I never could finish this movie. That opening scene set the bar WAY too high, and the next half hour or so was such a drag by comparison that I couldn't sit through it.
It really is the high point. Everything else was so derivative and ho hum. I kept waiting for it to crank it back up but nope. Studio interference strikes again, and the end product is a muddled mess.
This is really the issue with alot of movies at this time, 13 ghosts, this, the house on haunted hill has so epicly awesome scary opening moments....and then screw up the rest of the movie. Especially house on haunted hill, the operation scene with the camera, is probably one of the best moments, and then right after that.
@@wolfwing1 well, they're all from the same studio. It was a relatively small one and, though the script is lacking sometimes, it's kinda impressive what they managed to deliver: not all good, but enjoyable. And kinda consistent in genre, style and structure, so you know what you're getting into. Kinda like criticising Marvel movies for most of them being clones of one another.
I actually enjoy this movie lol definitely a guilty pleasure. But the atmosphere and claustrophobia of being stuck on a ship scares me plus the opening and flashback scenes are great
This opening scene, I couldn’t remember where I saw it, but it hunted me since childhood. Thanks for letting me know it was from this shitty movie, automatically less scary ;)
YES! I honestly thought I was the only one. Especially that scene where the ghost girl showed the main character how everyone on the boat died. I actually had nightmares for awhile
The opening scene was the ONLY good part. Emily Browning was the ONLY convincing character. It was the hugest let down. Thank god I'm not the only one who was thinking Event Horizon here!
I love this movie regardless of what anyone else thinks. It's cheesy but fun. The opening scene and the flashbacks of the murders is interesting. I also really love Not Falling playing during the credits. I loved watching this during sleepovers.
I genuinely love this movie, it's a lot of fun and seeing Desmond Harrington play the soul salvager was amazing since I enjoyed his character a lot in Dexter. What a legend
Some people saw Amityville Horror or Freddy at possibly to young an age, Ghost Ship and Rose Red were my Amityville, couldn't eat canned food for years after that
So, fun fact. About a year ago, I had a botched tonsillectomy that caused me to lose 40 pounds worth of weight from dehydration and constant bleeding and vomiting. Before one of my many surgeries to fix it, while I lay dazed and groggy in my hospital bed, this movie came on. My dad began hyping it up as one of the best horror movies ever. He constantly talked about it, and was so excited that I finally would get to see it. Somehow, despite the constant bleeding, and twitching, and massive headaches, I was finally able to get a good nights sleep, cause this movie was soooo terrible, that I feel asleep halfway through.
This was released 2 months before lord of the rings came out... karl urban actually filmed lotr first I believe.. or simultaneously ... ghost ship came out two months before but his best role to date I think was lotr... I lived him in that... not so much ghost ship though... lmao
I saw this movie when it first came out and I thought it was great. I still think that even today. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Movies are subjective so to each their own.
My eldest child and I love this movie. We didn't have internet or cable for several years. So we watched lots of movies. This is still one of our favorite movies. Plus Mudvayne effing rock 🤘
i like event horizon.. ghost ship.. the relic.. deep rising.. virus and so on.. cause this were the early 2000s.. where's "film" turn into "movie".. people hate those type of movie caused its too jumble with bad script.. for me.. i'm a story lover even the movie "meh".. the "basic" story that attract me.. many of early 2000s movies had bad script..
But this movie scripts so good even it's on 2002 :) Do you agree ?! I am 50 years old and seen lots of horror movies , the ghost ship is one interested me. Nice and cool Review btw. I like it 🤟👻
This guy keeps getting recommended to me but I always thought “nahhh”. Clicked play for the first time and this guy is surprisingly funny! Very nice and in-depth explanation! Definitely subbed!
I watched this in theater, thought it was pretty enjoyable but I am going to agree with the comments here, the opening shot sets the bar REALLY high while the rest can't even reach half that level. Its still a fun B flick and if you like haunted house movies its worth checking it out.
I remember watching that movie with my sister. And somehow, we kept telling each other what would happen next and were right 9 times out of 10. That's how transparent and basic this story was.
