OK, ghost story. Not great movie, but it's enough solid that could have been great if it has a good script and I think this film looks like a bit of a B movie. The story and twist are good enough. I loved the opening scene, it was unexpectedly good. That scene was the only good thing about it and it's almost like they used their entire budget in that scene. The acting is OK and I didn't care for any characters except Emily Browning's ghost character which she was really likable. But overall, it was just an okay film with good story. I'd give it a 6.5/10.

I'm not fan of ghost stories, but what sounds more mysterious and pulsating than empty cruise ship floating around the sea?! But first impression actually deceives. It's a shame.I really like mysterious and scifi things. This has very attractive plot, but ghosts... Nah. Yes, I actually didn't even expected much, since this IS ghost movie. It's said on title.I have actually watched very similar movie, where some crew also founds empty cruising ship and start exploring it. I don't remember that movie's name. And I don't spoil that other movie too much, but I say that it's not a ghost movie. It has it's own things. It's way much better that way. This wasn't that good.

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

This ghost movie begins with the brutal and sudden death for passengers of an ocean-liner, a gripping scene that starts the movie off with much intrigue. It then leads to the present day where a salvage crew discovers the long-lost ship in a remote region of the Bering Sea. As they begin to tow it back to land, paranormal events soon happen to them.The story's plot has some creepy and hair-raising moments you've come to expect from ghost/horror movies, and the story takes a turn when the apparition of the young girl reveals herself to the salvage crew and foretells the dark and brutal history of the passengers and crew of the ship. It then all leads to a race for survival for the salvage crew.I thought, though, that the movie's latter half is just a lot of running around and people trying to survive ***spoiler ahead*** the main, evil ghost named Ferriman (Desmond Harrington), who uses gold on the ship as bait to get the crew and passengers, from the beginning of the movie, to turn on each other, resulting in their untimely deaths. This deviates from any surprises or plots twists in the film, all leading to a pretty predictable outcome. However, I thought the ending scene was confusing and leaves a cliffhanger.Overall, it's an action-packed movie with OK acting, but with limited suspense towards the latter half of the movie.Grade C
