Comments: I'm not quite sure why, but for some strange reason I've always wanted to watch Ghost Ship. The film's nothing special, but it was entertaining enough for the most part (as usual, once they start explaining everything, it goes way downhill). The dialogue (and by extension, the acting) leaves a lot to be desired, especially with a number of decent actors included (Julianna Margulies, Gabriel Byrne, and Karl Urban, to name a few). All of the characters are variations of horror cliches, but the abandoned boat provides an interesting setting - plus there's that hot naked Italian chick, so I guess there were a few positives... but not many.
