Don't Pay The Ferryman!,
By
This review is from: Ghost Ship [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
A group of salvagers are given the chance to set their sights on the Antonia Graza which disappeared over forty years ago. They eventually find the ship (in a pretty spectacular way) and go aboard. The past is present and the present is disturbing (to say the least). Intercut with scenes to explain the goings-on aboard the ship before it vanished this is a strong film and rates as one of my all time favourites. Many years ago I saw a film called Deathship and after seeing Ghost Ship I set about tracing Deathship on VHS (it is unlikely to be ever on DVD) and it still had it's moments. Ghost Ship isn't perfect but it is very close from my POV. It does contain gore but I don't feel a film needs gore to be successful. Another classic for me is The Fog (1979) which has so little gore but so much atmosphere that it works. Great film!

By Inspector Gadget "Go Go Gadget Reviews" (On the trail of Doctor Claw) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Ghost Ship [Blu-ray][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
The Dark Castle production company founded by Robert Zemeckis, Gilbert Adler and Joel Silver churned out a few low-brow horrors at the beginning of the last decade before producing broader, more mainstream flicks like RockNRolla and Unknown. Among the better of these schlockfests was Ghost Ship, a maritime horror set in the bleak Bearing Straight. A salvage crew featuring the underused Gabriel Byrne (replacing Brian Cox) and the lovely Julianna Margulies set out on a mission to find a mysterious floating behemoth only to discover that it's the 40-year lost Antonia Garza, a cruise ship that vanished without a trace.Once on board the salvage crew quickly begin to realize that something sinister is going on and have doubts about the completing their mission. The rusting juggernaut holds a terrifying secret and will not let them leave under any circumstances. It's an ironic morality play with a twist, much in the style of the producers' own Tales from the Crypt TV/movie series. Dark Castle were good at making this type of film, but they've shifted focus in recent years. Despite a little too much CGI blood effects, Ghost Ship still manages to be chilling and provokes a dreadful atmosphere. But where did all the dead bodies go? If you like this film then you ought to check out the similar Death Ship and Deep Rising. Neither will surface on Blu Ray any time soon, but they're worth hunting down. The Blu Ray features a nice 1.78:1 1080p picture with Dolby TrueHD sound. A fair amount of extras are included.
