Ghost Ship (spoilers)

I'll have this on Tuesday regardless of the negetive things I've heard. Is it really that bad?

After I post this I'll go read the review. I liked it. I liked it alot actually. First off the images that the DVD flashes through when changing menus are pretty disturbing, very cool. I jumped from menu to menu for a few minutes just to see them a couple of times. Wow, that opening sequence is just sweet as hell. It starts off with some great colors, very rich in detail and the singers voice is very serene and relaxing and then that winch started to move and so did my testicles, right up into my body cause I knew what was coming and the fact they did in in slow motion made it all the more excruciating. The images of the people clutching at their lower halves lying next to them and flopping around on the ground will stick with me forever. Aside from that there were some good fright gags even though instead of really getting freaky they stuck with the obvious. I don't think Warner Brothers would have allowed them to let their imaginations run wild at this point in the horror movie timeline. I think they must have had some great ideas but weren't allowed to use them. I say this just because of the sets and the way things were set up for some really mind bending stuff that surely must have crossed their minds. Hollywood is all about being safe and Kubrick wasn't directing to say F you I'm doing it this way so I don't think it's fair to expect many ountlandish things until the suits get their damn priorities straight! The girl could have been scarier, more like the twins in The Shining, but again it's Warner Brothers. Like I said I liked it alot, of course it could have been better but I can say the same thing about The Others which I thought was a great movie but again tempered by the pathetically mundane Hollywood!

Hmmm, odd review.

It doesn't take much to please me with horror either but I do have some standards! I think it was a genuinely good movie though. It seemed like towards the end they had to cram alot of plot in there because they took their time allowing it to unfold in the beginning but I enjoyed the whole thing pretty much. A really cool moment for me was when the girl took the woman on a tour of the flashbacks. When they showed that opening dance floor scene again the girls expression as she's watching it over again was great! Anybody know what I'm talking about?

[EDIT]

From watching it once I think she was grimacing at her initial facial reaction to the captains head getting sliced in half as she's watching herself and remembering what that moment was like the first time through!

Just a random thought but little girls in dresses frighten me deeply!

Heh, no just Sunday dresses looking all innocent because I know that there is a malevolence there and it scares me!
