Worst movie i watched this quarter, 24 June 2006
Author:
tasteofclarity from Canada
I checked this movie out when it still had 6 votes and it said like 7.2 or something, but seriously this is a horrible movie. Lets break it down. The first thing you notice about this movie is that it was filmed on a hand-held digital camera owned by a freshman at a community college. the next thing you'll notice is that the actors, are all friends of said freshman (he probably met them at the pub the night before. Third on the list you will notice that the musical editing is horrible, and they try to cram many songs into this movie, at 30 second intervals... also all digital editing is done on said freshman's home PC... probably using windows movie maker. This movie was horrible... pretentious, had an undeniably bad script, and acting that followed suit. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone I know, but I do sentence the writer and director to watch this movie in hell for an eternity.

A simply terrible waste of Film!, 17 June 2006
Author:
mscottmcconnell from Canada
This is easily one of the worst 5 movies I've ever seen. It's not scary or any of the other things suggested in the plot outline. This movie is agonizingly slow and I was bored for almost all 98 minutes. While the acting is mediocre at best, the biggest problem is the script, which is poorly written, slow and plodding with no real direction. Occasionally an eerie mood is set only to be broken by some useless line or event. I'm not surprised that the entire cast was sick and throwing up between shots, they did after all have to try and digest a terrible script. As a huge fan of good horror movies, I'm always irritated that something this bad gets made. Save yourself 98 minutes you'll never get back.

Be Serious!! before you watch read this!!, 17 June 2006
Author:
davidnoidus from United Kingdom
This film on paper looked like it could possibly be good, after watching though i realised that this film was completely terrible!! The plot has no meaning, and i think i counted the best part of 5000 cut scenes each one making the film more annoying boring and ridiculous. I watched this late night pitch black no noise at all just to add to the SCARINESS of it but the truth is the only thing that scared me was the music, what they would call tragic music, they play opera i mean be serious!! This film sums up all of what is not good about this type of film. To be honest ill say no more but watch at your own risk this film is just complete rubbish, ENJOY!!

Messy and Boring Amateurish Garbage, 8 April 2007
Author:
Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
When the young Kevin gets the boat of his dead uncle as a gift, he
invites five friends of him to a trip to Catalina Island for the
weekend. While in the journey, they drink booze, have sex and play
games, with each one of them telling his or her greatest fear. Later
Kevin drowns in the open sea, the engine stops, and they are haunted
and murdered by their greatest innermost fear.
Yesterday, my wife, son, daughter and three other friends joined to
watch "Haunted Boat" on DVD. With less than 30 minutes running time,
the group gave up watching this messy and boring amateurish piece of
crap, and we decided to see another film. Later, I decided to watch the
rest of this flick to see how bad it could be and it would have been
better off going to bed to sleep. The confused story has an awful
cinematography and camera work, with a cast that is probably studying
to be actors and actresses and in the end this film seems to be a bad
project of cinema school. The terrible and pretentious screenplay shows
a ridiculous twist in the end, actually a complete mess that made me
not understand what the story is all about. Was the girl insane and
traveled alone in the boat, imagining the whole situation with
imaginary friends? If that is true, are their friend again in the very
end fruit of her madness? My vote is one.
Title (Brazil): "Viagem Para a Morte" ("Trip to the Death")

What in the name of god was that???, 29 September 2006
Author:
Guy Nakash from Israel
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen. From the plot, though
the shots, the "special effects", the acting, and did I mentioned the
plot? Every single thing in it sucked ass!
This is a good example of what "over-doing" means and I'll try to
explain:
I understand what the creator of this movie was trying to do; this was
supposed to be one of those movies you can't really tell what the hell
is going on up until the end. You sit mesmerized, not knowing who's
dead and who's alive and who killed who and why and just when you think
you got the timeline right you find out you're wrong and the movie ends
- leaving you with an opened mouth for the next 5 minutes! Something
like "Unbreakable" or "The Job" if you know what I mean.
But Olga Levens, the writer of this junk, yes, Olga – The writer,
Director, Producer, Screenplay author, Caster, Production designer, Art
Director, Costume Designer and also a double for one of the characters
is some scenes... this is basically a one woman movie and when it comes
to Olga Levens from "Levens Productions" you can't go wrong :-)
Well this might come as a shocker but "this time" Olga over did this
big time, jumping from scene to scene, from dreams to reality... but
wait! this was all a dream after all... or was it??? The picture fades
and I realized none of this ever happened, the girl was all alone on
the ship... actually there was no ship... no wait! There's the ship
again, and the guys! They're alive! Thank god! No they're calling her
to join the cruise... but then the ship disappears so maybe they're
dead after all??? or maybe they never were alive to begin with???
If you understood what I just said you might like this movie -
otherwise it's a boring piece of work and the only reason I set through
this entire crap is to find out how the hell can they finish this
movie...
Don't watch this if you value time, ever 90 minutes are a waste in this
case...

