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

 Ghost Ship January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
The salvage crew aboard the tugboat Arctic Warrior is the best in the business. Under the leadership of their Captain, Sean Murphy, and with the expertise of salvage team leader Maureen Epps, they can locate any abandoned vessel, patch it up until its seaworthy, and drag it back to shore for a price. Ghost Ship is a great movie, it has a great beginning where the incident takes place at the beginning rather than waits 45 min. The ending was great and I like how she sees the killer walking up the boarding deck with another crew to take out to sea. The music is really good, and so are the creepy sound effects. Its not the kind of horror film that will keep you staying awake for a week, but it will make you think twice about boarding an abandoned ship.
Tantalizing treat... December 9, 2009
Mad Collector (Las Vegas, NV)
This horror film is nothing more than a music video for those with short attention spans. Yet the story is captivating enough and the ship is most unsettling. Give it a go if you want a popcorn flick to stir your senses. The montage (complete with hard rock score) where the ghost girl shows Julianna Margulies how the ship became rife with spirits is worth the purchase price alone.
A Favorite Guilty Pleasure October 13, 2009

Finally on blu ray, this movie looks better than ever. Scary, not really; a few jumps here and there, but this movie is more like a 'Shining' on the water; lots of cool visuals and a very nice surprise at the end. No Oscars, but the acting is solid, the twists are interesting, and it's over in 90 minutes. A great opening sequence sets the tone, and this movie just chugs right along from there. Sequel?
Could have done without the toast to 'the sea', however.
Definitely worth a rental May 6, 2009
The Tao of Netflix (Washington, DC)
This is an entertaining movie, particularly if you're a fan of horror movies including water/boats as a thematic element. In a very broadstroke overview, a team of boat salvagers are led to salvage an otherwise illusively unmanned cruise ship...which happens to be haunted. The acting is generally pretty good, the story is acceptable, and the production values are good. In fact, the video quality is particularly good. As usual, the ending starts to meander toward absurdity, but the rest is entertaining.
