The Ghost Ship is a load of sinking - stinking - tripe

Ghost Ship

Director: Steve Beck

Cast: Gabriel Byrne, Ron Eldard, Julianna Margulies, Desmond Harrington, Isaiah Washington

Cert: 18.

A mysteriously long-lost luxury liner is discovered floating and deserted on the high seas.

Enter our brave 'explorers' bent on finding out what happened to this new Mary Celeste; and then, of course, there are all the sudden and frightening manifestations of little girls, bursts of music, mirrors reflecting past events.

I think we've been on this cruise before; and we have. There is nothing new, or even truly knuckle-chewing, about the film. It is blood-splattered to be sure but half-way through it we tend to lose interest.

One wonders why the usually excellent Byrne signed up for such a load of sinking - stinking - tripe.

Star Rating: 1/5.
