Years later and I FINALLY understand the villains motivation. See, the reason he's in the soul business is so he can save up for that car he loves however the soul collecting business never pays well so even now he's trying to save up.
He's an idiot then. Not cashing in the souls and hoping the value of the car will drop didn't work in his favour seeing as he wanted a rolls. He should have chosen a ford Escort.
Agreed, it was a great concept, but they ruined it with that botched slicing of the guys head when all the others were abdominal. It's funny, because they all could have been sliced like the old guy and it would have been just as brutal and would have created continuity.
During the scene where the people on the boat that were sliced by the wire, the song that originally played was the Gonk from the original Dawn of the Dead. I only bring it up because the song that Phelous replaced it with made this scene even funnier than it already was.
Phelan Porteous That explains a lot. I rewatched a few of your videos today, and I wondered "Where did the Phelous impromptu acapella version come from?"
I worked for a "souls taking" company back in 2011...was fired my first week because I didn't collect enough souls for management. They are strick about their soul taking...bastards
@@JohnSmith-eo5sp Wow, its as if entertainment industry as a whole (gaming included, remember nintendo and their lobbying making Japan's laws corrupt) never has been the scummiest ever...
It's not though. It's more like the Italian move *Death Ship,* about a cargo ship haunted by Nazi ghosts that makes a cruise liner captain go insane and murder his passengers.
Theres a 1980 movie called "Death Ship" which has a similar kind of premise, but in that movie a mysterious ship sinks a cruise liner and the remaining passengers board the vessel, but soon find out theyre on a kind of ship based concentration camp with nazis haunting the ship. The movies pretty bad but watching this review it seems kind of funny how this movie has a kind of similar premise
Now all we need is for a couple of insensitive bootleggers to make a tie in Ghost Ship Transformer figure. In Ghost Ship mode it can float, when it becomes Ghost Ship Bot the wire comes out and becomes a whip which it will wield into battle slicing autobots in half.
I found this movie really interesting, actually. The whole idea of the guy luring people to try to get the gold, and taking them out one by one using his ghost minions as well as himself was kind of interesting, at least the way they did it. I especially loved the back story, how it kept going form slow mo to regular. I dunno, I like it. I thought it was neat. Ah well.
So this was about a boat that had an accident in the 1960s and discovered in 2002. How did no one pick up on it or even see it for 40 odd years? You think with radar, submarines, and navies, they'd be sunk to the bottom of the ocean?
I think it was implied that the ship kinda shifted in and out of existence or something along those lines. Like it was only found when the soul collector guy wanted it to be found. Of course that doesn't explain why he'd wait for so long to draw more people to it, so he could fullfil his quota, but whatever. What does puzzle me is that the salvage crew seemingly thinks they can just claim a derelict ship that went missing less than 50 years ago, and not expect the authorities in the country the ship was registered (think it was Italy) to you know; want to conduct an investigation into what happened to the passengers and crew. To my knowledge missing person and (potential) murder cases don't have an expiration date, and since it's less than 50 years ago the ship went missing there are probably still relatives of the crew and passengers, who'd very much like to know what happened to their loved ones. Just looked it up and salvage rights seem to not work exactly like they claim it does in the movie. In real life it's less legal piracy and more finders fee based. Basically if a ship offers help to another ship who experience some trouble (as in the kind of emergency that doesn't involve human lives being in danger, different rules for that), it's considered common courtesy according to international maritime law to offer some kind of compensation to the crew of the ship that helped you. Salvaging of sunk or derelict ships, like what the salvage crew in Ghost Ship is doing, seems to mostly be people, who were hired to recover ships and/or their cargo for the owners of said vessel and/or cargo.
The movie implies that the ship more or less disappeared from our plane of existence. Also, it likely wouldn't have been sunk if spotted - navies are usually capable of identifying ship models from 40+ years out of date. More likely, if spotted, it would have been towed in to harbour and turned into a museum exhibit.
Yes, there is no possible way the ship could have remained afloat unmanned for 40 years, let alone gone from the Atlantic to the Pacific (Did it pass through the Panama Canal? Drift around Cape Horn without sinking in the violent storms that area is infamous for?). Ships take on water all the time and it constantly has to be pumped out. In a matter of a month or so it would have either sunk or run aground somewhere. Of course, we eventually find out the ship was being kept afloat by magic, but the salvage crew don't know that, and yet not one of them ever comments on the total impossibility of the ship still being afloat and being where it is, because they're all written as idiots.
