A Few Words About A few words about...™ Ghost Ship (2002) Redux -- in Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[Robert Harris]

I don't recall if I reviewed Steve Beck's 2002 Ghost Ship here, but I thought it was a fun ride with some terrific effects, short of the WB logo, which is apparently derived from an original Edison cylinder.

Scream Factory, has (bravely) licensed and re-issued the film on Blu-ray, with the same transfer as the 2009 Warner disc, plus a few new extras.

The original seems to be out of print, and going for the same price as the Scream release, so they may have a leg up there.

I'd love to see them put out the 1942 Lewton film

Image – 5

Audio – 5 (DTS-HD MA 5.1)

Pass / Fail - Pass

Upgrade from earlier blu-ray - only for the extras (unless you don't have the initial release)

Recommended.

Definitely the most underrated of the Lewton RKOs. I would love to see all the missing titles on Blu-ray, of course, but that is one probably would be near the bottom of too many people's lists. But it's a wonderfully atmospheric film.
