Ghost Ship centres on a salvage crew captained by Murphy (Gabriel Byrne). A man named "Ferriman" talks them into a salvage mission in the Bearing Sea, with the promise of a big payoff and leads them to the "Antonia Graza", an infamous Ocean liner which disappeared in the 1960´s. The ship is deserted, but it is not long before one of the crew members spots the obligatory ghostly child. Unfortunately, despite the promising opening, this film just isn´t scary. The first scene is brilliant, but the rest of the film never hits that peak again.
