Ghost Ship

Pros: Acting, the opening scene
Cons: slooow

Ghost Ship has gotten panned rather thoroughly. I liked it a bit better than my illustrious cronies, but not much. It started off rather strong, but lost a bit in the pacing I think. What you have here is a cruise ship full of folks having a ...

Pros: Good interior set
Cons: No frights. At all.

Here’s a test for you. Run in front of a speeding car. Go on, do it. Hurts doesn’t it? So much so that chances are you’ll never do it again, nor will you look be any worse off should you never do so again. But imagine if, say, you were ...

Pros: Great opening. Good back plot. Good performance by Emily Browning.
Cons: Predictable, formulaic main plot. Bad dialogue. Poor performances by supporting cast.

Great opening scene sets the tone and pulls you through an otherwise mundane horror movie. Poor script and lackluster supporting cast almost spoil it. ...

Pros: Great art direction and visual design. Interesting cast.
Cons: Bad script and storytelling. Idiotic characters.

Mr. Stryker, my international film celebrity of mystery, and I met for dinner last night in a lovely little West Hollywood bistro, the Blue Palm. We had several cocktails, posed for photographs and a brief interview with that seriously horse faced young...

Pros: Ship has a nice texture to it.
Cons: Takes on water.

Ghost Ship joins yet another elite crowd of horror movies that makes no sense whatsoever – and perhaps is not meant to make sense – and yet is as such meant to scare us – which this movie fails to do. Back in the 80’s the big...

Pros: some suspenseful moments and mystery, great cruise ship backdrop, good ending
Cons: mixed music styles in film score, some special effects could be better, pacing, disappointing features

Ghost Ship is a film I own on DVD and enjoy watching. Since I like ghost movies and hauntings, I'll watch this movie with several other spooky films, one right after the other. Basic Movie Plot Salvage experts are invited to ...

Pros: Decent Acting, Nice effects.
Cons: a bit drawn out, not scary enough.

Let me start off by saying that I bought this movie hoping for a real thriller, extremely scary. I was not totally disappointed in it, but yet not on the edge of my seat scared either.I bought this on DVD widescreen (as widescreen is all that they had ...

Pros: Very creepy.. will have you on the edge of your seat!
Cons: May be too gory for some viewers

I'm addicted to horror movies. I'd have to say it's my favorite genre.. I even enjoy the stupid ones. (Bride of Chucky is actually on my video rack, enough said?) So I'll watch anything once.
I hadn't heard anything about Ghost Ship, but...

Pros: photography, graphic opening scene
Cons: not scary, cliche packed, acting

Where to begin on my long list of criticisms of Ghost Ship? First, I'll get the basic storyline out of the way before I go to town on what is awful about this movie. Roughly 40 years ago, the Antonia Graza, an Italian luxury liner, was coasting to...

Pros: Good special effects, cool set designs, Gabriel Byrne.
Cons: Kind of slow-paced, tedious at times, overall average.

Horror movies about Ghosts and hauntings are fairly common films in the genre. Some people believe in Ghosts and others don't. Many are terrified by the specteral figures, and for good reasons: Ghosts are the spirits of people who have died, people who ...

Pros: Great opening.
Cons: Cliches, bad alternative music, and boring stock characters.

“Ghost Ship”
(*1/2)
By Collin Souter

Last week, a horror movie called “The Ring” came out in which an old Oliver Stone student film had the power to kill anybody who watched it, a...

Pros: Makes me think deep and hard to bring up something positive. Good brain exercise
Cons: even a latter day Bartleby like Dilbert would have trouble categorizing the myriad cons.

Private's Journal, 11:44 p.m. Ghost Ship gets a fine send off in a well-staged, but a bit bloody opening scene. 'Skay, I like blood. I like Captain Gabriel Byrne, particularly his turn as Dean Keaton in The Usual Suspects. He seems to be back to...

Pros: Emily Browning, Katie, Set, Beginning, Ghost, Gore, Ship
Cons: Characters, Plot

The “Ghost Ship‘s” cover has skull that alters its image, it is right on the ship's bow, so it looks like a blurry image that is entirely in blue color with dark shadows. At first I assume the ship is about ghost, it seems like it has a lot of them on ...

Pros: Extreme gore, excellent production values, some chilling moments
Cons: Predictable

Introduction
Fast on the coattails of such exercises in asinine mediocrity as House on Haunted Hill (1999) and Thirteen Ghosts (2001), Dark Castle Entertainment a US based production company finally delivers a somewhat enjoyable piece of...

Pros: Very memorable opening sequence.
Cons: Lackluster story, average to poor acting, riddled with cliches

While this movie had a lot of promise based on the initial trailers, this movie like a myriad of others, falls flat.
