Movie Reviews of Ghost Ship (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Well-acted Horror Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
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 been pasted together to make the final image I was watching - seamless. Writing wise, they sort of rushed past some of the explanations as to what the various ghosts were trying to get the living people to do. Still, I love haunting movies and especially ones that occur at sea. This one captured that creepy, desperate, isolated-at-sea vibe and never let it slip.

Theatrical Trailer
While it offers nothing new for horror buffs, Ghost Ship relocates its haunted house clich?s 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
