Favorite part was when multiple members of the crew were having conversations with ghosts that were explaining back story while two of the guys were being pranked by the ghosts into eating maggots.

Tons of people get cut in half in the beginning and there is a hot chick who gets topless. Aside from that it's awful.

Despite being intermittently creepy, Ghost Ship falls flat thanks to its characters and plot. You don't need a lot to make a successful horror film. All it needs is to be scary, but if it isn't, audiences start looking at other things. The foundations, in this case, are weak at best, and completely broken at worst. The film just doesn't hold up, even if the set design and location are top-notch.

The first third is boring, mindless slasher movie setup, the middle third is brilliant mindfuckery, and the last third is boring slasher conclusion. Accordingly, it gets the same score as percent of the movie it got right.

It's hard not to notice both the strength and the weakness of Ghost Ship. In that it happens during the first scene. The movie peaks as high as it ever will. Which means it contains a pretty tremendous scene. But then is let down by the rest being a fairly standard horror flick. Although the ending twist was intriguing if nothing else.

What a stupid movie. It's one of those -constantly taking unexpected twists, so you can't trust anybody- kind of flicks. The opening scene is the only part worth watching, and even that is a little too much. Total crap!

There are some brutal and somewhat creative deaths for masochists (particularly the cable scene), but anyone looking for an interesting story or unique conclusion need not apply. There's nothing that appeals to any sense other than primal fear and sexual perversion, no real moments of psychological suspense; just recycled 'shock scenes' set to industrial rock music meant to make you jump out of your seat. I'm not a fan of horror/slasher films, so you can take my review with a grain of salt.

Another addition to the mindless horror flick category, it intersperces sections of decentness with a majority of flawed and failing set pieces and a strange half baked plotline. Throw in the derivitive fallback on the odd cheap jump scares, along with a can full of maggots, and it becomes pretty clear Ghost Ship is headed for shallow waters. Apart from the opening set pieces are also predictable, preventing the film from providing any of the classic adventure film suspense it desires so much.

Word of advice: If you walk out right when you see someone floating in the ocean with a suitcase, what you will have on your hands is a perfectly respectable horror offering worth seeing for the Halloween season once "The Ring" has already been viewed. Sit through the last minute, and leave with a bitter taste in your mouth. This movie is so solidly made for so long that the viewer must question how anyone could have thought the chosen conclusion was a good idea.

Great opening scene, and the first half's actually not that bad. But once the hauntings begin, it relies too much on set pieces. Some of the characterizations change drastically for no apparent reason, and parts of the plot feel like they were just thrown in on the fly. The idea is cool, but they were trying too hard to go for the scare and somehow lost the movie in the mix.

Being a fan of horror, this gets high in the 60's. Otherwise it wud be low in the 60's, not particularly a good movie but not a bad one either. Nearly everything in this movie is standard, tho the first act is drawn out a bit too much, resulting in bad pacing. For the fans.

Not scary at all but I don't really care about that anyway as I'm not a fan of horror films. I thought the setting was pretty nice but that is probably the best thing about this film. The plot and characters could have used a lot more work. I felt like the ending was very abrupt and the actual ending was very dissatisying. Not recommended.

One of the very first films I rented, but, being aged ~11, my buddy down the street and I were too chicken-shit to watch it after we saw The Ring, so he left and, bored, I watched it on my own at night anyway. It was surprising to me then that it wasn't that scary after all, at least compared to The Ring, which was fucking terrifying. All this is to say that if a horror can't scare an 11yo, then it probably isn't a good horror film.

That opening scene was the perfect brand of stupid to get me very excited. What follows is several different boring horror tropes smashed together with a confused and overlong plot. Karl Urban must have made this between Lord of the Rings movies because even he is checked out.
