“Ghost Ship”
Well, the third entry from Dark Castle Entertainment turns out to be just as bland as the first two (the remakes of “House on Haunted Hill” and “Thirteen Ghosts“). If you have a chance to watch the opening credits to the movie (like on HBO or something) you really should. The first five minutes of the movie are the best. Shocking, gore filled and quite fun … but after that the movie degenerates into a muddled mess with characters and situations that go nowhere fast. It seems a consistently coherent plot is a little too much to ask for in a horror film these days. Maybe screenwriters are counting on the audience to all be short attention span television junkies. Guess what? Some of us actually pay attention and get really irritated when 1) Characters constantly flip-flop on getting away from the evil ship or staying to save it 2) Plot twists that make NO SENSE are thrown in 3) You have a lot of bad CGI that supposed to scary but just looks dumb. If you want some real fun with evil on the high seas, go out and rent “Death Ship” instead.
