GL84 Awakening on a strange ship, a group of passengers find the ship haunted by ghosts determined to teach them the error of their past lives and must find a way off the ship.This was a highly impressive effort that has a lot of great things going for it. The main thing to this one is the incredible suspense that this one has with several elements helping that along. The mystery about why they're there is the best part about the beginning of the film as the more they discover about what they're doing there and the strange circumstances surrounding the ship, it gives the film a great atmosphere about how well-supported the mystery is. The ship itself is absolutely incredible as the design and layout looks creepy without the ghosts as the dark corridors, crowded rooms, mysterious passageways and overall creepy demeanor is simply marvelous. Throw the ghosts into that kind of situation and it becomes all the creepier as they look really great with the appropriate dead air in their eyes which gives the film a really nice touch. The attack scenes are really great and manage to get some tension in the film with everything from the ghostly whispers heard off in the distance to a simple little shock appearance or long, extended confrontations of them attacking the passengers like the confrontation with the creature of fire tentacles, and the fact that there's quite a few of them manages to keep it exciting and fun. Along with the rather nice gore on display, there's a lot to like here while the only true flaw is the sudden inclusion of a weird sense of morality into the ending. The spirituality mentioned fits into what is talked about in the film, yet there's the feeling that there's nothing really important for it to be involved much in the film. This is really all that's wrong with this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

abominablebro Much better than the usual Syfy originals. I thought this wasn't very bad at all actually. A little bit of rough acting, but mostly very well performed. The plot was much more interesting that the regular as well. Not really a scary movie, but that wasn't the goal of the film anyway. I also really liked the scenes where Michael and Serena find out why they are on the ship. This movie is definitely worth a watch for those interested in the paranormal-type of films. The ending was also well performed and very satisfying. The idea of a test to decide whether you will be processed or returned is awesome. Believable characters and excellent story make for a pretty cool movie that I could watch again and again.

julian kennedy Ghost Voyage: 5 out of 10: This is a SyFy Channel movie so I am grading on a curve here. Ghost voyage starts of a bit slow but quickly builds to a surprisingly suspenseful ending.The movies plot is a little like the superior Ghost Ship. A bunch of strangers wakes up on an abandoned cargo ship with no idea where they are. A creepy and ghostly Steward gives them the rules and then fades into the background. Like some aquatic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the guests break the rules and meet various fates.Ghost Voyage overall is straightforward with okay CGI and limited gore. Director James Oxford however squeezes some decent performances and a surprising amount of tension out of the otherwise by the numbers script.The movies other strength is its eye-candy. For the ladies there is a former Calvin Klein Model (Antonio Sabato Jr.) for the gentlemen there is a troika of beauties.Lead actress Deanna Russo and ghost girl Zhasmina Toskova certainly entertain enough but my money is on Julian Berlin as the blond, husband stealing flapper. Despite a lack of nudity the ladies certainly help hold a viewers interest during a slow first half.Overall Ghost Voyage gets better as it moves along, and is entertaining enough diversion for those interested in the genre.

tom_jeffords Ghost Voyage starts with a group of strangers awakening to find them selves stuck on a ship in the middle of the ocean with no idea where they are and how they got there. A mysterious figure known only as the Steward gives them a set of guidelines on how to behave and then disappears. Naturally in best horror film fashion they start wandering around the ship and the fun begins. The SciFi Channel is well known for making unbelievably bad movies. Ghost Voyage is one step above as it is believable that someone could make a movie this bad. Why is the question. The premise has potential. The forgotten classic Outward Bound was probably an inspiration for this dreck. I assume the people at the SciFi Channel who are in charge of lousy movies came across Outward Bound and decided to remake it as a slasher movie with. Really at this point it's clear that the SciFi Channel isn't even trying. I don't know how their economics work but garbage like this is not going to bring in viewers or advertisers. They could have done a faithful remake or even rerun Outward Bound and done better. Would have cost less (even lousy CGI cost money) and gotten better ratings.
