Ghost Ship

                                                                

 

     Wanna hear something funnier? We just found a bunch of dead guys

                 floating in the laundry room.

 

The film is set initially in the past...... on an Italian ocean liner named the Antonia Graza in the early '60s where about fifty people are enjoying a formal gathering in a luxurious ball room while people dance on the deck. An attractive Italian woman, Francesca, sings soothingly as people are happily dancing to her beautiful voice. Then, in an outer room a gloved hand pulls a switch that unravels a very thin wire cord from a hidden spool. The cord is aligned across the side of the deck. The dancers continue, completely oblivious to the existence of the cord. Suddenly, the spool holding the wire snaps and the wire slices across the deck like a blade. The people stand still, most likely in shock, as we see the floor covered in blood. The dancers show looks of fear and shock on their faces. Flowers and glasses that some of the victims are holding fall in half and slowly the dancers come apart as well. Numerous dancers remain alive for several seconds, finally grasping that they have been literally sliced in half.

Afterward, we see the sole survivor, Katie. She was a young girl who was dancing with the Captain and was not tall enough to be struck by the wire. When seeing the fate of the other dancers, she looks up at the captain as he looks back at her with sorrow.

In the present a small team of salvage specialists are in a bar, Jack Ferriman, a pilot, approaches them and says he has spotted a mysterious vessel running adrift in the Bering sea. Because the ship is in international waters, it can be claimed by whomever is able to bring it to a port. The crew soon set out on the Arctic Warrior, a small tugboat. While exploring the abandoned ship, they discover that it is the Antonia Graza, a luxury liner that disappeared in May 1962 and was believed to be lost at sea.  When they board the ship and prepare to tow it to shore, strange things begin to happen. Maureen Epps claims to have seen a little girl on the stairwell while trying to save a crewmate from falling through the floor. Greer claims to have heard the singing of an unseen songstress in various places on the ship. The crew decide to leave the ship but take the large quantity of gold that they find on board....but their tugboat explodes and the crew are left on board.....

As they decide to attempt to fix the Antonia Graza and sail it back to land, people start to die....souls are trapped on the ship.......will any of the crew survive???? and exactly who, or what is Ferriman.......