I don't know how this movie found distribution., 23 July 2007
Author:
reeves2002 from Canada
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I watched this movie last night and hoped for the best after watching all the cool trailers.Even the cover of the DVD looked good.As soon as I started watching it I was thinking like others "oh my God whats this".There were some moments that were a bit creepy but then the mood was ruined by stupid music.There was rock and opera during what is supposed to be suspenseful scenes.That right there ruined it for me and i was shaking my head thinking damn I wasted money again on a rental and was deceived by the cover art.Nothing against the music itself,it was just in the wrong parts of the movie.Whoever edited the film has no clue what they are doing.The cover showed lightning, implying they were caught in a storm at sea.That would have been more interesting but it didn't happen. The acting wasn't the worst i've ever seen considering they are all unknown and this is obvious their first film.Another reason I was disappointed was the plot made no sense.In the beginning 2 men saw all of the teens get on a boat,then at the end supposedly only 1 girl existed and the others were either her imaginary friends or were ghosts i'm not sure because it was very badly portrayed. WhyteFox who wrote a comment on here claims this is a true story.He or she believes in ghosts and spirits and says there is a haunted boat in the area this movie was filmed.There was no mention in this movie about it being a true story.I have never experienced something like that personally but am not saying it's impossible.I guess if anyone is interested in renting this movie,do it at your own risk.If you like amateur student horror films you may like this.

Oh my!, 12 July 2006
Author:
taryn_3532 from United Kingdom
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I rented this film purely on the fact that the cover appealed to me.
However as soon as the film began I had regrets. It seems they used a
home video camera to shoot this film and let a young child do it. They
also used inappropriate ghostly faces and shapes to try and scare
people but i found myself laughing, i could have put that together
myself and done a better job of it.
As for the plot I felt that it had some really good ideas but because
of dodgy lines and in some cases acting they were overshadowed. It had
no direction.
I didn't want to sit through it all because it caused me physical pain
to watch it but i always finish what i start so i took a deep breath
and let it carry on. Definitely 98minutes of my life wasted.
I would save yourself the embarrassment of knowing that you have
watched 'Haunted Boat' and find something that is more entertaining.
I'm a fan of low budget horror films but this was a major
disappointment i thought nothing could get worse after 'Terror Toons'
but this made me reconsider. A let down to its genre.
* out of ***** (The star is for the ideas of having their worst fears
coming for them)

Seems to me like they're making a movie for their media class., 28 July 2010
Author:
balgeorge from United Kingdom
"Haunted Boat" is probably, if not definitely one of the worst movies I
have ever seen. And here's why.
You could not ask for worse acting, to me I personally thought this was
a college media class, where a group of students had to make a scary
movie.
Secondy, the camera work is worse than terrible; I wouldn't be
surprised if they were using a video phone.
And I can write so much more, but would be here for hours! All in all,
please please please do not watch this. It is 90 minutes or more which
I will not ever get back of my life, and I'm saying this for your
benefit.

Who is in which parallel word, that is the question, 17 September 2009
Author:
hasosch from United States
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I borrowed this movie despite its extremely low rating, because I
wanted to see how the crew manages to animate the presence of multiple
worlds. As a matter of fact, they didn't - at least, so its seems. Some
cameo appearance cut rather clumsily into the movie - that's it, this
is what the majority of viewers think. However, the surprise comes at
the end, and unfortunately then, when probably most of the viewers have
already stopped this movie. I was also astonished when I saw that the
Brazilian-Portuguese title of this movie means "Voyage into Death".
This is THE spoiler.
That this movie is about a young girl who goes ALONE onto this boat (on
reasons that are completely unclear), you understand only in the last 5
minutes. When you start the movie with the English title "Haunted Boat"
in your head, you clearly think that the cameo appearances of strange
figures are the "ghosts". But in reality, this movie is not like most
other horror movies told from the distant writer-watcher perspective
who can at almost any time differentiate between different levels of
reality, it is told from the perspective of the young girl. We see her
not alone, but together with the four friends because SHE sees them. We
do not see that she is alone. So, the parallel worlds are not the cameo
appearances flickering into the picture-stream, but the main story! We
have at least two parallel worlds: The world in which the girl is and
the world in which the 4 friends are. An intrusion of a third world is
probably the young man with the medical skills who comes for a short
time on the boat.
I cannot get rid of the deep conviction that with this movie, the
movie-makers "cheated" an audience of several thousand people by
letting them believe that what they have done is more or less a
sophomore film-student elaborate with hastily "chosen" pseudo-actors
that have met just the night before the start of the shooting in a dump
after at least twelve beers. How mistaken can one be! But in addition
to this big surprise which one learns only in the very last minutes,
the end that follows gives another surprise. The girl is saved by a
crew in a helicopter and another boat. When she has recovered from her
shock, she visits again the place at the harbor where she ascended the
boat together with the four friends. And there they are again! They
wave her to them from the boat which has already taken off shore. She
jumps into the water, arrives at the boat - and they are away.
Miraculously beautiful. It remembers me a bit to the end of a poem by a
Rhetoromance writer: When I awoke, I saw Death standing at my bed. But
I closed my eyes. When I opened them again - he was gone.

I was sitting around incredibly bored so I elected to watch this movie. Terrible acting, terrible writing, i could film higher quality with my cell phone from 4 years ago. My brain has officially turned into poo mush after watching this crap. Im no critic myself however I do know if I have a mild sense of entertainment, and this film most assuredly to not accomplish that. How this movie was every considered to be worth producing and showing to the public I have no idea. The one and only perk of the movie is you see one characters boobs for a second, other than that there are lots of things to do that make you feel like your time and / or money was well spent. Save yourself the time and watch paint dry or grass grow. Both are much more entertaining than this.
