    Director Steve Beck follows up his good-looking fiasco Thir13en Ghosts with another horror that favours style over substance. A hackneyed and unsophisticated morality tale — where greed is inevitably rewarded with tragedy — it revolves around skipper Gabriel Byrne and his salvage team who think they've struck gold when they discover a mysterious, loot-filled cruise liner that's been lost at sea since the 1960s. In fairness, this grisly take on the Marie Celeste legend opens promisingly with an outrageously bloody effects-explosion that defines the mood with a jugular-grabbing jolt. Unfortunately, the ineffectual performances (particularly from an unconvincing Julianna Margulies) and threadbare plot effectively eliminate further tension. Beck desperately replays his key gory moment in an attempt to keep the action afloat, but, instead of providing a lifeline, this simply emphasises what turgid nonsense the rest of the movie really is.

    Suprisingly good

    I'm not much one for ghost films but this was great entertainment.

    Captain Sean Murphy and his salvage crew are given an opportunity to investigate a sighting of a seemingly abandoned ship in the Bering Sea. But when they actually find it, something far more horrific and deadly than they have ever encountered before, awaits them.

    Good special effects and very freaky sequences along with a decent plot. When you first put this on you wonder if the discs have got muddled up and thats its some romantic sixties film. It doesn't take long before the story starts to emerge.