I saw this movie in the theatre at a midnight showing. People in the audience kept making comments & cracking one liners. Truly it was a great time and a riot to laugh at with others.
14:56 That is the power of the Jag! Even ghosts who are planning to kill everyone have to stop and wonder such great achievement of British engineering and design!
Jeffrey314159 if we're talking Bf-109 E VS Spitfire Mk.I, or Fw-190 A and Bf-109 F VS Spitfire Mk.V, sure. But as much as it hurts my wehraboo heart to say this, the Spitfire was a more flexible and lasting design, that was used by Great Britain, the United States of America, the Soviet Union, France, Australia, Burma, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. And that's omitting the pilots in exile who operated them. Also, Britain is overrated? Please clarify.
The story lines twist was they were actually already dead and had been re(living?) the same moments for quite some time and the drown victims were them so yeah... Still wouldve been weak as hell.
everytime he said "they're the best" i couldnt help be think of the robot chicken episode that had toad as a getaway driver and he kept saying stuff like "i'm the best"
Did you ever wonder what 'The Shining' would be like if the setting were a ship instead of a luxury hotel? No? Well they made a movie like that anyways...
Oh my god, the scene where the people on the boat get bisected is freaking awesome. Especially 'cause they stand there for a moment and then fall apart like in those samurai movies- I have a strange urge to throw an "OMAE WA MO SHINDEIRU" in there. XD
I remember seeing this movie when I stayed up late at my cousins and was shocked to see a young Emily Browning and Judge Karl Urban Dredd in the film,best part of the film for me was the song at the end :-)
You know, I've seen this video multiple times, and I've seen the movie more than once, and yet every single time I completely forget everything about Ghost Ship apart from the opening scene and the fact that Karl Urban and Juliana Margulies are in it. Truly an unforgettable classic.
You know what I don't get that comes up in a lot of 'ghost' stories, why is there always ONE good ghost? Why are all of the others turned into evil killers? They're all trapped by the business man of Hell, wouldn't more of them beg for help or try to go after him? Or get the others to go after him and not anyone else? It would be cool, maybe not showing why all of the unknowing people are going nuts and it makes you feel bad for the villain until you realized he was a villain. That would be a lot more interesting to see! Too many illogical cliches
I know this comment is super old but none of the ghosts can go after/against the guy because he is a demon. Plus it is not that she is the only good person but that the girl is the only one he can't control because her corpse was hidden away so he never managed to give it his mark before it rotted away. Or at least that's how I recall the movie going.
I'll still remember this movie for introducing the "They're the best!" running joke to the reviews, the ridiculous wire thing, and of course, Soul Businessman. I actually wonder if he's supposed to have a Grim Reaper-type role, but of course the movie's too stupid and vague about it.
I honestly remember this movie quite fondly. It holds a special place in my heart next to Sixth Sense and Poltergeist as the first 3 Horror movies I ever watched.
CGI was probably a considerable factor in the death of modern horror movies. I mean sure there's shitty writing, acting and tropes, but CGI definitely kills any films that do stumble on anything resembling an "atmosphere".
Shame, a haunted ship would've been an interesting location instead of the cliche: mansion, hospital, hotel, insane asylum, orphanage, ancient Indian burial ground, etc etc.
they don't really taste that bad, they kinda taste like peanuts. i only know that because i had a little condiment thing of peanuts and i didn't notice them until halfway through eating them
best part about this movie? obviously in that movie-verse gold weighs next to nothing, or otherwise they would ve needed all off their strength combined to even move one of the gold boxes. cracks me up every time i watch this movie ^^
I know it has been years, but it looks like nobody have mentioned the reason for the classic car in the ship. The ocean liner in this movie is losely based on the Andrea Doria, which was carrying a famous concept car called The Norseman when it sank. It was the only one in existence and would be worth a fortune nowadays. Unfortunately divers report it has rusted away and only the tires remain.
