Why people love it

People revisit Ghost Ship for the same reason it broke through in 2002: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a mystery rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Steve Beck keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The horror and mystery blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
