    • Trivia
      In 2016, the media website ComingSoon named the film's opening scene one of the greatest in horror film history.
    • Goofs
      (at around 24 mins) Captain Murphy's story of the Mary Celeste is largely inaccurate. According to him, it was a two-mast brigantine leaving Charleston, South Carolina, during the American Civil War. She carried a load of cotton for London, England. Fishermen off the coast of Tripoli found the ship under sail with no one on board; its last log entry was 59 days prior. Somehow an unmanned ship sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar and into the Mediterranean Sea.

      In truth, the Mary Celeste left New York Harbor in late October 1872 with a cargo of 1,701 barrels of denatured alcohol bound for Genoa, Italy. She was found off the coast of Portugal, under sail yet abandoned, with its last log entry nine days before she was found.
    • Quotes

      Epps: Have you told anyone else about this?

      Ferriman: Not a living soul.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening logos are tinted brown, and the typical Warner Bros. logo is instead an intentionally chintzy 60s style logo. All this ties into the infamous cruise ship opening.
    • Alternate versions
      The version aired on Indian cable networks omitted a huge chunk of the opening mass-decapitation scene and most of the gore and graphic shots throughout the film. The scene where Francesca seduces Greer was also edited significantly in order to obscure any nudity.

    The Soul Collector

    The savage team of a tug is ready to rest after the transportation of a platform. When they are celebrating in a bar, the plane pilot Jack Ferriman (Desmond Harrington) offers them the chance of rescuing a passenger vessel vanished in the oceans in 1962. Captain Sean Murphy (Gabriel Byrne), Maureen Epps (Julianna Margulies) and the rest of the crew, tempted by the possibility of a great reward, decides to risk one more rescue operation before going home. Their greed leads them, of course, to a ghost ship, where they are spooked and threatened by ghosts. One of them, a little girl, shows Epps what happened to the passengers and crew during the voyage in 1962. A horrible unraveled secret will haunt the rest of the crew.

    Ghost stories usually take place in a haunted house. This one is in a passenger ship. This movie is not in the same level of 'The Others', 'The Shining' or 'The Sixth Sense', but is also good film. The screenplay play has some clichés and is predictable, but the cast, direction and special effects work well. Probably, the fans of romances will not like it, but those who like a ghost story will appreciate this film. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Navio Fantasma" ("Ghost Ship")

    Note: On 02 June 2017, I saw this film again.
