Richard Kuipers Variety Plot and character rarely rise above functional, but the screenplay does have some intriguing psychosexual undercurrents, and [director Chris] Graham produces enough vigorous action to leave genre buffs satisfied, if not ecstatic. Oct 16, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Rima K Worst movie I've ever watched in my life. The plot and acting sucked! How is this film called horror when it's not even scary? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review dave j Passengers going on a boating trip to Fiji only to cross paths with a possessed knife forcing unsuspecting passengers to kill each other at will. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A horrifying experience, not because it was scary but because it was really bad. I hate the acting, I hate the script, I hate the casting. There's nothing enjoyable about this film. The scariest part was the animal cruelty I think. Please stop trying to make good New Zealand films happen, it's not gonna happen. This is just utterly embarrassing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a terrible movie. I thought Ghost Ship was pretty bad, but this was just unbearable. It has already been wiped from my mind it was that bad. I can enjoy B grade movies, but this wasn't even close to B grade. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The mood and look are about right, and the make-up works, but the plot is a little thin, it only really comes together at the end, before that it's all about the psychology of relationships with plenty of blood thrown in. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Kinda boring and not really scary. Some parts are a little scary, but not intense. It's not really bloody, either. I saw it on the SyFy channel, so I should have known better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