I like the movie. You're right about the opening scene being the highlight of the movie. But, the final confrontation between Epps and Ferryman was unintentionally hilarious. Especially when Ferryman's hopping on one leg after the fight with Epps! Lolz
Regardless of the flaws, I've always loved this movie. The main issues that have always bugged me are: 1) Why was the Captain hit so high up w/ Kate untouched when the cable was abdomen height? 2) If Ferryman's "Management" "would not be happy" if he didn't deliver his souls (thus implying he's screwed if he screws up...) then why do we see him starting all over again after he lost ALL of his souls??
I had no idea it was directed by the same guy from Thirteen Ghosts but now looking back at the cinematography it definitely makes sense and as to why I love both. But as mentioned before yes the opening scene was so iconic yet the rest of the movie didn’t follow through. Still a good departure from the 80/90’s teen slashers and super overcliche horrors
But "13 Ghosts" was cool , at least when it came out and I watched it , about 20 years ago or so ....I really liked it. Even the effects were pretty cool, considering it was way before all the new effects, animation and rendering. I just recently thought of this movie with "the glass house, the spell and these ghosts" and it took a little while, before I finally remembered the exact title....^^
I wanna make a question, how the little girl survives? In the flash back the captain and the little girl are in a plateau on the middle of the dance floor, but when the wires cut everybody below abdomen, it manages to cut the head of captain but not the girl!! So how she survives
My understanding of why the ghosts helped him is that, 1. Once his quota is filled, they get to move on, and 2. He can somewhat control marked/sinner ghosts. That explains why little girl was able to do her own thing, but other than boozing the alcoholic, the captain was dishing useful backstory and Intel.
In John Carpenters The Thing we never get the ' sitting around the break room introducing the characters and their quirks scene'. And it's so much better that way! Some characters get more screentime, others don't. Some we get to know pretty well, others we don't...and it feels real. So much better.
The thing that made me laugh while watching this movie is the alt rock playing during the montages. It's such a weeeeird movie. The set is amazing, I feel like this setting deserves better.
I may be late on commenting, but I haven't been a subscriber very long. At least you can take solace in knowing I am busy watching ALL of your reviews!! I'm Catlady Redd again, and I'm now a loyal fan, and a subscriber.
7:40 They’re all his prisoners, but only some help him. Some try to help Epps and her friends. That’s why the Captain talks to Aquarium guy. That and plot advancement/Captain-sposition. I thought this movie was a bit better when you watch it a second time. You can see things from another point of view, like how much Jack is pretending like he’s got no clue what’s going on. Also, if you really want to be scared, go to FanFiction.Net. There are plenty of fans who ship (pun intended) Jack and Maureen.
Okay so i just looked it up and apparently the reason some souls help and others don’t is because ferriman can control the souls of those marked for hell while the other souls of victims the unmarked are simply his prisoners
*Very nice review! To be honest with you, I do like this movie and I think the cast did a good job. But you are right: if Jack killed the previous Antonia Graza crew, why did the ghosts of the crew members helped him kill other people? Jack said himself that once the souls are "marked", he can't bring them to life again so technically those ghosts wouldn't have any benefits by killing others - just saying.*
Can you review Shannon Elizabeth movies like for example American Pie 1 & 2,Scary Movie,Jay and Silent Bob,Tomcats,13 Ghosts,Dish Dogs,Confessions of an American Bride,Kid and I,Johnson Family Vacation,Cursed,You Belong to me and Night of the Demons please?
Cool movie review and pointing out the similarity between Ghost Ship and Event Horizon. Would you review Westworld (1973) and Jurassic Park back to back ? that would be a very good eye-opener for movie similarities as well.
There was so many ways they could have done it, like have the ghosts onboard be malevolent, or have the Antonia Graza be cursed. In other words remove the ferryman and just have evil killer ghosts or that the builder of the ship offered the souls of the xrew and oassengers to the Devil!
