Review – Ghost Ship (2002)

Dark Castle strikes again, this time so far out at sea that the corpse at least stands a decent chance of sinking peacefully beneath the waves never to be seen again. We should be so lucky. The productions are getting more and more sophisticated, but the scripts and acting are headed in the other direction. There’s a not-half-bad story about a haunted derelict ship in here somewhere, but it’s buried plenty deep under several gore-intensive but otherwise useless subplots. As a juvenile spook story this works just fine, so it’s too bad there’s too much nudity and violence in here for the wee tykes who might actually be amused by this cliché parade. Now if they could just get rid of the wretched soundtrack music. Mildly amusing
