This might be what you call your typical horror and suspense movie that is just done so well that you cannot help but be entertained and frightened by it. The movie follows all the rules of your standard haunted house flick except one it takes place on a boat adding a new twist to stories told time and time again. The movie can be quite gory at times and may even go over the top a little in efforts to sicken out its audiences but it is the suspense of the movie that gets you. The movie just has that eerie feeling that makes these type of movies so wonderful and makes you want to hide your eyes while at the same time being entranced to the screen. You will feel chills run up your spine and even though you know it not to be real you will still jump and be frightened by this very well made horror movie. The ending tries to go with a little bit of a surprise but I think the movie had already succeeded by this time and it was a pointless venture. This is the type of movie you rent late at night and climb under a blanket and enjoy a very good thriller as you scare yourself to sleep.
