They should have left this ship alone and saved me ninety minutes.

Reviews for Ghost Ship
A soggy, cliche-bound epic-horror yarn that ends up being even dumber than its title.
10/28/02
How this script escaped the TBS network is one of the unsolved mysteries of modern cinema.
10/28/02
Ghost Ship goes for the gore, but skimps on the scares.
10/28/02
As Bluebeard might say, Ghost Ship is Yo-Ho-Horrendous.
10/28/02
I didn't get the impression the movie was trying very hard to be frightening.
10/27/02
Meandering, sub-aquatic mess: It's so bad it's good, but only if you slide in on a freebie.
10/27/02
It's surprisingly good, spooky, fun, and stylish.
10/27/02
It's really a thinly disguised stalk 'n 'slash that will sink to video oblivion soon after Halloween.
10/27/02
After the first 10 minutes, which is worth seeing, the movie sinks into an abyss of clichés, depression and bad alternative music.
10/26/02
Vile and tacky are the two best adjectives to describe Ghost Ship.
10/26/02
Contains a spooky ambiance from start to almost-finish.
10/26/02
If there were as many scares as there were phony decapitated heads we may have had half a movie here.
10/26/02
Audiences will feel more tricked than treated after sitting through this silly gorefest that wastes the talents of several good actors.
10/26/02
Devoid of legitimate shocks and marred by a plodding, unimaginative storyline, the film barely rates as mindless escapism.
10/26/02
A ticket to tedium, a horror movie so devoid of horror that mouths will open wide in yawns, without a scream to be heard.
10/26/02
Even as lame horror flicks go, this is lame.
10/26/02
It is gory and eerie and even a bit creepy, but not scary.
10/26/02
If you're in the right B-movie frame of mind, it may just scare the pants off you.
10/26/02
This creaking vessel of a movie can't spice a routine story with genuine horror.
