Reader comments: Ghost Ship

MATT MOVIES | Sept. 30, 2003
I liked the look of Ghost ship, very polished & i particularly liked the ripple reflection effect throughout the movie. The gruesome scene at the start was too excessive & more disgusting than scary. The scares in the movie thereafter are not very scary at all & the use of dead 'rubber' bodies, heads floating around in the water in various 'shock' scenes remind me of Jaws movies. Another problem is the music in the movie, it does little to add to the suspense, for example in the opening there's this 'love boat' type theme which sounds so stupid, then there's some punk rock 3/4 through which sounded like it came straight from the fast & the furious - in this type of movie, it's out of place. The characters were pretty dull too because i've seen them all b4 in countless other movies but for all it's shortcomings, i can't help but like Ghost Ship because it looks good. A bit like a Ferrari Testarossa without an engine. I only wish the italian singer in that tight red dress had more screen time cos she waz hot.
