GHOST SHIP (DIDIER BECU)
posted on 06 Aug 2009Regarding the fact that this movie was one of the most rented horrormovies at various videoshops my hopes for this one was extremely high but it all ended up in some dissapointment. The title says it all, a crew enters a ghost ship and I assume you can already guess that there isn't that much chance of escaping. The plot (which of course I am not telling you) might be original but it also leaves you with the feeling that the director couldn't think of anything better. Ghost Ship never bores you as the special effects are far too splendid, but that is what is Ghost Ship all about, special effects....
The action in the movie was good but poor acting
posted on 04 Aug 2009Wait till it comes to your area cheap theaters before wasting your hard earned cash on it. The action was good but the acting has allot to be thought of, Special effects were OK also. The whole plot of the story is very interesting but very far fetched.
If someone gives it to you for free watch the first 5 minutes then use it as an ashtray.
posted on 29 Jul 2009This is a by-the-numbers forumla thriller with nothing to redeem it except the well-done and slightly creepy opening scene.*WARNING SPOILER* The only other decent scene is when the crew are shown being slaughtered later in the film, with quite innappropriate OTT music.Terrible acting, directing, dialogue, plot and concept. Don't see it unless you enjoy watching tired re-hashes of other mediocre forumla thrillers.
Horrible film
posted on 23 Jul 2009Ghost Ship is a horrible film. There's nothing interesting in the whole movie, the whole opening scenario that the rest of the movie is based on is preposterous, while there is nothing remarkable about the acting, special effects, or storyline about a crew going down to an old ship and finding that the people really aren't dead, and....well you know the storyline. There is an especially laughable scene where fast rock music is playing during a scene from the past that made me really think that this movie couldn't suck any more. There are so many elements in this film that dont make sense, and there couldn't have been a worse ending. I highly recommend not seeing this movie! 0/10
Formulaic
posted on 13 Jul 2009If you don't know the formula that has been used for countless movies, including 'Death Ship,' 'Event Horizon,' haunted house flicks, even 'Deep Blue Sea,' then there might be SPOILERS herein.In 'Jaws,' three men went out to kill a monster with understanding of the monster's powers and with reasons for daring the mission. The sailors in 'Ghost Ship' are morons. They had a fine reason to begin the mission, but from there, they do everything in their stupidity to help events with keeping them in danger longer. They have tempers, too, for they begin to yell and throw punches after one idiot irritates the other. Additionally, this is a B-grade edition of the formula, so there aren't even good special effects. Compounding all of this is that the edition is marketed to MTV viewers, so there's pop music and the editing and slow motion are in the MTV-styled rhythm. It's annoying, especially in the twist ending, which is ludicrous because if you know the formula, which is about the only driving reason to want to see this movie, then you already know that a twist at the end is likely. (I saw the movie indifferently, free of financial cost, by the way.)Apparently, many do enjoy watching formulaic movies, so here's the fun I tried to have: I guessed who would die and in what order. It was obvious that the woman would survive because the focus is on her from the beginning of the present-day thread. She has a relationship bordering on kinship with the captain, so that makes it likely that his death will be the most dramatic. The Black guy was right too often, so he'll die, because who wants him spoiling the idiocy. None of the others matter, especially jocular buddies; they're only there to die. I didn't guess the order correctly, but I was right about everything I just mentioned.
The biggest let down this year.
posted on 11 Jul 2009This movie was lame, it was claimed to be the biggest fright of the year, but i found myself yawning and wishing it would get to a good bit, the good bit never came!! All the gore and thrill finishes in the first 15 minutes of the movie.........dont bother!
The classical scary set with an extra turn.
posted on 03 Jul 2009Really. I expected one of those rather boring movies with the usual scary effect - I did however realize that this one was a little bit more than your average horror movie. I have a thing for frights without the splatter, and this one turned out to be - at least partly - just that. Way way better than I had expected, it actually gave me a neck ache from cuddling up in the corner of the sofa with a pillow!
