A supernatural horror movie includes one of the best opening scenes ever

This post contains Spoilers For a “ghost ship”.

In 2002, Steve Beck’s “ghost ship” sailed in theaters and became a decent commercial success, reaching $ 68.3 million at the global box office for a budget of $ 20 million. This was not important, too, as the film looked more preoccupied with scary special effects (which seem now dated) than telling a coherent story that leaves a strong impression. However, while “Shop Ship” is not a kind of horror films you see for the installation plot, It makes it completely enjoyable This does not adhere to logic or application. It is also derivative as HECK for the largest part, although “Shop Ship” does not pretend to be something not. The film embraces the roots of the trick full of B-MOVIE The typical horror movie in 2000Switching the list of specialized stories for ultra -design.

Sometimes, though, until we shake the medium horror dust like “Ghost Ship” can feature a cold open to be impossible to forget. Instead of relying on the value of the shock in everything, the amazing opening sequence of the film gradually builds anxiety on its way to an unexpected violent conclusion.

The “ship’s ghost” opens with a party on board the Italian ocean lining, Mrs. Antonia Grata, where hundreds of passengers are seen dancing and spending fun. The scene contains a fun mood at first, with a beautiful singer who performs “Senza Fine” while a little girl named Katie (Emily Browning) looks bored. Then she is called an older man Katie to dance in an attempt to include her in the party’s collective spirit, and she accepts. Certainly, this quiet sweet moment will not end in the tragedy, right?

What happens after that is a bloodbath, although the narcotic and brutal horror in this scene really comes from the way it slowly builds tension before things go south in the most terrifying and unexpected ways. Take one mysterious hand on a crane, a cut wire, a boat full of heedless guests, and got all the ingredients you need to get a terrifying recipe for a disaster. However, let’s talk about the dark, shining opening of “Shop Ship” and how the rest of the movie is desperate (and failed) to upgrade it.

As the party continues on board Antonia Graza, a series of terrible events occurs quickly. A mysterious person pays a crane, causing a series of engines and well -being to cry and stutter on the ship. In the end, a particularly tight wire settles through the fun crowd, wandering on the other side with blood and viscera. For a moment, everything is still as guests look at horror, as if he was in disbelief while hanging in a timely manner. This is when Beck performs the formation and suspense fruits, as the camera moves on different guests, and revealed that their bodies have been accurately cut into two halves at different points.

The wire has cut off everything (from metal to bones), causing bodies, falling, and receiving in a state of panic. Katie is the only one exempt from this fate, because she was a child and was very short so that the wire did not collide with. The man who was dancing with her also falls on the ground, causing Katie screaming in terrorism. The bodies around their blood and courage, with some still imagine in an attempt to reach half a charge. A mixture of abundant vein and the scene of a child is witnessing something deeply shocked, which looks like a punch in the intestine, creating an ideal atmosphere for the remarkable horror click. Unfortunately, the rest of the film runs out of steam very quickly.

When another crew decides to climb to Graza and solve the mystery of what happened after years, all the following is a very complicated way of its benefit. A ghost child (!) Deceives passengers to accelerate their disappearance, and a rescue ships explode in mysterious circumstances, and it appears that an evil demonic spirit is responsible for this ridiculous chaos. It is difficult to take most of the camp the camp in the “ship ghost” seriously, but there is a sequence in which the child mentioned above shows the member of the rescue crew (Juliana Margolis) what In reality It happened on the fateful night. It is an interesting scene that reminds us of the wonderful opening. Flashback, which also followed, reveals uncomfortable details by the blood massacre, while John Frzzell “My Little Box” in the background.

I deliberately block the main plot details because “Ghost Ship” is worth watching at least once, even if everything is noticeably after its opening scene. If you want to try B-TSSHER Film B. This is ridiculous but realized for itself, then a “ghost ship” may be just an ideal hour for you.
