Reviewed September 13, 2006
A team of salvagers locates a mysterious, deserted ocean liner adrift in the Atlantic; they explore the ship, discover a gleaming hoard of treasure, and prepare to take their find back to civilization—but it’s increasingly (and grimly) obvious that something on the ship doesn’t want them to make it home. It’s your typical quirky-characters-trapped-and-hunted fare—and, while it ain’t Masterpiece Theater, I’ll admit I’d expected a lot worse. The characters are broadly drawn and, while not exactly nuanced, at least they’re amusing, sympathetic, and not as stupid as the usual horror-heroes. I’ve heard that this movie was originally intended to be less gory and more psychological; while I probably would have liked that better, the dumbed-down (and entrailed-up) new plot works as well as campy horror can. Oh, and the first scene? Priceless.
