Don't bother boarding "Ghost Ship." The film tries to be an eerie scare but its abundance of gore
and curiously, lack of suspense, won't appeal to fans of either the horror or thriller genres.
A salvage boat finds an ocean liner lost for over forty years. When the crew boards this lost vessel, weird things begin
to happen which culminate in many deaths as the mystery of this "ghost ship" is discovered.
For such a mediocre film, the extras are surprisingly ok. One extra is "A Closer Look at the Gore" -- an interesting
look at well, the gore in the film (the film begins with a group of people dying in a gross, gory manner and it's
interesting that the film crew was told "no decapitations," but supposedly bodies sliced in half was allowed).
Other extras include a documentary (a standard making-of featurette with interviews with cast and crew), an interesting
"Unlock the Secrets" section where you must figure out how to get to the secrets via your remote and then are rewarded
with behind-the-scenes footage and fuller explanations of the mystery within the film, and two more featurettes: on
visual effects and the design of the Ghost Ship itself. |