I tell everyone that Ghost Ship is worth a watch. It’s just the ending (literally the last 10 minutes) of the movie that are a let down to what I think, up until that point, is a pretty good horror movie.
How did they totally mess up Charon's MO? He didn't need to trap souls to take them across Styx. His whole deal was just taking people to the afterlife
The problem with this movie is it blows its load WAY too early. That opening scene is unforgettable and it grips you immediately, but it's a little TOO good, so the movie has nowhere to go from there except downhill. I saw it in the theater with my friends, and at the 5 minute mark our jaws were on the floor while we tried to process what we'd just seen, but I honestly don't remember a single thing that happens during the rest of the film.
If one are going to base the number of souls harvested by the Ferryman/Ferriman on the SS Andrea Doria (the ship that the Antonia Graza was based on) there was 1200 passengers onboard and a crew of 500. So if what one of the crew members say in the bonus footage was true about them using half the crew, that means that Ferriman harvested 1450 souls that night and since the crew killed each other over the gold it evened out to 1700 souls. So why wasn't his quota full? In sarcastic tone of voice: What, it took him 40 years to get the job done?
Movie IS flawed but still hands downs better than the over-done teens in a cabin/ haunted house/party....
Except for The Cabin In The Woods, that was made as a parody.
@@thehungriestcannibal I did enjoy that one!
@@thehungriestcannibal Exact words I was going to say! One of my favorite horror/comedies. I also loved Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.
Better than Cabin Fever
I never could finish this movie. That opening scene set the bar WAY too high, and the next half hour or so was such a drag by comparison that I couldn't sit through it.

@@Burner-B yeah, not sure which is worse, a shitty movie, or a shitty movie that gets your hopes up with a few great scenes heh.
I actually enjoy this movie lol definitely a guilty pleasure. But the atmosphere and claustrophobia of being stuck on a ship scares me plus the opening and flashback scenes are great
I liked it too
I've been watching horror movies for like 2 years now since I was 12 and this wasnt that scary for me but I still thought it was fun I guess
This opening scene, I couldn’t remember where I saw it, but it hunted me since childhood. Thanks for letting me know it was from this shitty movie, automatically less scary ;)
I almost shat myself when i was 10 the first part
I loved this movie when I was ten
hunted? I think you mean haunted have a nice day
this is the best horror movie ever made.
YES! I honestly thought I was the only one. Especially that scene where the ghost girl showed the main character how everyone on the boat died. I actually had nightmares for awhile
Yup it's cheesy and cliche but man I enjoyed it even after 17 years. I watched this around release date and I just saw it again today.
I saw this in theaters, too!
same just seen it again for 5th time
I love your profile pic 😂
Thanks bud I feel old now 😂
They need to make a second film, they show that it’s going to happen again.
The opening scene was the ONLY good part.
Emily Browning was the ONLY convincing character.
It was the hugest let down.
Thank god I'm not the only one who was thinking Event Horizon here!
I love this movie regardless of what anyone else thinks. It's cheesy but fun. The opening scene and the flashbacks of the murders is interesting. I also really love Not Falling playing during the credits. I loved watching this during sleepovers.
I really love these smaller channels coming up in my recommend
I genuinely love this movie, it's a lot of fun and seeing Desmond Harrington play the soul salvager was amazing since I enjoyed his character a lot in Dexter. What a legend
This was my favorite movie I grew up with it.
Some people saw Amityville Horror or Freddy at possibly to young an age, Ghost Ship and Rose Red were my Amityville, couldn't eat canned food for years after that

New Bee reviews, i gotta say you do a good job describing the movies. I love your comedy in them.
"Carnival the fun ship" 💀
Haha 😂
This was released 2 months before lord of the rings came out... karl urban actually filmed lotr first I believe.. or simultaneously
... ghost ship came out two months before but his best role to date I think was lotr... I lived him in that... not so much ghost ship though... lmao
I LOVE lord of the rings, but his role as butcher in the boys is next level.
I saw this movie when it first came out and I thought it was great. I still think that even today. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Movies are subjective so to each their own.
Trust me. You are not the only one that kept comparing it to Event Horizon.
