For as long as the mysterious, deserted ship is portrayed as a complete riddle, the film is fascinating, interesting and beautifully shot. The high quality level is held up a little while longer but unfortunately it loses his grip during the second half.

The vicious opening sequence is professional horror a scene that grabs you by the throat and demands your complete attention and curiosity for the rest of the movie. That's an effort that gets my appreciation. Cast and crew paid attention to building up a horrifying atmosphere instead of attacking the audience with lame and violent killing scenes. Still a long way from being a good horror film but a step in the right direction, to say the least. I'm rather pleasantly surprised after seeing Ghost Ship I expected it to be a lot sillier, more dumb and inferior than it actually is.
