In the early twentieth century, shipping lines competed to be the fastest to complete a transatlantic crossing. But among the most famous record-holders was the RMS Queen Mary, which held the record for fourteen years, but now stands encased in concrete at Long Beach, California, where it has been used for many years as a luxury hotel and tourist attraction. The ship has a lengthy history of visitors reporting seeing ghosts and visions in its rooms and on its decks, making it the perfect setting for paranormal goings-on on the big screen. In The Queen Mary, a haunting story is unraveled between the ship's heyday in the late 1930s and the present and tells the story of two families whose lives become violently entangled.

There’s some real dramatic heft at play here – but the bloated running time drags it down, and lots of spooky business in the back half might have been better jettisoned overboard to gain speed.

Rated: 2/5

Cinemanía (Spain)

An elegant way to exploit the legend of a ship reduced to a fairground attraction.

I enjoyed how DIFFERENT “Haunting of the Queen Mary” is, despite its flaws; the best I can say is that it's not generic, and that they should give more opportunities to both Alice Eve as a protagonist, and Gary Shore as a director. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 3.5/5

La Nación (Argentina)

Although it is far from being a genre masterpiece, Haunting of the Queen Mary comfortably meets the challenge of offering a simple but well-made movie. [Full review in Spanish]

…Gary Shore’s well-upholstered film is more ghost story than horror, with twin narrative time-lines offering up something a little deeper than the usual jump-scares associated with the genre…

Rated: 4/5

This supernatural voyage, although atmospheric and frequently frightful, runs aground narratively.

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Totally confusing, they mess up characters names, and worst of all nothing is explained and nothing makes sense or connects at all. So many plots and none of them are answered. Horrendous, do not watch this crapfest

Cumplidora. La trama es simple pero esta buena, el tema es que por momentos esta mal narrada y se complica porque a veces te marea de forma innecesaria. Tiene un par de buenos giros que la levantan otra vez cuando parece que esta por caer. Se nota la falta de presupuesto, no tanto para arruinarla pero es evidente. Las 2 horas de duración son excesivas, podría haber funcionado igual con quince minutos o media hora menos.

Worse movie ever. I've never rated a movie before and just created an account with Rotten Tomatoes to say this is the worse movie. Ever. Bad writing. Bad director. What was the producers thinking? Watch at your own risk.

The Fred Astaire sequence is the only highlight amid the utterly muddled screenplay that still hooks with ideally slippery tension, possibly functioning as a video guide with an unsatisfactory narrative to hype the docked myths. (C)

Here's the only part of this movie that was even remotely believable: Fred Astaire was absolutely the kind of guy who would take time out of his holiday dinner to be kind and supportive to some random little kid. Everything else was a disjointed and confusing mess. I didn't understand one minute of it, but found myself not caring enough to try and find out. You can skip it. Go watch one of the many very good documentaries about the real Queen Mary instead.