My eldest child and I love this movie. We didn't have internet or cable for several years. So we watched lots of movies. This is still one of our favorite movies. Plus Mudvayne effing rock 🤘
I always show everyone this opening scene, "it's worth the one point alone". This is a good what could have been type of movie.
Honestly digging the dad humor Haha, it's a nice change to hear good natured humor that makes you laugh
i like event horizon.. ghost ship.. the relic.. deep rising.. virus and so on.. cause this were the early 2000s.. where's "film" turn into "movie".. people hate those type of movie caused its too jumble with bad script.. for me.. i'm a story lover even the movie "meh".. the "basic" story that attract me.. many of early 2000s movies had bad script..
I agree, though I have pretty bad tastes in movies anyways.
But this movie scripts so good even it's on 2002 :)
Do you agree ?!
I am 50 years old and seen lots of horror movies , the ghost ship is one interested me.
Nice and cool Review btw.
I like it 🤟👻
This guy keeps getting recommended to me but I always thought “nahhh”.
Clicked play for the first time and this guy is surprisingly funny! Very nice and in-depth explanation! Definitely subbed!

The very first horror movie I remember watching, about a thousand years ago on chiller lmao, when my parents were gone for the weekend. Good times.
Ferryman - Charon, the ferryman that transports souls across the River Styx.
Regardless of the flaws, I've always loved this movie. The main issues that have always bugged me are: 1) Why was the Captain hit so high up w/ Kate untouched when the cable was abdomen height? 2) If Ferryman's "Management" "would not be happy" if he didn't deliver his souls (thus implying he's screwed if he screws up...) then why do we see him starting all over again after he lost ALL of his souls??
Now I want to see the purge meets love boat
"Willard, you have some 'splaining' to do" 😂

But as mentioned before yes the opening scene was so iconic yet the rest of the movie didn’t follow through. Still a good departure from the 80/90’s teen slashers and super overcliche horrors
Oh thank God I found another review I haven't watched yet when I need some humour! You're keeping me going , basically.
But "13 Ghosts" was cool , at least when it came out and I watched it , about 20 years ago or so ....I really liked it. Even the effects were pretty cool, considering it was way before all the new effects, animation and rendering.
I just recently thought of this movie with "the glass house, the spell and these ghosts" and it took a little while, before I finally remembered the exact title....^^
I found your channel today and you’re my favorite movie review channel
Literally your intro was the full review thanks for saving us 10 minutes lol
This is one of my favorite horror movies and that opening scence is just WOW! Thanks for covering this one 🙂
Can you do the Wrong Turn or Jeepers Creepers review?
OO those are some good ideas!
I wanna make a question, how the little girl survives? In the flash back the captain and the little girl are in a plateau on the middle of the dance floor, but when the wires cut everybody below abdomen, it manages to cut the head of captain but not the girl!! So how she survives
They implied she was short enough to slip under the wire. I think the captain pushed her down.
My understanding of why the ghosts helped him is that, 1. Once his quota is filled, they get to move on, and 2. He can somewhat control marked/sinner ghosts.
That explains why little girl was able to do her own thing, but other than boozing the alcoholic, the captain was dishing useful backstory and Intel.
That makes a lot of sense
Now I want to see "The Purge Boat".
I really enjoy this reviewer's style, and I would love to give a "Thumbs Up", but it currently sits at 666, and my religion forbids it.
3:37 great refrence lol. I would have used the one from Flushed Away.
In John Carpenters The Thing we never get the ' sitting around the break room introducing the characters and their quirks scene'. And it's so much better that way! Some characters get more screentime, others don't. Some we get to know pretty well, others we don't...and it feels real. So much better.

As a child, this movie terrified me, as an adult - it was mindless brain cleansing during Final exams. Great review as always, NewBee.
these edits are gold 😂
This was taken off tv and now I'm really sad because it was my favorite horror movie and STILL IS. They really need to put this back on tv.
So I've watchef like 10 videos so far. You deserve all the subs dude your hilarious and gotta love the miller time line. Keep it up please
this is def one of my favorite fims of all time! don’t judge me...