"THE SHINING" OUT AT SEA!
posted on 27 Jun 2009This movie is a combinations of other horror movies: "The Shining" meets "Titanic" meets "Poltergeist" meets "The House of Usher". This movie is very intriguing. It dealt with greed, revenge, mystery, and finally redemption. The cast was not bad, the gore factor in this movie was highly disturbing, but it doesn't faze me a bit. If they would make a sequel it should be called Dead at Sea: Ghost Ship II. It should be more intriguing than the first one.
sucked ass!
posted on 23 Jun 2009i was really looking forward to this movie and i just rented it and i thought it looked good but god did it suck. it was completely rushed the whole script basically sucked. they coulda done so much with this movie but they didn't. poor poor job. i give it a 1.5 out of 5 because the visual f/x are good that's it. for anyone who wants to see this don't waste your time or money.
This makes me want to watch Titanic
posted on 23 Jun 2009First of all you have to suspend belief. From a very long rope, down a very deep pit.I am trying not to put a spoiler in but seeing as this happens early on in the film it doesn't really help.Everyone is cut in half on the dance floor apart from a single young girl. Firstly who is on the bridge steering and who is in the engine room. Not everyone would be in the one room surely. This must be against basic maritime practise.So everyone dies (almost) and this is the highlight of the film. From here on in you get the sinking feeling (pun intended) and just wish for the end to come, which it has to be said was a let down plot wise but blessed relief.Don't bother.
Truly Awful
posted on 23 Jun 2009Having now been converted to Eastern horror I suppose I was foolish to watch this film, expecting to enjoy it. I have realised for some time now that Hollywood horror is about as imaginative and scary as an episode of Scooby-Doo, not one of the better episodes either. This film started with a terrible idea, used bad script and direction to develop an utterly scare-less atmosphere and then insulted my intelligence by connecting every single aspect of the story, giving me absolute reasons for everything. I've seldom felt like my time was wasted watching a film because I love films and enjoy a variety of different genres but particularly horror. This was one such time when I think that 90 minutes of my life have been wasted and I feel aggrieved that I can do nothing to get those 90 minutes back.I'm actually writing this review wasting further minutes of my life but as I'm ranting I consider this therapy. If you do like a ship based ghost story I would recommend 'Deathship', from which I imagine this film was loosely based. 'Deathship' however is a superior film in every way to this and is worth 90 minutes of your life. If any type of horror is your thing then you must start to watch films like 'A Tale of Two Sisters', 'The Eye', 'Kairo' and 'Ju-on' to name a few. These films will alter how you judge other horror films and they will challenge your intellect as well as properly scare you.
Love Lost Boat
posted on 21 Jun 2009This story, with a luxury cruise liner, that has been, floating out in the Behring Sea, since well, 1962 is eerie in itself, this ship is so large and so grandly made that it would decimate practically anything in it's wayward path, at very least. But when it comes to finding this lost at sea vessel, this salvage crew is in for a major surprise. The Antonio Graza, is a whale of a large ship. Bigger than most, it was made to cross the waters, with ease. Watching this story work it's way to the point of searching for the ship, to me was an excellent visual, when the scope that Captain Murphy (Byrne) is using to track her, sort of 'skips' out then comes back on, and this extremely large vessel, is right in front of them, and they scramble to go into reverse, but only to run right into her! That ship was so ominous and dark, it truly put a start into me, the hairs on my neck stood up, when they found her. The ship that had run aground, had rust, and the paint had been corroded for decades. The vessel was well aged at sea, in the sun and salt air with the rains and waves etc, the plates on the deck of the ship, were, not all safe to walk across, adding a larger element of danger in just moving around on board. The cast was a good cast and the story is intriguing, it's an eerie thought to have a ship this size just floating aimlessly in the oceans for 40 years. The history on that ship alone would make it an 'A&E' spectacular.What a truly interesting set-up, although the script was kinda weak, in sections, could have used some help. I recommend this thrill sail, to any lover of haunting stories on the water.(***)
Nice scary movie preaches too much
posted on 19 Jun 2009If people want to make religious movies or movies marketed for the religious, they ought to warn the rest of us who don't care and just want to be entertained. If you want to make a movie about ghosts, you are not obligated to present spiritual credentials. And yet the film makers can't help leaving the impression that they consulted some unknown spiritual point of view to prop up their story and it made the whole thing boring.