The best part that isn't about the movie in this video...is watching Phelan dance for about 8 seconds. Beautiful...So You Think You Can Dance ain't got nothing on this guy.
This movie is what happens when The Shining fucks Virus. Also, I love Not Falling by Mudvayne. When my dad got it on VHS, I would play the ending over and over until I got it on CD
I love that film! It's amazing! One of my most favourites. So unique! It's gorey and violent in a good way. And the writing is really well done. It ties in properly. No loose ends. He lures in people with the gold by going on a ship. Claims their souls. And once he's got enough, he sends them off to his managers. He uses the ghosts as his minions till they're sent off. The horrific intro is amazing. And truely haunting. It's got a lot of good gore effects. And doesn't shy away from it. The little girl is very likeable and nice. That is a horrific way to die. Surrounded by possessed lunatics.
*Cool Story Bro Moment* : I saw this movie before my mom did and I told her about it and when she finally saw it she took one look at the opening title card with the pretty pink letters and elevator music and she said " Um Generic (my actual first name is Generic) this doesn't look like a horror movie". Little did she know she was so right. Wasn't a single bit of horror in this just pointlessness, kinda like the title card
Damnit, Phelous, I can't believe how consistently funny you are and have been. XD I can't remember if you still do the sound effects thing, but they just slay me every time. And, yeah, the ending jingle ("Auugh!") always makes me want to go rewatch the Mortal Kombat Conquest review series. That was good stuff, too.
Well, I put off Phelous tearing up the movie that made me go "Wow! I'm not scared of horror movies anywhere!" long enough. The one that took the turn where I'm now fascinated by them. Really, minus the twist, still love it. It got the job done better than most horror at the time.
Imagine how much that box of gold must weigh. Gold is fucking heavy, dude; unless they have the man power or technology to lift... a good 600 pounds of gold plus the weight of the wooden box, I don't think they're taking that thing very far.
@@Gambit771 For a while Fort Box had a bar on display. If you could carry with one hand you could keep it. It was never claimed. That's an idea of how much a single bar weighs. She is holding a prop. That said, they could still move them one at a time. It would just take a while.
So why even show the people falling apart? The implication would be cheaper, it was unnecessary, and it would explain the girl being dead. Here she dehydrated or starved I think.
She got hanged by an officer after the poolside massacre. The reason she didn't die in the deck slicing was so that she could witness the mass poisoning and ballroom shootout.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy She should def have died on the dance floor, bullshit she was too small for the wire to fling over her head. Maybe the wire jumped up and down a bit but then everybody should be cut diagonally, not horizontally (also then why is the captain the only one sliced through the head, while the others through the torso?) The idea for this opening scene is great and I do like it but it should have been polished a bit more (make the girl drop something, and while she bows down to pick it up the wire gets loose. Would made more sense.
@@MissFlow The point (as poorly communicated as it was) was that the captain bent down and held her to the floor, hence why she was fine and he was cut way higher up than everybody else. It was apparently a lot easier to tell that was what happened when they shot it, but the terrible editing makes it harder to see.
The closed captions on this video are perfect, "unfitting, yet funky, hip-hop beat'. Lol. The opening scene really is the best part of this film. Well, that, and Phelous reviewing it.
Even if the captain crouched to protect her, how was he able to stand up with his brain separated from his spine? Hell why not just hit the deck and keep himself alive too?
El Ochentero Phelous pretty much says how in the end of the review, most of the actors signed up to a better plot and it was changed. By that point they can't back out
This entire movie is kind of like a shitty version of Dead Money from Fallout New Vegas, but on a ship. Everyone dies together during a nice prom dance scene while dressed in fancy outfits, with a pretty singer. There's gold bars for some reason, ghost people (although in Dead Money they were not exactly ghosts, and were more terrifying than these awful ones), traps, people fighting over gold and people dying. Only that in Dead Money it was done much better and was actually pretty creepy and disturbing, this is just dumb. Also where the fuck did the whole "soul collector" bullshit came from??
Dead money was pretty good, I'll give you that, but the only good thing that goat shit did was that it didn't put in speakers and radios that were hidden in places that caused you to look around like an idiot,run back to a safe place to not die, then go back to do the same thing. ghost shop is still pretty shitty tho, except for that one thing in the opening
Raidou Kuzunoha Pfft "Goat Shit", perfect name for this awful movie. True, the speakings were a fucking PAIN to deal with, but I did enjoy the DLC as a whole despite of it.
