I'm not THAT old (almost 38) and when I was a teen, there usually was only one blockbuster movie coming out every month or two, not two a week. The rest was 'popcorn flicks' - you knew that those movies weren't superb, epic productions with a great story without plot holes, awesome sets and the best of the best cast. But they did what they advertised - entertaining, easy-to-watch distractions - they were no masterpieces and they didn't claim to be. Now, I get the impression that every action 'let's blow shit up' movie wants to also be a great comedy, every romcom wants to be a Greek drama etc, they throw in everything but the kitchen sink in hopes that something sticks with the audience. Sure, that works out very well sometimes, but overall, the viewers notice that instead of focusing on what the movie is supposed to be, it's just a mix of half-assed ideas that aren't thought through.

[@abemartinez9623]

@@ichmeiner4531 I agree with you . I’m 31 I remember those times. Every movie now a days is trying to be a mega blockbuster that tries to set up a larger universe to create spin offs. It’s also the consumers who are impossible to please. Literally think every movie sucks!

[@jamieshindler2733]

Fun Fact - Murphy's story about the Marie Celeste is actually true, Unsolved Mysteries did an entire piece on it years ago. The most common / well-known theory is that the crew were in a lifeboat, trailing the main ship due to a build up of fumes in the hull, (makes sense in context) and somehow lost the rope line that connected the two boats.

[@evil1by1]

There's problems with that theory as well. The one I think makes the most sense is that the crew who salvaged her had actually committed piracy and killed the crew to get the reward for salvaging her.

[@travisvanalst4698]

The working theory is that the captain was caught in a storm and thought the ship was taking on water. He grabbed his family and crew into the lifeboat to head to nearby land.

What about Speed 2 Cruise Control?

[@pohjanakka4992]

Try a real and still pretty recent horror story. MS Estonia. It will probably be made into a movie some day, although it's good nobody has yet, it has been 27 years but there are of course still enough people who lost family and friends when it sank. I still travel by ship, or the big ferries of the Baltic - they pretty much function as cruise ships in addition to being ferries, a lot of the profit for them is from people who go on these day-long mini cruises, but they are also the cheapest way to cross the sea if you want to visit some of the neighboring countries - but after Estonia sank I have never booked a cabin below the decks. I would not be able to sleep in one. If possible I get one on the same deck where the lifeboats are, and as close to a door to the deck as possible. Of course, if it was filmed as it happened, or the way the movies about Titanic have been, it would be a catastrophe movie, not a horror movie. But if you made a fictionalized version with ghosts, demons, and things happening below the decks and out of sight of most of the passengers... ending with people getting trapped in their cabins and the crowded corridors while most of the ones who at least got off the ship die in the freezing cold water, as the ships nearby try to save them but have a hell of a hard time finding anybody because there was a storm. I didn't know anybody who was lost but I still had freaking nightmares about it for some years after it happened.

[@Spectra651]

My friends and I saw this one in the theater. The minute that pink 'Ghost Ship' title came up with the lounge music playing in the background we looked at each other like, "Hoo boy, *this* one's gonna be real lame." A few minutes later, though, after the opening scene, we sat there in shock, trying to process what we'd just witnessed. I like to think the title screen with its "Love Boat" feel and pink color and cheesy music playing were deliberate choices to lull the audience into a false sense of security, so when that scene *does* happen it's all-the-more impactful.

[@Khaleesi_Jack]

Lol, I felt the same. Just like the opening of Lemony Skicket's ASOUE, both openings tricked the fuck outta me, but was super surprised at this movie. Always loved it, I remember ordering it on ppv in likee 2003. Loved Emily Browning ever since.

[@Goldenkitten1]

I still feel that scene would have been so much more impactful if we hadn't seen that someone was about to cause something. Sure we didn't know "exactly" what was going to happen but it was blatantly clear everyone was about to die and probably not in a pleasant way. I think a better way of going about it would have been for the scene to occur without context that someone is doing something and then either showed a shadow walk away from the cable machinery right before the scene change or do a cut later in the film showing the scene as is present in the film in a flashback. I think the shock would have hit a lot harder if, yes we knew something bad was about to happen but had no real idea it was going to be quite as over the top as was being implied from the start.

