Title: Event Horizon on a cruise ship
Review: Aside from the gruesome, gory opening sequence there's really not much to recommend about Ghost Ship. It's basically a rehash of Event Horizon (1997), a much superior horror movie. Event Horizon itself had traces of Alien (1979) and The Shining (1980), but still managed to be an effective, freaky thriller. Ghost Ship offers nothing new, features cardboard characters, predictable situations and annoying music video-type style. This is typical of most horror movies today, though.This could have been a good movie if better work had been done on the script and the director were more intent on making a movie than a music video. Even the plot is derivative of Event Hoziron. I would recommend renting that instead of Ghost Ship. It's a much more effective, scary horror movie. This movie is just a quick fix for the short-attention-span-teen crowd.