@@lionofthebluevale7170 lmfao. He should've said it was a rip off of an older movie called "Death Ship" but well I guess he went too much with Fallout.
I know it's a B movies, but I've always enjoyed it. Granted, I love horror movies and I love ships and the open water. So me enjoying it was gonna be a given. It's still just a fun, silly movie.
For the subtitles guy. The singer dosen't speck french, but Italian... also, the second part where she talk, it's actually a clip from Dexter "Sorry for the tits"
The crew openly kills everyone all over the ship during the mass murder scene, but then takes the girl into a cabin room and shuts the door behind them... eesh. Very upsetting implication.

@@Gambit771 You don't speak ill of Ford EcoSports.
@@briana8088 I should apologise.
@Gambit771 Me too. I thought, you put down Ford EcoSport. It was just Ford Escort.
@@Gambit771 still better than saving for chinese EVs
All jokes aside, that scene at the beginning was pretty hardcore.
Agreed, it was a great concept, but they ruined it with that botched slicing of the guys head when all the others were abdominal. It's funny, because they all could have been sliced like the old guy and it would have been just as brutal and would have created continuity.
Yea I first watched this when I was six it actually traumatised me I still can't watch the film without feeling sick
it doesn't really bother me.
Also the girl died anyway, so why not make her not suffer and die of starvation and dehydration and just cut her in half already?
Yep, still disturbing, but a little bit. Just enough that it sticks in your mind.
During the scene where the people on the boat that were sliced by the wire, the song that originally played was the Gonk from the original Dawn of the Dead. I only bring it up because the song that Phelous replaced it with made this scene even funnier than it already was.
Robo - Nidai Thanks. Yeah, it turns out The Gonk isn't youtube friendly so places I used it before had to get changed up.
Phelan Porteous That explains a lot. I rewatched a few of your videos today, and I wondered "Where did the Phelous impromptu acapella version come from?"
Yooo g please review "people under the stairs"
I would've used the jazzy music of the end credits of "The Evil Dead" or even "Spanish Flea" as a replacement, but this works fine lol
Please do people under the stairs gee
That first scene is silly now, but when I saw it over a decade ago it made me afraid of being around tension wires for years afterward...

No lie, Phelous actually has a very convincing on-cue laugh.
This was one of the first horror movies I ever watched as a kid.
+RolyaRain One of my firsts was the shining.
Mine was the original Psycho. I thought it wouldn’t be scary because it was black and white (aka old and safe in my mind).
Took me a while to notice it was The Shining on a boat.
I wasn't a smart kid, lol.
He was talking about THIS movie. Don't be rude.
Well, this reviewer said it looked more like an Event Horizon Rip-off. ua-cam.com/video/pOX7nDldJcc/v-deo.html
Kinda, there is no psychic in this movie though.
It's not though. It's more like the Italian move *Death Ship,* about a cargo ship haunted by Nazi ghosts that makes a cruise liner captain go insane and murder his passengers.
I think you were smarter as a kid. It’s nothing like the shining.
I actually kind of like this movie. It's not remotely scary or even particularly creepy, but some of the set pieces and ideas are fairly interesting.
Theres a 1980 movie called "Death Ship" which has a similar kind of premise, but in that movie a mysterious ship sinks a cruise liner and the remaining passengers board the vessel, but soon find out theyre on a kind of ship based concentration camp with nazis haunting the ship.

The art direction is top notch, and the ship model is superb. The Boat is pretty much the Andria Doria.
I guess you could call this beginning....A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS! -laughs uncontrollably-
LaDracul Go home now
Beginning of.
Gosh that works TOO well 🤣
Oh because Emily Browning who plays Katie was in the movie A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Now all we need is for a couple of insensitive bootleggers to make a tie in Ghost Ship Transformer figure. In Ghost Ship mode it can float, when it becomes Ghost Ship Bot the wire comes out and becomes a whip which it will wield into battle slicing autobots in half.

