Ghost Ship (Steve Beck)




"Aside From The Opening Scene, This Movie Can Drown"

After finding a passenger ship a small crew decided to tug it back to land, but run into a few ghost problems along the way. Actually Ghost Ship has a good premise. Ghosts on a ship, so really the victims have no way of escaping and you can possibly be in for some good death scenes and a creepy atmosphere. Ghost Ship fails to deliver any of these things. Aside from a good opening scene, this movie can drown to the bottom of the sea.

Byrne and crew act like pieces of wood that float down some kind of contaminated river, along with their acting chops is the script, the music composer and the director. Ghost ship simply fails to deliver good scares and creepy chills, but does leave you with a headache. Right from the beginning we get a great death scene, with a boat wire ripping through the torso's of the crew, with the exception of a small little girl, who was too short. After viewing such a good scene, one would imagine much more to come, too bad the movie takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

We need to sit through horrible dialogue, even for a horror movie and one of the stupidest death scenes ever. The black guy with his pants down, falling down an elevator shaft? PLEASE!!!! If I could, I'd wrap this in a treasure chest, fill it with cement and throw it in the ocean, hoping no one will ever find it. The music does little to help with any creepy atmosphere left in the film and actually begins to irritate some. Ghost Ship manages to become one of the worst big budget horror movies created. The title for worst horror movie ever created, big or small, goes to Carnivore. In fact Carnivore is the worst movie ever made.

Do yourself a favor and skip useless trash like this. If you get to watch it for free, stay for the first five or ten minutes, then get your ass out of the room before you damage your eyes even further. I'm warning you, this movie is that bad.
