The plot doesn't always make sense, despite a thunderous explicatory montage halfway through, but as a fresh setting for terror shenanigans.

Not scary enough for its own good, Beck's Ghost Ship ends up stuck, enjoyably enough, between the Scylla of schlock and the Charybdis of camp.

Inventive, very scary film that is almost claustrophobic in it's atmosphere. Great effects to boot. Although ghost ship movies have been done before, this is still a fine movie. The opening sequence rates a bravo, in my opinion.

It had great acting, great practical effects, an interesting story and it was overall pretty entertaining.Sure, it was cliché and some CGI effects might look a little bit dated but, it's still a solid movie.

Although there are several truly jolting scares, there's also an abundance of hackneyed dialogue and more silly satanic business than you can shake a severed limb at.

Likely to appeal only to undiscriminating nudity-- and gore -- starved adolescents.

So preoccupied with delivering its effects that it doesn't bother to make sense of its story.

Coincidentally, this is the second movie in two weeks about a haunted seafaring vessel ("Below" is the other), and if you see just one, this shouldn't be it.

See evil. See evil run. Run, evil, run all the way to cable television purgatory.

A very Briliant introduction sequence. The rest of the movie is less succesful but the introduction is one of the most inspired ones I ever seen

Very lacky on effective scares , but it manages to capture your Attention by the impressive set design, cliché but well flesh out characters, and a very mean spirit Story....

The beginning and the end of this movie is really the only good thing about the movie. Everything else is just a crew chasing around a ghost girl trying to figure out what happened to her. Pretty boring.

Terrible ending, No scares, Plain blood and **** a cluttered mess with and no enjoyment. The only good thing that made me put 3 instead of 0 was the typically same but worser Titanic.
