Ghost Ship
Julianna Margulies, Gabriel Byrne
If I were to make a movie called Ghost Ship, it would be about the Love Boat crossing the river Styx to deliver a load of dead guest stars to the Underworld. Which is another way of saying that, apart from a spectacularly gross-out prologue and an unexpectedly kitschy wrap-up, there is not much in Ghost Ship to keep your mind from floating off like flotsam on a lifting tide.
A team of marine scavengers board the Antonia Graza, a long-vanished Italian luxury cruiser that has turned up in the Bering Sea. There are no signs of life other than some rats and a well-intentioned girl ghost who keeps trying to shoo crew member Margulies off this haunted vessel, where the pool fills up with blood and corpses tumble out of the laundry room. A few scenes suggest The Shining aboard the Titanic, but mostly this is a slow cruise to hell. (R)
