A salvage team think they've made the find of a lifetime, until they discover there's more on board than meets the eye in this supernatural thriller. Led by Captain Sean Murphy (Gabriel Byrne), the crew of the tugboat Arctic Warrior have discovered a sideline far more lucrative than hauling ships in and out of the harbor -- they locate missing or wrecked ships in international waters, repair them until they can be brought back to port, and then sell off the ship and its contents as salvage. Acting on a tip from Jack Ferriman (Desmond Harrington), a pilot in the Canadian Air Force, Murphy and his crew -- salvage expert Maureen Epps (Julianna Margulies), first mate Greer (Isaiah Washington), and crewmen Santos (Alex Dimitriades), Dodge (Ron Eldard), and Munder (Karl Urban) -- set out to find a large craft seen adrift off the Alaskan coastline. To their surprise, the crew of the Arctic Warrior discover what appears to be the Antonia Graza, a famous Italian ocean liner, legendary for its luxury, which vanished without a trace in 1962. While they at first anticipate the payday of a lifetime from this find, the crew soon discover a sinister force has taken control of the ship, and before long they're battling not for salvage rights, but for their lives. Ghost Ship was directed by special effects man turned filmmaker Steven Beck, who previously directed the 2001 remake of 13 Ghosts. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This was a real surprise - VERY enjoyable and quite scary in a good ol' fashioned fun way. DON'T miss the first 5 minutes which not only is vital to the rest of the movie - but offers quite a chilling scare right out of the gate. Both the acting by the cast and the story itself were really good - and it's just one of those movies that every once in awhile you plop into your DVD player thinking its going to be a ho-hum movie to pass your time and ends up grabbing your attention and holding it rather quickly - and you'll not be disappointed.

    This movie features an interesting plot, a good cast, and enough suspense to keep you intrigued. Not the scariest or goriest movie you'll ever see, but I liked its new twist about a haunted ship. Guys will want to keep an eye out for the ship's sexy Italian singer and her evil tricks. This one's definitely worth the cruise!

    The opening scene on the Ghost Ship was great, but I wish the rest of the movie was just as good. I did not care for the way Ghost Ship ended. This movie is enjoyable but not to entertaining after the opening scene, but I did like it.
