This post contains spoilers for the "ghost ship".

In 2002, Steve Beck's "Ghost Beck" sailed in cinemas and became a decent commercial success, earning $ 68.3 million on the global treasurer against a $ 20 million budget. Nothing was a critical darling, as the film seemed more preoccupied with frightening special effects (which look dated now) than to tell a coherent story that leaves a strong impression. However, while the "ghost ship" is not a kind of horror film you see for its entangled plot, It makes it perfectly pleasant It does not adhere to logic or convenience. It is also a derivative as a hook for the most part, although the "ghost ship" does not pretend to be something that is not. The film inadvertently accepts its roots and plays as they are on ghosts A typical horror movie of the 2000sReplacement of competent storytelling stories of ultra-styled Gore.

However, sometimes, even a thorough average horror as a "spiritual ship" can have a cold outdoor that is quite impossible to forget. Instead of relying on the shock -the value of it, the disturbing sequence of the film gradually builds anxiety on the way to an unexpectedly violent conclusion.

"The Ghost Ship" opens with a party of the Italian ocean liner Mrs Antonia Mounting, where hundreds of passengers are seen dancing and having a cheerful time. The stage initially has a joyful mood, with a beautiful singer performing "Sensa Fine" while a little girl named Katie (Emily Browning) looks boring. A lyukerous older gentleman then invites Katie to dance in an attempt to include her in the communal spirit of the party and she accepts. Surely, this sweet, tranquil moment will not end in a tragedy, right?

What happens next is bloodshed, though the stiff horror and brutality on this scene really come from the way the tension is slowly built before things go south in the worst, unpredictable way possible. Take a mysterious hand on the handle, a wire and a boat packed with unconscious guests, and you have all the ingredients you need for a frightening disaster recipe. Thus, let's talk about the dark, awkward opening of "Ghost Brod" and how the rest of the film is desperately trying (and fails) to live by that.

As the party of Antonia Mades is, a series of terrible events occurs quickly. The mysterious person is pushing a lever, causing a series of engines and miracles to spin and stutter on the ship. After all, especially the tight wire enters the cheerful crowd, turning to the other side by bathing blood and visca. For a moment, everything is still as guests see in horror, as if in disbelief while suspended on time. This is when the back makes construction and uncertainty, as the camera moves through different guests, revealing that their bodies are cut neatly at half different points.

The wiretade cut through everything (from metal to bone), causing bodies to stand out, fall and write in panic. Katie is the only one free from this fate because she is a child and was too short to be hit by the wire. The gentleman who danced with her also falls to the floor, causing Katie to scream in terror. The bodies around her blood and intestines, with some still shaking in an attempt to reach their bisen half. The combination of abundantly fuss and the look of a child who witnesses something so deeply traumatic feels like a blow in the intestines, creating the perfect atmosphere for promising horror. Unfortunately, the rest of the film runs out of steam quite quickly.

When another team decides to climb the border and solve its mystery about what happened years later, everything that follows is too crushed for its good. The child with spirits (!) Deceives passengers to accelerate their collapse, the rescue ship mysteriously exploded, and the evil demonic spirit seems to be responsible for this absurd chaos. It is difficult to take most of the melodrama camp in the "ghost ship" too seriously, but there is a series in which the aforementioned ghosts shows a member of the crew of the crew of Morin (Juluiana Marguli) which actually It happened on the grade that fateful night. It is an intriguing scene that reminds us of the brilliant opening. Subsequent retrospective also reveals previously insincere details of the blood massacre, as long as "my little box" on Fron Hairdresser is fueled in the background.

I deliberately keep the details of the key plot because the "ghost ship" is worth watching at least once, even if it's all down to its extremely sumptuous scene. If you want to experience B-movie in the slasher-style It's funny, but still self -conscious, then the "ghost ship" can be the perfect one -time watch for you.