So this was about a boat that had an accident in the 1960s and discovered in 2002. How did no one pick up on it or even see it for 40 odd years? You think with radar, submarines, and navies, they'd be sunk to the bottom of the ocean?

And, yeah, the ending jingle ("Auugh!") always makes me want to go rewatch the Mortal Kombat Conquest review series. That was good stuff, too.
The cartoon sound effects are one of his strongest bits.
@@rrpostalagain it certainly helps a bit to handle the first scenes
I feel old, the little girl was in Sucker Punch and American Gods.
I thought she looked familiar.
I'm 30 and she's a bit older than I am.
This guy is ridiculous! Can't get enough.
I love the added sound effects at the beginning lol great job
in all realism soul business doesn't pay well. y'know the grim reapers cloak? it was white when he first bought it
Couldn't they have just had the girl loose her footing to dodge the wire?
Jesus Christ the ghost ship in wind waker is scarier then this
The ghosts in Scooby-Doo are scarier than this movie...
+Amy Lady the ghosts in fuckin ocarina of time are scarier than this shit
+Raidou Kuzunoha
The freaking Dead Hand. .__.
Maybe to neckbeards
Well, I put off Phelous tearing up the movie that made me go "Wow! I'm not scared of horror movies anywhere!" long enough. The one that took the turn where I'm now fascinated by them. Really, minus the twist, still love it. It got the job done better than most horror at the time.
Imagine how much that box of gold must weigh. Gold is fucking heavy, dude; unless they have the man power or technology to lift... a good 600 pounds of gold plus the weight of the wooden box, I don't think they're taking that thing very far.
They could take the bars one by one.
I remember the woman picking one up to show the rest.
@@Gambit771 For a while Fort Box had a bar on display. If you could carry with one hand you could keep it. It was never claimed. That's an idea of how much a single bar weighs. She is holding a prop.
That said, they could still move them one at a time. It would just take a while.
I agree the beginning of the movie is actually really good
lol that metal gear skit was priceless. 😆 Well done. Awesome review, Phelous ✨✨😁
missed opportunity for a "you're eating maggots, micheal" joke lol.
The scene at the beginning where everyone got sliced, you just triggered a Vietnam flashback from when I was younger.
So why even show the people falling apart? The implication would be cheaper, it was unnecessary, and it would explain the girl being dead. Here she dehydrated or starved I think.
She got hanged by an officer after the poolside massacre. The reason she didn't die in the deck slicing was so that she could witness the mass poisoning and ballroom shootout.
@@DistractedGlobeGuy She should def have died on the dance floor, bullshit she was too small for the wire to fling over her head.
Maybe the wire jumped up and down a bit but then everybody should be cut diagonally, not horizontally (also then why is the captain the only one sliced through the head, while the others through the torso?) The idea for this opening scene is great and I do like it but it should have been polished a bit more (make the girl drop something, and while she bows down to pick it up the wire gets loose. Would made more sense.
@@MissFlow The point (as poorly communicated as it was) was that the captain bent down and held her to the floor, hence why she was fine and he was cut way higher up than everybody else. It was apparently a lot easier to tell that was what happened when they shot it, but the terrible editing makes it harder to see.
Phelous was ahead of his time
I love this movie. I'm ashamed to admit it. But this is my favorite horror flick. The ship is basically the Andria Doria.
Damn that wire slice scene seemed pretty stupid.
This is actually my favorite horror movie
7:59-8:13 What would make a good parody if that scene.
One of them just shrugs and continues eating.
The closed captions on this video are perfect, "unfitting, yet funky, hip-hop beat'. Lol.
The opening scene really is the best part of this film. Well, that, and Phelous reviewing it.
Brian Cox was supposedly offered the role of Murphy (Gabriel Byrne's character) for this film, but turned it down to do The Ring.
Good for him.
first scene... nope! im done! im out!, it was fun while it lasted!
Same here 2 years in the future!
Adorable
Even if the captain crouched to protect her, how was he able to stand up with his brain separated from his spine? Hell why not just hit the deck and keep himself alive too?
I agree that beginning choppy choppy was by far the best part.
Drinking game: take a sip when Phelous says "they're the best!"
The movie's soundtrack is amazing.
Someone call Mythbusters to prove that"wire can cut as many people on board" theory.