Seeing The opening scene and the maggot scene as a kid soldered this movie into my brain. I owe this movie as being one of my foundation for my love for horror.

[@__idfk__]

When I was little, I found a copy of this movie hidden at the top of my family's entertainment storage closet (was full of movies, VHS tapes, old DVD/VHS players, video games, game consoles, etc). I honestly thought it would just be a simple movie about exploring an abandoned ship and the story of the ship. With the opening scene, I realized I was pleasantly mistaken. This movie kinda started my love for horror and gore, now my favorite genre of entertainment, which I couldn't be any more thankful for. I love this movie so much.

[@NorthWestern1919]

The fictional Antonia Graza was based off a real-life Italian ocean liner, the Andrea Doria, which, 65 years ago to this day, was involved in a collision with the Swedish liner Stockholm in thick fog, and sank ten hours later, with its final plunge caught on camera. So I have to say, that was some unintentionally great timing on this video.

[@Kitten2642]

Person who tackled Katie was most likely the soul taker. He seems to only be able to manipulate people who have sinned, so that may be why some of the ghosts can manipulate whether or not they can be touched and why Katie only appears to the one “who is without sin” if that’s even really possible.

[@Quandry1]

you would have it correct. she's an innocent so the soul taker/ferryman doesn't have control over her. She's essentially a stowaway stuck along for the ride. So Katie is either tackled by the soul taker/ferryman or one of the ghosts he has control over.

The opening is arguably the best part of this movie (and one of the best horror movie openings of all time). Overall, the film is a bit of a trainwreck, but it's an enjoyable trainwreck. Definitely one to watch if you just want a fun horror flick.

[@frde2190]

You mean shipwreck?

[@armouredjester1622]

Scream did a great intro scene. They apparently tricked the audiences into thinking Drew Barrymore was the main character of the movie but nope, she's actually just the third person to die in the story.

[@ariw9405]

Love or hate this movie that opening scene is such an incredible feat of special fx and makeup. The team on this one was gifted.

[@DaRkLoRdZoRc]

That opening was one of the most memorable in any horror movie I've ever seen. Someone getting killed? Yeah, sure, that's to be expected at the start of a horror movie. A HUNDRED people getting killed? By being CUT IN HALF?? On a classy Italian luxury cruise liner? It covers so many disparate angles, but now that FF has mentioned the psychological element of the original script, yeah, it DEFINITELY has a Shining vibe to it, and it worked brilliantly. It's such a shame it sort of devolved into a generic 'kill-em-all' horror schlock movie later... I remember being disappointed by the reveal that Jack was a demon. It felt so hokey. But, knowing that he was meant to represent Charon, that's briliant. This could've been such a good movie if there was a bit more buildup for that. Also that boxart is badass and ain't nobody going to tell me otherwise. Everytime I hear the phrase 'ghost ship' to this day, that's the first thing I think of: that dark, towering skull on the prow of the Antonia Garza (which is an obvious reference to the Andrea Doria, and the ship nerd in me loves that). Had a big, nightmare-inducing poster of it on the wall as a kid and everything.

[@Lional]

Not only was that one of my favorite "horror" movies at the time, Mudvayne's "Not Falling" at the ending solidified it as a totally badass movie for me.

When I was a kid for Halloween I was the lead singer in my brother was the bass player

[@brianjenkins5918]

The nods to Charon are pretty big, Charon requires payment to cross the river Styx and because of that his attachment to the gold is pretty big

[@jenniferloving9054]

Yep. That's why it used to be a custom to put coins on the eyes of the dead.