Especially at the conclusion where my FF button was applied liberally.
not great, but good enough
posted on 15 Jun 2009This one won't rank amongst some of the horror classics, but still it's reasonably good, reasonably original, has some nice directing and some beautiful shots and sequences and is reasonably entertaining. In short it's reasonable enough to rent it sometime when you're in the mood.
Pretty darn good
posted on 20 May 2009I'm fairly picky when it comes to horror, and I truly liked this movie. The atmosphere is creepy, the acting is not bad, and it actually has a pretty decent plot. I am not a fan of gore at all, I prefer horror that doesn't rely on blood and guts, but this is an example of gore used the right way. The gross parts (and they're pretty shocking) are kept to a minimum and enhance the story. The ship itself is frightening in its own right and cast of characters that come alive with it are rather interesting. The only issue I have with the film as a whole is that the ending is ridiculously bad; but that's pretty standard. Overall, I would rate this as a "must see" if you are a fan of horror, and a "don't bother" if you're not.
Cool effects.
posted on 20 May 2009This movie is very underrated. Yeah maybe the storyline goes a little too quick, but it was a fantastic movie. The acting was great, and like my title the effects were cool. I especially like the scene where the tight string cuts everyone in pieces. Also it seemed like the spirits on the ship made the living characters turn on each other. It sort of had a Shining like movie twist to it. I also liked the scene where they found the previous people that discovered the Ghost ship all decomposing. So I would give this movie about 3 stars out of 4. Also 2 thumbs up.
Very exciting!
posted on 18 May 2009The special effects were nothing short of just plain awesome! The movie had an excellent story line, and an excellent cast of actors. Francesca Rettondini was beautiful! For her first American film, she filled the role well. The choice of Italian actors was great. There many of the outlines were definitely original. It keeps you on the edge of your seat! I will definitely be seeing this one a few more times at the theater before I buy it on DVD! This one gets a 10!!!!!
Stop the torture!
posted on 14 May 2009When will Dark Castle Entertainment decide
to say `no,' and stop trying to peddle its weak
and overly aggrandized crap onto society
and call it a horror film. Its time to smell the
roses fellows. Go back to producing and your
directing and stay away from remaking old
horror films. I laughed when I saw Juliana
Margulies as a featured actress in this
filmed, and then I cried when I found out
Gabriel Byrne continues to sell his soul
for terrible movies and bad parts. Add this
one to the past failures of 13 Ghosts and
House on Haunted Hill. Add this to the list
of potential firewood when the world ends
and we need something to keep us warm
(no matter how short it is).
Ship Of Fools
posted on 28 Aug 2009With visions of riches spinning in their heads, a group of irritating boat salvagers set out to explore what's left of a luxurious passenger ship lost for over forty years on the high seas. Given that this film is a horror flick, the viewer understands from the beginning that the ship has an array of spooky surprises waiting for our adventurous fools.The initial problem with this film is the salvagers themselves. They are not remotely interesting. They are stereotyped, stick-figure characters inserted to advance the preconceived horror plot. As a ghost story, "Ghost Ship" lacked suspense, at least to me. The film's gore and hokey supernatural element were overdone, too obvious and direct. To create suspense, the filmmaker needs merely to hint at the presence of a lurking terror, and to slowly build anticipation, on behalf of characters we know and care about. This film thus suffers the same problems that plague so many modern films ... lack of character development and lack of subtlety. The unfortunate irony here is that the film's huge budget allowed the filmmaker to spend money on explosions, stunts, and other elements that actually lowered the suspense.On the other hand, the set pieces were impressive, giving the ocean liner and the tug boat a sense of visual authenticity. And I liked the plot twist toward the end.In summary, the film's concept was intriguing and the story had potential. But an absence of sympathetic characters and an overemphasis on expensive cinematic gimmicks combined to lower the suspense, and render a film that was fat and impersonal.
