Goofs

Throughout the film, the doors to all the cabins are seen to open to the inside. Yet, when Epps is wandering the ship looking for Katie's cabin, all the doors in the hall automatically slam shut in a row and close from the outside. When Epps sees Katie's cabin door open, it opens to the inside. See more »

Crazy Credits

The opening logos are tinted brown, and the typical Warner Bros. logo is instead an intentionally chintzy 60s style logo. All this ties into the infamous cruise ship opening. See more »

Not quite a sinking ship
29 March 2004 | by (Bedfordshire , England) – See all my reviews

Ghost Ship is by no means the worst horror i have ever seen in fact some parts of this film are quite entertaining, the problem seems to be some of the poor digital computer special affect that make this film look like a bit of a B Movie. Some of the affects are good expecially the opening scene where we see the crewe of the ship killed by a steel rope.The acting is ok and the characters are good so that when they are picked off one by one ,you care. There are a lot of question left unanswered though and in stages the scenes apear to have been put in any old order . If you like Horror and dont want a film you have to think about too much then i sugest you give this a go. 6 out of 10.