This movie was terrifying. That damn little girl freaked me out.
You crack me up “subscribed”
Yes, review Even Horizon... great video as usual...
The beginning is pretty brutal not half bad movie overall.
Okay so i just looked it up and apparently the reason some souls help and others don’t is because ferriman can control the souls of those marked for hell while the other souls of victims the unmarked are simply his prisoners
Hell yeah, hurrah for these neverending amazing contents.
You are my favorite movie guy on the tube man.
Cheers and keep on rockin'!
I remember only the rope part cutting everyone in half but couldn't remember what it came from so i thought i imagined it.

This movie is SCARY. That gear scene haunts me to this day...😨
That scene where they ate maggots made me not eating for a week when i was a kid.
Youre a way better film reviewer than the others. Instantly subscribed!
I remember this as a child, Ey keep it up dude
"couple more I get a set of steak knives" LOL
I remember watching it when I was in my early teens.
It didn’t scare me too much, but I still liked it.
I couldn't find your Event Horizon Review! Please link!
I haven't made it yet, but coming soon
Can you review Shannon Elizabeth movies like for example American Pie 1 & 2,Scary Movie,Jay and Silent Bob,Tomcats,13 Ghosts,Dish Dogs,Confessions of an American Bride,Kid and I,Johnson Family Vacation,Cursed,You Belong to me and Night of the Demons please?
Cool movie review and pointing out the similarity between Ghost Ship and Event Horizon. Would you review Westworld (1973) and Jurassic Park back to back ? that would be a very good eye-opener for movie similarities as well.
My biggest problem with this movie is the fact that 2 men would not be able to carry a crate of gold bars.
Even haunted gold? AHHHHHHHHHH
This guy should have more subs! Seriously. He’s fantastic
There was so many ways they could have done it, like have the ghosts onboard be malevolent, or have the Antonia Graza be cursed. In other words remove the ferryman and just have evil killer ghosts or that the builder of the ship offered the souls of the xrew and oassengers to the Devil!
when I was little I saw this with my sister i stole it from my parents VHS or DVD collection I can't remember which. I always liked this one
Wow hey NewBee! Never actually though you would answer! Subbed and liked! Can't wait to see more content!
Series of Unfortunate Events! I saw what ya did there! HA!
Totally intentional reference / understatement!
The ghosts help him beacuse they were branded as sinners it's pretty clear which is why the litte girl can help she's innocent
The movie traumatized me for life. Saw it when I was like 3 years old with my cousins.
What's weirder is how the hell katie survive the metal rope scene if some of the dead people we're cut in half lol
I tell everyone that Ghost Ship is worth a watch. It’s just the ending (literally the last 10 minutes) of the movie that are a let down to what I think, up until that point, is a pretty good horror movie.
So am I the only one on the entire planet who LIKES this movie?
No. I love this movie too!
@@catlyana13oh cool.
I remember seeing this movie in a drive in movie theater with my parents when I was 6 years old. The opening scene scared the shit out of me!!
Ghost ship and dead silence are my fave older films 🤷🏼♀️
I just found out as soon as the cast that signed on for this movie were told the script was completely changed. Hmm……
This is one of my guilty pleasure movies to be honest
It seemed like they tried to put a bit of The Shining on a ship😂😂😂
Damn the boat got one hell of a killstreak
Still hands down one of the best opening scenes in any horror movie. Really if you stop right there you're good.
It's 2:00 AM in the morning and I'm watching this
I Love the comedic parts.
you have come my new movie review guy
This movie always airs every October on AMC for some reason.
You need more recognition
How did they totally mess up Charon's MO? He didn't need to trap souls to take them across Styx. His whole deal was just taking people to the afterlife
Why haven't I found your Chanel earlier 😭😭😭

Man, it sucks that it was only remembered for the first scene.
The first scene made me afraid of steel cables forever, the rest of the movie ended my insomnia problems
The Purge Boat...................soon we'll be making another run................................... :D
