Ghost Busted



GHOST SHIP-(2002)-This overly violent horror story takes place on...you guessed it...a haunted ship! A salvage crew (led by Julianna Marguiles & Gabriel Byrne) run afoul of ghosts, death and gold. There's a lot of talk and characters screaming at one another. A little girl ghost tries to help out. Others in the cast include Isiah Washington, Ron Eldard and Karl Urban. The director Steve Beck made the equally atrocious 13 GHOSTS remake...Sometimes I think movies like this are made just to keep the various SFX departments in business.....

Thanks for reading!

This one peaked during the opening five minutes and it was all downhill from there. Many newer directors seem to think horror is basically staging fx/gore scenes in a dark and dreary environment and then doing a music video style edit because they think people will get "bored" otherwise. As if that's all there is to it. It's no wonder 9 out of 10 horror movies made today are just terrible.
