Profile of Ghost Ship

Ghost Ship can be described as scary, suspenseful, and mind bending. The plot revolves around isolation, ghosts, and supernatural abilities. The main genres are thriller and horror. In terms of style, Ghost Ship involves twists and turns and is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It is set, at least in part, in a haunted house and on a ship. Ghost Ship is located in Alaska. It takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for teens and a boys' night. Note that Ghost Ship involves sexual content.

Summary of Ghost Ship

In the midst of a 1962 pleasure cruise, the passengers and crew of Italian luxury liner the Antonia Graza are systematically slaughtered and left in pieces by a gang of terrorists. Forty years later, the ship is spotted drifting in the Bering sea. Fresh off a six-month journey, an Alaska-based seafaring salvage team lead by Murphy (Gabriel Byrne) and Epps (Julianna Margulies) are approached by a Canadian weather spotter (Desmond Harrington) who noticed the derelict vessel on a flyover. Tempted by the possibility of untold riches, the crew takes on the job of tracking down the ship. Once aboard though, strange things start to happen, beginning with Epps's sighting of the ghost of a little girl. After the team finds a cache of gold, all hell breaks loose, and the angry ghosts make themselves known--and begin destroying the intruders one by one.

Purely and simply a floating haunted house tale, GHOST SHIP is a creepy thrill ride that compensates for its lack of originality with some creepy art direction and a number of very grisly special effects. Director Steve Beck (13 GHOSTS) keeps things appropriately dark, and coaxes suitably world-weary performances from Gabriel Byrne and Julianna Margulies, who makes an appealing heroine.

That creaking noise you hear in Ghost Ship is the rattling of countless plot skeletons that have sunk before. Full Review

Chicago Tribune

An adequate horror movie for the Halloween season, but it too easily sinks into haunted-house-film conventions, even if the haunted house is decked out as an Italian luxury liner. Full Review

I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you have no other options and you need to watch a horror movie. The movie is about a ship that disappears roughly 60 years previous, and nothing was known of its demise or where it went. However suddenly... Read and rate it
