Average Rating: 3.10 out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Kinda dull but has a few sparks
I was eagerly awaiting the theatrical release of this movie, just because I had enjoyed Dark Castles's earlier two movies, House On Haunted Hill & 13 Ghosts. So I was pretty disapointed with this third one. But first with the good stuff.
1)I have never liked nor disliked Julianna Margulies, and not being an E.R. fan wasn't drawn to this movie because of her. But it turns out she is the shining light in this pretty drab voyage. She brings a nice piece of humanity to the rather dull role of Maureen and makes the whole thing watchable.
2) The production values. Some nice effects are on offer as usual with this production company and the digital effects aren't over the top or especially obvious. Nothing ever looks studio bound and the rust and ageing procedure to the ship is handled well. Also of note is the reversal of the ballroom from rust trap to it's former slender - also very well handled.
3) The opening massacre - pretty much the only real gore in the movie and pretty cool! A bit CGI-ish though in places, but a nicely directed set piece. Shame there isn't more like it. I also liked the "romantic" credits - throws you off nicely and it's different.
4) Little Ghost Girl Katie's trip back to explain what happened. Fast paced, energetic and quite harrowing in places.
5) The ending, Katie helping Maureen find her way. Again quite touching and nicely shot. Hints of James Cameron here. Made me think that with a slightly different play on the script this could of been a lot better and could of given the director a few more choices as it's obvious he has talent.
6) No bad acting!
And now for the bad stuff:
1) It's about as scary as Mary Poppins cuddling some kitties. And it's not even especially creepy or tense - at all.
2) You don't care about any of the characters other than Maureen & Katie. I know this is pretty common for this genre but it can be done and it wonders why such talent as Gabriel Byrne, Ron Eldard and Isaiah Washington sighned up to play such lame roles. A lot of talent was wasted here.
3) Kinda dull and unoriginal in general, for this type of movie.
Overall I will say I enjoyed it but i really was expecting more, which of course doesn't help. I had hoped it would of been darker and with a few more gore effects. Kinda reminded me of the 'Rose Red' mini series which was all sleek and no substance like this. But you know, after all my ramblings just see it for yourself as you may love it, we all like different things for different reasons.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Ghost Ship is Surprisingly Good.
I decided to ignore most reviews of this film and check it out anyway. I am very glad I did. I don't understand why people think its so bad. Ghost Ship is about a crew who aboard an abandoned ship that went missing in 1962, and was never heard of again. The crew finds it and strange things begin to happen. They start seeing Ghosts, hence the title. The ghosts are the passengers who were brutally killed on the ship, obviously.
The film has a few scary moments and it moves along quickly. There is a major plot twist at the end that I did not see coming at all and I thought it was brilliant. You can't comment on the acting of a horror movie, it's pointless, but luckily Ghost Ship has a cast of well known, and talented actors such as Gabriel Byrne, Julianne Marguiles, and Ron Eldard. If not for them, the film could have been a lot more cheesy, but I thought the film was intriguing, scary, and creepy. The opening scene by far one of the most gruesome scenes in film is worth seeing this film for.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Ignore the bad reviews....
Its about Ghosts, and it is gory, what more do you need? My only complaint, and the reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5, is it tends to be slow in spots, but the movie is far from boring and will hold your attention through till the end
