Top CriticWhere are all the icebergs when you need one?

Top CriticA lame script, featuring sorry dialogue and a senseless story, is more likely to provoke laughs than screams from its intended audience.

Top CriticGhost Ship is the sort of flimflam that would have filled eight paneled pages in the great horror comic book Tales From the Crypt or consumed about 30 minutes on the latter-day HBO spinoff.