I'm pretty sure there actually was an episode where they did that scene.
I like you putting sound effects on the rope cutting people :D
Ah Ghost Ship. The movie I think is so bad the movie scene in the beginning belongs in another movie that deserves a sequence so well-executed.
And she dies ... of hypothermia, clinging to a piece of wreckage, soaking wet, in the middle of the Bering Strait. The end.
I hate the cartoon sound effects everytime they come on I get caught off guard and bust out laughing
Everybody knows that "Soultaker" with Joe Estevez is the far superior soul businessman movie.
This is my favorite opening scene in any film. I wonder if they yelled “CUT” at the end? Someone should axe them. 😆🪓❤️
how the hell did they get Gabriel Byrne and Juliana Marguiles to work in this movie?
El Ochentero Phelous pretty much says how in the end of the review, most of the actors signed up to a better plot and it was changed. By that point they can't back out
They threatened them at gun point.
That's the only way I'd have signed up 😂
6:36 Game Over 😂😂 Just Y 😂😂😂😆😅
This entire movie is kind of like a shitty version of Dead Money from Fallout New Vegas, but on a ship. Everyone dies together during a nice prom dance scene while dressed in fancy outfits, with a pretty singer. There's gold bars for some reason, ghost people (although in Dead Money they were not exactly ghosts, and were more terrifying than these awful ones), traps, people fighting over gold and people dying. Only that in Dead Money it was done much better and was actually pretty creepy and disturbing, this is just dumb.
Also where the fuck did the whole "soul collector" bullshit came from??
Nice :)
Dead money was pretty good, I'll give you that, but the only good thing that goat shit did was that it didn't put in speakers and radios that were hidden in places that caused you to look around like an idiot,run back to a safe place to not die, then go back to do the same thing. ghost shop is still pretty shitty tho, except for that one thing in the opening
Raidou Kuzunoha Pfft "Goat Shit", perfect name for this awful movie.
True, the speakings were a fucking PAIN to deal with, but I did enjoy the DLC as a whole despite of it.
So what you are saying is not only do Bethesda not make good falout games, but Obsidian rips off horror movies for their dlcs.
@@lionofthebluevale7170 lmfao. He should've said it was a rip off of an older movie called "Death Ship" but well I guess he went too much with Fallout.
The sped up Lonely Island works even better!
Am I the only one scared of Phelous Shoving his face on the ship?
XD Nice idea putting in all the cartoony sound FX.
MrXemnas1992 Yeah, it's kind of a thing Phelous likes to do as a running gag, along with inappropriate music and "I've got a shotgun!"
randomly watched ghost ship tonight so naturally, had to come watch this too
It was secretly the power of an enemy stand.
+Marcus Zyker
And you're the second cancerous Jojo fan I've seen here. Take your memes somewhere relevant.
Marcus Zyker Overused joke.
This was a solid movie and still one of my favourites.
I swear I’m like the one person who genuinely likes this film lol
If someone want do it, can change the subtitle at 8:36?she talk italian not frech
I actually really like this movie.
I know it's a B movies, but I've always enjoyed it. Granted, I love horror movies and I love ships and the open water. So me enjoying it was gonna be a given. It's still just a fun, silly movie.
For the subtitles guy. The singer dosen't speck french, but Italian... also, the second part where she talk, it's actually a clip from Dexter "Sorry for the tits"
I love this movie
smells like Death Ship (1980 )
we should put both in a jar, give it a little shake, let em fight to the death.
how do you mean? like on toast?
Really the only close similarity is the poster design.
Ok then....this is the definition of plot holes saying "shhh it's not important just go with it."
Awww, I actually kinda love this dumb movie. It has a very old school vibe that I just can't hate.
The crew openly kills everyone all over the ship during the mass murder scene, but then takes the girl into a cabin room and shuts the door behind them... eesh. Very upsetting implication.
Like how is a little girl going to be such a threat? Unnecessary death
@@JizzyF83 Exactly. She wasn't a threat. They took pleasure in killing her.
If Phelous reviews another movie with Karl Urban, he might call him *Judge* McCoyommer.
SpeedyEric1 I really should have just called him Cupid.
Phelan Porteous "Good ooooone!"
