So on paper I thought this would be similar to "Ghost Ship". Surprisingly it was alot more brutal. The Ferryman character only has so much of a half life. He must kill and possess each character to fill his quota. What turned me off about the film is how mean spirited it is. Really for no reason.
The plot isn't advanced by the baddie picking up a Dog and breaking it's spine. Nor is it by taunting the Dog and hearing it cry in pain before it goes overboard. Lousy writing. The movie doesn't really get any better. It tries to make the most of it's cramped quarters.
One thing I will give the film props for is it's international cast of characters. Instead of a group of dumb Teens on a party Boat we have adults. Refreshing to say the least. I will say I felt bad for the characters for being in such dire circumstances. So the acting is convincing.
The movie is just too dark for it's own good. Mean spirited and bleak. The movie ends in predictable fashion... I wanted to like this movie. But the prolonged torture of the Dog and no light at the end of the Tunnel for anyone really brings it down.
You could say that's the point of a horror movie. To make one feel uncomfortable. But it's just too much. I wasn't expecting a horror comedy. But I wasn't expecting to be depressed. I'm sure someone will enjoy it. It just wasn't for me... Happy hunting.
