Awesome Movie
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This is by far one of my favorite movies. It's one of those movies where though out the whole movie it doesn't give the ending away. So when the ending is finally shown, it makes you shocked. That's how this movie was for me. Plus, the actors all do an amazing job though out the whole movie, in my opinion. But as much as I like this movie, I don't think they should make a part two. The ending did leave you on a little bit of a cliffhanger, but that's what made the movie so great. Defiantly worth a watch!
Ghost Ship starts out with a lot of gore and blood as in 1962 an ocean liner, the Antonio Graza, whose passengers die in what appears to be a freak accident that caused a tension wire to snap and the metal wire just carved the passengers and split them in two.In the present day Gabriel Byrne plays the captain of a salvage crew which includes Julianna Margulies. A plane pilot cuts them on the deal of salvage on the Antonio Graza that has been spotted and they decide to go for it as the rewards will be ample as the ship contains come gold shipments. The trouble is the ship is also haunted by some supernatural force and the ghost of a little girl reveals what exactly happened to the passengers and crew of the ship.The film opens interestingly and bloodily and the reveal by the little girl is also well executed. As a slasher ghost film it is better than you expect but like a lot of films where you are left in a haunted house scenario it becomes a little mundane as you know the crew will be killed off one by one as souls are salvaged.Like an episode of The Twilight Zone the film closes in a twist of a time loop. The film has some inspired set pieces but the actors do little to make it come alive.
This being the first horror movie I ever saw, I had high hopes for it. And I must say, I certainly was not disappointed. When the opening credits first rolled, I was half considering whether I was still watching a horror movie or if I had accidentally bought the wrong DVD. The credits are very deceiving, I almost believed I was watching a romcom and not a horror movie as the DVD case portrayed it to be. However, after the opening scene which I'm sure others who have watched the movie will agree with me on, I was certain that the DVD definitely contained the gruesome horror I was looking for. This movie is quite frankly, a cinematic masterpiece. The effects and story are incredible and pull you in almost instantly which I haven't experienced with many horror movies which are normally repetitive, cheesy, and contain cheap effects that could make you yawn. This is certainly a stand alone horror, not many movies could be compared to this. If you are looking for a simple horror movie with a boring plot, this movie certainly is not for you. I really enjoyed each of the characters, particularly Katie. I enjoyed how she was portrayed as a guardian angel sort of character who helped Epps discover the truth about what really happened aboard the Antonia Graza. Even Epps herself was an enjoyable character, Julianna Margulilies did a very good job at playing her character. I couldn't have picked a better actress to play her character. This movie has twists, turns, and jumpscares at every angle designed to surprise you and simultaneously scare the crap out of you whether or not you were expecting it. Even the menu for the DVD makes me jump. The cut-scenes have been edited superbly, it is clear the editor and director both spent plenty of time and money making this movie absolutely perfect which has clearly paid off. As for the ending of the movie, I must say I was not expecting it. The twist was unbelievable. I'm sure many horror fanatics may have guessed straight off who the true villain was, however I did not and I got a shock at the end. Shocks aside, this is the only horror movie I have ever seen that has not only gripped me with suspense but also gripped me with emotion. Parts of the movie were incredibly emotional and I felt myself tearing up, as some scenes were incredibly intense and surprising. The ending in particular made me very weepy and still continues to every time I have watched it since. Mr Frizzier has succeeded in captivating me and I'm sure many others with his beautiful music compositions during these scenes and others of which were accompanied by fitting music for a more modern taste. Overall, I'd give this movie a 10/10 every time I watch it. I would highly recommend the movie to anybody who is interested in an original ghost movie with a more interesting tale.
It's a pretty unadventurous title that matches the content of the film. Directed by Steve Beck and starring Gabriel Byrne, Desmond Harrington, Ron Eldard and Julianna Margulies, plot finds a salvage crew discovering a long lost passenger liner out in the remote Bering Sea. With the laws of the sea stating that they can keep what they find, they are delighted to find gold on board. But it's not long before strange things start to happen.It starts of real well with a bloody and gruesome prelude, the production design is super and everything is in place for a chiller out there in the foggy waters. Unfortunately what we actually get is a predictable series of clichés cribbed from better movies of the past, none of which capable of eliciting a genuine scare. The makers think that having a bombastic techno score accompanying the dramatic moments will make them appear more shocking. It doesn't, while the cast are ill served by direction and writing.Horror 101 for beginners. 3/10
