Stu, Tommy, and Gus decide to celebrate their new business venture with an exotic vacation to Bermuda. It's the perfect getaway until Stu begins to obsess about the Queen of Scots, a ship lost 50 years ago to the Bermuda Triangle. Determined that the lost ship is out there, filled with the former occupants' riches, Stu charters a boat with a desperate captain and his beautiful first mate, Charlie. When their boat hits a dense fog they become lost and panicked until they see something slowly creeping through the curtain of fog, it's the Queen of Scots. After boarding the ship they discover that something happened to the passengers, something horrible, and it's starting to happen to them. Now they're trapped in a ghost ship, in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, and there's no way out! Written by Anonymous
The film concerns about a friends group(Luke Perry,Dan Cortese,David Hewlett) undergoing their annual journey ,they're going fishing.Luke Perry also brings his fiancée,Polly Shannon.They're suffering money problems and hire an old yacht from Dorian Harewood and Olivia Dábo.The small boat crew enter into a thick flog and after encounter themselves the HMS Queen of Scots,a passenger luxury liner ,disappeared in 1939 at a remote region of the Bermudas triangle,nowadays is floating drift.The mysterious vessel is lost at sea for more than 50 years.But one time aboard the cavernous,eerie ship, the group encounter that the decaying Oceaner liner is anything but deserted.When a series of bizarre occurrences happen and the crew becomes trapped inside the luxury cruise ,they soon learn is inhabited by haunting previous crew.
The picture contains,scary suspense, terror,tension and is quite entertaining.Deserted ship is portrayed as a complete riddle with screams and grisly horrifying.The movie paid attention to building up a terrifying atmosphere instead of violent and stabbing killing spree.The action takes place into a rusty ship wreck though exteriorly is made by computer generator,as usual.The argument isn't original but it's being gradually revealed with nutty enchantment ,a ¨The shinning(Kubrick)¨ style and it attracts viewer's attention.The picture is starred by usual television actors,making a fine performances: Luke Perry(Beverly Hills),Dan Cortese(Melroe Place),David Hewlett(Stargate Atlantis),Polly Shannon(Femme Nikita),Olivia DÁbo(Wonderful years),Dorian Harewood(China beach).If you're enthusiastic of the mystery tales and B films,so you'll encounter this picture to be agreeable.If your interest lies on a more cerebral terror movie,then I highly recommend you skip this one.This TV movie is rightly directed by Lewis Teague, during the 8os,he was a successful director(Jewel of Nile,Cujo Alligator),but nowadays he only makes television series(Nash Bridges,Dukes of Hazzard:the reunion,OP center).The high box-office ¨Ghost Ship¨(2002 by Steve Beck with Gabriel Byrne and Julianna Margules)rips off images and scenes of this television movie.The film is recommended for all horror lovers which will find many nice eerie shots though not very logical but still their appetite for gruesome scenes will be satisfied.
