disgusted but intrigued all at once. I not only wanted to know why it happened but who was behind it. In one of the next scenes, we meet "the best damn salvage crew in the business" lead by Captain Sean Murphy Gabriel Byrne . Hard workers and very determined, the rest of the crew include Maureen Epps Julianna Margulies , Dodge Ron Eldard *drools* , Munder Karl Urban , Greer Isaiah Washington , and Santos Alex Dimitriades . After cashing in on a boat they had spent 3 months trying to salvage, the crew basked in their accomplishments at a local bar. Just then, a Canadian Air Force Pilot, Jack Ferriman Desmond Harrington *DROOLS* approaches them with pictures of an ocean liner which he spotted in a flyby and convinces the crew to take a look at the ship. From the moment they set foot on the "Italian art palace" strange things happen. Munder falls through a floor, Epps sees the ghost of a little girl Emily Browning , Greer is seduced by the voice of a dead but sexy Italian woman Francesca Rettondini which leads to his untimely demise, etc. The crew soon finds the reason everyone on the ship "disappeared" when they did, millions of dollars worth of gold! After the crews' tugboat mysteriously explodes, they are left to fend for themselves on the Antonia Graza. They decide to fix the ship and bring it to shore. With a frightening twist of events the crew questions everything and everybody until the freaky end.I definitely give this movie 2 thumbs WAY up! With an all star cast, it will make you're heart pound and leave you guessing till the very end! I saw this movie many months ago and have probably seen it 5 times since then. I NEVER get tired of it. If you are looking for a good scare, I HIGHLY recommend Ghost Ship.

me though. When Epps was in the ambulance why was ferriman boarding the ship? I thought he died in the explosion before the ship sank. The ending is kind of unnecessary. Overall I recommend this movie to any Horror/Thriller fan.

There is blood, gore, much of this at the start of the movie, no sex, but a few boobs, a excellent story-line.One thing remains, what happened to all the bodies of the victims, who remove the dead from the swimming pool. Why was the body of the little girl left hanging, and not remove with the rest of the dead passengers and crew.Still watch this movie, its great.

a unique way of giving a good feeling to his movies, but in a scary way. Like Thirteen Ghosts, with all those flashes and images of ghosts. But, yes, the opening sequence was very gruesome. The acting in this film was very good, with Julianna Margulies TV's ER , Gabriel Byrne Stigmata , and Desmond Harrington who reminded me of and looks a lot like Edward Norton . Everyone there did a very well job. I think that after this, Julianna Margulies should move more into movies than television. One thing I really liked about this film was that it was very original. I mean, you don't see a haunted ocean liner movie much. It's usually the normal teen slasher movies, which some are okay, but they can get old. Mark Hanlon's story was brilliant though. Ghost Ship is probably the scariest movie of 1999-2002, besides The Ring which was also really scary. The only one thing that disappointed me a slight bit was the ending. At the ending, Jack Desmond Harrington is seen by Julianna Margulie's character when she is taken into the ambulence car. He is seen taking the gold onto another ship and then she screams and the credits roll??? I had wished the ending had just been that Maureen had gotten into the ambulence and was saved. But, they left it open for an optional sequel. I don't know if they will make one or they just wanted to let you know that evil can't die, which is portrayed in a lot of horror movies, such as in the Halloween series. All in all, I think that Ghost Ship was very well done and is extremely underrated. Any horror fan has to see this film. I give Ghost Ship a 9 out of 10.

bit where it scores highly is atmosphere, bucket loads of it, so its a little reminiscent of Event Horizon, that doesn't detract from what is a very good film.

what happened to the passengers and crew during the voyage in 1962. A horrible unraveled secret will haunt the rest of the crew. Ghost stories usually take place in a haunted house. This one is in a passenger ship. This movie is not in the same level of 'The Others', 'The Shining' or 'The Sixth Sense', but is also good film. The screenplay play has some clichés and is predictable, but the cast, direction and special effects work well. Probably, the fans of romances will not like it, but those who like a ghost story will appreciate this film. My vote is eight.Title Brazil : "Navio Fantasma" "Ghost Ship" Note: On 02 June 2017, I saw this film again.

just leave the ship once they realize something is seriously amiss. The sound acting by the tip-top cast helps a lot: Gabriel Byrne as crusty captain Murphy, Juliana Margulies as the gutsy and resourceful Epps, Ron Eldard as the rugged Dodge, Desmond Harrington as antsy greenhorn Ferriman, Isaiah Washington as the easygoing Greer, Alex Dimitriades as smartaleck Santos, Karl Urban as the scruffy Munder, and Emily Browning as helpful ghost girl Katie Howard. The luscious Francesca Rettondini slinks it up nicely as sultry singer Francesca. Kudos are also in order for the excellent art direction, Gale Tattersall's glossy cinematography, and John Frizzell's shivery score. An on the money fright film.

audience a generally creepy feeling. Wheat and chaff separate nicely and we're left with the scariest bits of horror in a paella of terror. OK I stretched that one. If you've seen enough horror to know what bits of Carnival of Souls Kubrick ripped off to make The Shining this movie won't offer anything new. But it's a fun hour and a half if you haven't.
