Ghost Ship

Entertaining movie for what it is. Not good but not bad either. Definitely watchable.

A by the numbers, late 90's horror movie. At the very least, it's entertaining and well paced.

Ghost Ship is an exciting supernatural thriller that delivers some frightening chills. The story follows the crew of a salvage vessel that discovers a derelict passenger liner that went missing in 1962, however it turns out not to be as deserted as they thought when they start seeing the ghosts of dead passengers. Starring Julianna Margulies, Gabriel Byrne, Desmond Harrington, and Emily Browning, the film features a strong cast. And, the set designs and special effects are pretty good; creating a haunting and foreboding tone. The music too is used quite well, particularly during the action beats and the dramatic climax. Still, the plot can be rather formulaic and even a bit confusing at times. Yet despite its problems, Ghost Ship is a captivating horror film that’s full of mystery and intrigue.

Never saw this until today. Not really a horror movie , not really scary, not even a physiological thriller but was a decent watch hard to believe this was rated R

Predictable, the movie establishes some rules that makes it unable to finish, so it brakes its own rules otherwise the movie should have ended in half the running time. It’s not unwatchable for sure, but if you have something else you on your watchlist go ahead leave this one for when you have nothing better to do. Also the acting and effects are mediocre

Ghost Ship (2002) - ❤x6

Rewatched this tonight and I forgot about the totally awesome opening scene! This is an OK movie for what it is, but there's really nothing special about it - except for that opening scene - lol.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

More like Sea No Evil.

Anywhere...

It's not quite the sinking ship that some people have made it out to be, as there were some interesting and entertaining aspects in the movie that made the overall experience watchable. I mean the flashback scene that shows the passengers on the ship and how they died was so over the top that I'm still amazed just thinking about it. Also it was a lovely surprise to see a young Emily Browning.

However, the movie itself is filled with problems. The visual effects are outdated, some of the acting is a bit iffy, and I feel like the director who previously made 'Thir13en Ghosts' the year before, just made the same movie but this time it's on a ship.

I find it really annoying how early 2000's horror movie, for whatever reason, has a heavy metal soundtrack to it. I'm glad that died out.

What a fucking mess. Was anything about this ever supposed to make any sense? Or did everyone go into this with full intention of one gigantic syfy channel joke? Hell I'm not even sure if Syfy would want this. Facepalm.
