amid outstanding art direction, slick cinematography, and judicious digital trickery, all primed to maximize the doom-laden atmosphere. Director Steve Beck (who remade 13 Ghosts a year earlier) won't win any awards for ingenuity, but Ghost Ship offers a few good chills for a dark and stormy night. --Jeff Shannon

It's a sunken ship
The title caught my imagination. I watched it the theatre with high expectation. I was disappointed after 30 minutes in to the movie. There were only a couple of scary scenes. There's no suspense. It's so bad I did not care what happened for the last 45 minutes.
Score: 1

Middle of the road (or ocean) horror flick
I will say right off that I am not a fan of horror movies, especially the gory kind. Which this is. But I was a captive audience and, to my surprise, it was better than I expected. The story was predictable but the film itself was fairly well done with enough horrific special special effects to please any blood thirsty adolescent movie goer. The movie reminded me a tiny bit of "Alien" with a strong female character surviving while the men were picked off. I hated all the male characters, so this worked well for me.
The bottom line is: Do not spend a lot for this movie. Rent it or buy it cheap to watch on Halloween or when you have some friends over who are getting ready to leave for a cruise.
