Amazon.com:
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

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Well-acted Horror Movie
Ghost Ship is a fast-paced horror/haunting type movie. I thought everything about the movie was great except that it moved a little too fast at times, and it was over before I was ready for the end. I wish it had been a little longer and that a little more time had been taken to build tension during some of the scarier passages. That said, the acting was great; the visuals were incredibly convincing, even after watching the "making of" feature I had a hard time spotting where special effects had ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mystery at Sea
This underrated film of a ship found adrift at sea is a blend of modern horror and old-fashioned storytelling. It moves the familiar haunted house story to the ocean with more emphasis on atmosphere and story than most present day horror films. Other than a somewhat gory opening scene the viewer must see as background, there is an understated old-style atmosphere and performances which works well.

The Titanic meets The Shining! That's what I was thinking halfway through this movie. Ghost Ship does have chills and gore aplenty. I was enjoying this flick quite a bit. It made me jump in a lot of places. The music, creepy lighting, and general atmosphere created an unsettled feeling.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - DVD's
effects are so totally different that I had to watch this several times to try to figure how it was done. not for the quessy or faint of heart!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - It's a sunken ship
The title caught my imagination. I watched it the theatre with high expectation. I was disappointed after 30 minutes in to the movie. There were only a couple of scary scenes. There's no suspense. It's so bad I did not care what happened for the last 45 minutes.