[@wajmgirl]

My only thing is Charon’s not really an “evil” guy, he’s just a dude doing his job. He never needed to search out those to cross the river because they’d come eventually no matter what

[@garyreid6165]

Ghost Ship kind of reminded me of a movie called Death Ship(1980)starring Richard Crenna and George Kennedy. It is worth a look. The beginning of the film was a nice touch with the title in pink and Francesca singing and asking everyone to dance before the true horror begins. The song Francesca sings was in another film called Flight Of The Phoenix with Jimmy Stewart, in a hallucinatory sequence in that film. Emily Browning was cute as Katie, but it was tragic that she saw the mass murder going on all over the ship before she gets murdered. The ballroom transformation was pretty cool. I enjoyed Ghost Ship. Since this film, there was another film like it that was filmed a few years later that was shown on Showtime or Cinemax about an ocean liner that disappeared and reappearing years later.

[@pgpluss1076]

Ghost ship wasn't a terrible movie, i agree. It was an interesting watch.

[@KimmyKuppyKake94]

This is one of my all time favorite scary/horror films! It’s lore has always been so interesting to me and the hard rock music at the end of late 90’s early 20’s films has always just been a huge favorite of mine. No idea why but, it just scratches an itch in me. This was also the movie that got me into Mudvayne at a young age! So good.

[@dawnbuckner2369]

This was actually a really good film. Made you think of the seven deadly sins. The movie was underrated for it was up against movies that came out that same time. The cast did a great job. The special effects team did an amazing job without using a lot of CGI. Too many movies now have loads of CGI, which takes a lot out from from real movie magic, which now would be called CGI magic. I like older horror movies from 2015 and back, without a lot of CGI.

[@sapientunderground]

Love this movie, even more than 13 Ghosts. Glad to have both in my collection. One of my favorite lines ever from a movie ("Winners do not empathize with losers."), and one of my favorite cheeky lines - Epps: "Have you told anyone else about this?" Ferriman: "Not a living soul." Thanks for giving it due love.

[@sweeety969]

What adds a layer of fear to it all is that since he can shapeshift, he can just change his appearance if she or any other survivors ever go looking for him. He could basically keep going forever. His motives are unclear however. Was he after the gold or trying to take more souls? Because if he wanted more souls, he could have just started over on a new boat. He'd have access to way more people in a new ship, rather than an old salvage ship. And if he needed to get the gold back for some reason, then why risk it by killing them off, and blowing up their boat and all that? Why not just get them to salvage it for him, and maybe kill them all after it was done? Was there like a minimum of souls he HAD to have on that boat? Since it looked like he's done it before, as that's what the modern watch they found there implied. It might have been mentioned, I don't remember, but I'm confused by his motive.

[@YuhBoiiiii]

It seems he’s specifically tied to that ship and uses the gold as a means to lure people onto the ship and kill for it. Thus rinse and repeat until that ship collects enough souls for him to send it up to management. Appears he has to collect a certain amount on the ship before he can be done with the job. So he continuously charters salvagers over and over to the ship to collect their souls knowing they’ll kill each other for the gold he leads them to on the ship.

[@sophistenger5572]

I also think he specifically lured them to the ship in order to repair it as well, it's mentioned that the ship was hit by something and slowly sinking, and he gets angry at one point and screams something about needing them to repair it

[@Peppermint-Snaps]

I do think that either "Jack Ferryman" was Charon or a spirit who has to essencially take over due to the sheer number of people who exist now in the world, who happened to either die from the greed or actions he displayed in life and now suffer in his own sort of hell for it, and can't actually hurt anyone until they give into their own sins. Because you'll notice early on in the movie, he's polite, kind and a nice guy. It's not until the crew start becoming greedy with the gold, or giving into lust or drinking which are pretty big no no's in almost every major civilization morality wise did shit really hit the fan. He even states in the movie that he only punishes the sinners and he can't corrupt the young girl because while dead, she didn't actually do anything. I do think that in the end, Epps wouldn't have actually died. If you watch, he's still trying to corrupt her into doing something bad so he can kill and punish her soul but she's all, naw fam. You could say that it's unfair that Jack tricking people into their vices onboard the ship is evil but I mean, life is hardly fair. I don't even think the gold is real, I think it's more of like gold plated trickery to bring out the greed which lead to their tiny ship exploding. If they left the gold on the big ship, everyone might have survived. But hey, that's just a theory. A film th... wait wait, wrong channel.
