A
salvage crew of people in a tugboat bumps
into an old long lost abandoned cruise
ship where people were accidentally
killed in 1962.
They try to tow it back to land and while
they do so strange events starts to
occur.
One of the crew people named Maureen Epps
(Julianna Marguilles) is mysteriously
seeing this little girl who was once
aboard the ship in various places.
Plus there are some dead bodies spotted
as well as blood dripping out of leaky
holes.
The crew also finds gold in the ship and
thought they hit luck. But suddenly their
tugboat explodes and they are trapped on
the ship but then they try to get it
running.
But everyone realises that although the
people on board of the ship back in 1962
were dead but their souls still remained
there and the ghosts of those people are
leading them to their deaths.
A ghost of the little girl Maureen
encountered named Katie Harwood (Emily
Browning) tries to warn her about the
ship and also takes her back in time when
the deaths have happened as it was taken
over by a group of evil demonic mobsters
killing everyone on board.
Katie has no choice but to destroy the
ship before her life is taken as well.
Although this
remake of the 1952 cult classic looks
interesting at first with interesting
scenery with neat effects it is a real
drag.
It's very dull with no interesting
storyline, just people researching a
haunted ship without a solid plot.
Otherwise this film is pointless.
The acting is
nothing special with this one yet it
isn't terrible either.
Emily Browning seemed convincing
as the spirit of the young girl named Katie
Harwood as she delivered her
character well enough.
Francesca Renttondini
exposes her breasts when she is a ghost
trying to lead one of the crew people to
his death.
In the beginning
of the film people are sliced and diced
by a wire in an outdoor ballroom of the
ship.
There are rotted corpses washed up in the
ship.
A guy is impaled as well as Francessa is
hung on a hook attached to her chin.
Lots of blood too.
Steve Beck
delivered some jumps here and there but
he could've made this clunker alot better
than what it was.
However he does show a good impressive
prologue with the people partying and
ballroom dancing on the ship with Francesca
Renttondini being involved
with all of this and then great shots on
the deadly accident caused by a wire
cutting people from the ballroom of the
ship.
John Frizzel seems
to compose his music alot better than
with the storyline and shows his talents
on a good basis.
We have sountracks by
hardcore groups like Monica Mancini,
Edwin and the Pressure, Mudvayne, Natalia
Oeiro and John Frizzel.
Jack
Ferriman: Last month I was out in the
middle of the Strait when I came across
this.
Epps: Congratulations. You found a
boat. In the middle of the ocean, of all
places.
Munder:
I just think I shit my pants.
Dodge: No, you always smell that
way.
[first
lines]
Greer: I can't hold her much
longer, Murph. Port bow is heeling. She's
taking on way too much water.
Dodge:
You smell that? I smell bullshit!
Epps:
Not the same as flying weather planes
over ice sheets is it? What's the appeal?
Epps:
You mean, what's a nice girl like me
doing in a dump like this, instead of
raising a family? Simple. I own a third
of Murphy's operation, I'm not that nice,
and these monkeys... are my family.
Munder:
Who the fuck you kidding Greer. Everybody
knows you Navy boys take it up the ass.
Epps:
After you.
Murphy: No, after you.
Munder: No, no, no, no, no. After
me.
Jack
Ferriman: You okay? You seem quiet
since you came back.
Epps: I think I saw something I
couldn't possibly have seen.
Jack Ferriman: Like what?
Epps: No, it's crazy. It doesn't
matter.
Jack Ferriman: No, I'm curious,
tell me.
Epps: I think I saw a little girl.
Jack Ferriman: On, on the, the
boat?
Epps:
Have you told anyone else about this?
Jack Ferriman: Not a living soul.
Murphy:
I do know one thing. I've seen strange
things happen in the strait. But I know
something else. Sea gives you an
opportunity you take it.
Murphy:
These Italian liners, ya know, they
couldn't compete for speed, so they built
these floating art palaces instead.
Jack
Ferriman: Looks like someone used it
for target practice.
Epps: That's the happy version.
Jack Ferriman: What's the
not-so-happy version?
Epps: There were people in there.
Epps:
Wanna hear something funnier? We just
found a bunch of dead guys floating in
the laundry room.
Greer:
Earlier, when I was doing my recon, I
could swear I heard a women's voice
singing to me. It was like she was, like
she was coming on to me or something.
Munder: Oh, no.
Greer: It was the sexiest voice I
ever heard, man.
Santos: She got any backup
singers?
Munder: Brother, whatever you're
on, get me some!
Dodge: I think maybe you're not
quite ready to get married, Greer.
Munder:
Where's your empathy?
Dodge: Winners do not empathize
with losers.
Dodge:
Can I tell you something else? When we
get back I'm gonna take my money and I'm
gonna buy you a bathtub.
Greer:
Francesca, I know all of this isn't real.
So I'm just gonna go with it, okay? Can't
cheat on your fiancée with a dead girl,
right?
Epps:
Oh, God, you really are a fucking ghost.
Katie:
We're all trapped here.
Epps: Who?
Katie: My shipmates and I.
Katie:
You must go at once. Leave the ship while
you still can!
Santos:
Because of the plan, I'm trapped on this
dreamboat of yours. So, you know what?
You're coming along for the ride!
Jack
Ferriman: Well, you live for her. You
willing to die for her?
Epps:
I saw that little girl again.
Jack Ferriman: What? Where?
Epps: I must be losing my goddamn
mind!
Dodge:
I shot Ferriman, he's dead.
Epps: Yeah, don't be so sure
Dodge!
Munder:
What's with the heart?
Epps: Found it. Belonged to this
little girl.
Dodge: What girl?
Epps: She told me to get off this
boat.
Jack Ferriman: You mean she's
talking to you now?
Munder: What the hell are you guys
talking about?
Dodge:
Hey, check this out.
Munder: Hey, it's a watch.
Congratulations, buddy.
Dodge: No... look again you moron!
It's a digital watch. Do the math. They
didn't have digital watches in 1962.
Epps:
Call me if you need anything.
Dodge: How about a pizza?
Epps: [sarcastically]
You're SO funny!
Jack
Ferriman: You're pathetic.

Epps: No!
