   Underrated lewton; very claustrophobic and philosophical, though I would’ve wished it were more creepy. 4 years 3 months ago

   The Ghost Ship is a minor Val Lewton production set aboard a boat that only meets the title's promise obliquely. The thriller's non-supernatural menace is actually the ship's captain whose God complex proves dangerous for the crew. When his new third-in-command dares question his methods, he may put his life, and that of others, in danger. While that's a strong premise, and the ship an unusual and original closed environment, the film suffers from a theatrical, written (not to be as uncharitable as to use the term wooden) delivery from all the actors. A matter of style, perhaps, but unlike other Lewton horror/thrillers, the direction doesn't add film noir panache. Instead, additional oddness comes in the form of a voice-over from an unusual source, but that alone isn't enough to make The Ghost Ship rises to the top. 6 years 5 months ago
