The forgotten supernatural horror movie has one of the best opening scenes from all time

This post contains spoilers For “ghostly ship”.

In 2002, the “Ship -Private” Steve Beck sailed at the theater and became a decent commercial success, scoring $ 68.3 million in the world box office against a $ 20 million budget. It was also not a critical favorite, because the film seemed more busy scary special effects (which look dated now) than telling a concerted story that leaves a strong impression. However, while the “Ghost Ship” is not the movie horror that you are looking for his riveting, It creates a perfectly enjoyable chips This does not adhere to logic and practicality. It is also derivative as the hell, for the most part, although the “ship -ghost” does not seem like that. The movie is restlessly covered by the B-film roots, rich, and plays as Typical horror movie 2000 years.

Sometimes, however, even a thoroughly mediocre horror flick, like a “ghostly ship”, can have a cold open, which is completely impossible to forget. Instead of leaning on the shock value of all this, the painful sequence of the film gradually caused an alarm to the unexpectedly rigid conclusion.

“Ghost Ship” opens a party aboard the Italian ocean liner Ms Antonia, where hundreds of passengers see dances and have a fun time. At first, there is a fun mood on the stage, and the beautiful singer performs “Senza Fine”, and a little girl named Katie (Emily Browning) looks sad. Then the friendly gentleman invites Katy to dance, trying to include it in the party’s communal spirit and she accepts. Of course, this cute, serene moment will end in the tragedy, right?

Next, there will be a bloody bath, although the numb horror and cruelty of this scene really come from how the tension is slowly built before everything goes south the most horrific, unpredictable way. Take one mysterious hand on the lever, cut off wire and a boat stuffed with unimportant guests, and you have all the ingredients you need for a terrible disaster recipe. Given the said, let’s talk about the gloomy, horrible opening of the “ghostly ship” and how the rest of the movie is desperate (and does not cope) to live.

Since the party on board Antonia Merza continues, a number of terrible events are rapidly. The mysterious man pushes the lever, causing the string of engines and hands on the drum and stuttering on the ship. Ultimately, especially a tight wire goes through a cheerful crowd, waving the other side when the blood and sweats are dripping. For a moment, everything is still the way guests look with horror as if in disbelief, while deviating. This is when Beck causes extensions and tensions to pay off when the camera moves above the different guests, showing that their bodies were neatly sliced ​​at different points.

The wire cut all (from metal to bone), causing the bodies to be divided, falling and panic. Katie is the only one that is released from this fate, because she was a baby and was too short to impress the wire. The lord who danced with her also falls to the floor, causing Katie to shout with horror. The bodies around her blood and the intestine, some are still twitching in an attempt to get to their broken half. The combination of the rich mountains and the gaze of the child, which testifies to something so deeply traumatic, feels a blow in the intestine, creating the perfect atmosphere for a promising horror phil. Unfortunately, in the rest of the movie, the couple ended fairly quickly.

If another crew decides to sit in Graza and decide its secret what happened through the years, everything that follows is too perverted for its good. A ghost child (!) Trick of passengers will accelerate their death, the lifeline is mysteriously exploding, and the ominous demonic spirit seems to be responsible for this absurd porridge. It is difficult to perceive most of the compi -meladrama in the “ghostly ship” too seriously, but there is a sequence in which the aforementioned child -the ghost shows the crew of the crew Morin (Julianna Margulies) that actually It happened on the Graz that fateful night. This is an intriguing scene that reminds us of a brilliant discovery. The following retrospect also reveals the previous details of blood massacre, and all, while in the background of John Frisel’s “My Little Box”.

I deliberately hold the key details of the plot, because “the ghost of the ship” should be viewed at least once, even if it’s all down after its extremely opening scene. If you want to experience B-Film in Slasher style It’s funny, but realizing itself, then “ghost ship” can just be the perfect one-time clock for you.
