The Ferryman

Kerry Fox, John Rhys-Davies (2007) A murderous spirit posesses individuals aboard a pleasure cruise after they rescue a stranger.

Sci-Fi Saturday movie from October 25.

Some sort of unintelligible whispering as an intro. Followed by some guy and Gimli fighting on a boat. So, basically, thus far, I haven't the foggiest clue what's going on. Except Gimli now seems to be attacking the other dude's gibblies with some sort of machete...

And now there seems to be a Maori tribesman on this pleasure cruise. So, I guess we're back the the whole indian thing that used to be so prevalent in these bad sci-fi movies.

And now the just caught a shark. and whacked it with a cricket bat, and then shot it. Which apparently had a human hand in its stomach. With a smiley face watch. I guess, if you're gonna catch a human hand, the best kind is one with some sort of interesting novelty watch.

And I have a snippet of some song stuck in my head that involves the word "ferryman" but I can't think of what it is. Its either Symphony X or Savatage. Or maybe not.

Everyone seems to have some sort of accent, which makes this movie slightly more interesting. Or at least everyone who we care about. There are a few people (e.g., Rich Bitchy Woman) who don't have accents, and the consensus here seems to be "I hope she dies first"

And they just rescued Gimli from the high seas. In the middle of a fog bank at night. Basically, for the past five minutes I'm not really sure what's gone one, because they decided to only use flashlights as the lighting for the scene.

And how did they not notice that Gimli had a big knife when they brought him on board? Which he just used to stab Maori Dude. And got hisself thrown off the boat.

The director of this movie seems to think that Dark = Scary. However, Dark = I have no idea what's going on, because you're a terrible director...

There seems to be more space below decks on this boat than the size of the boat would suggest.

Lots of body-switching, and a bunch of people acting like asses.

Most interesting scene thus far: A slow motion scene which has the villain beating up the captain, which immediately cuts to a different view of the same scene, happening in real time. The change from slow-motion to regular speed is quite abrupt.

This is another one of those where I'm glad that October is almost over, and hopefully we'll be back to actual Sci-Fi, rather than just horror. That and I'm going on vacation in November.

Rich Slutty Bitch is batshit insane. Her boyfriend is choking her, and she gets pissed when someone shoots him. And ends up getting herself possessed by the evil spirit thing. It seems this evil spirit has a vendetta against anyone with a cool accent.

Another one of those movies where if I didn't read the Wikipedia summary, I'd have little idea what's going on. None of those has been any good, FYI.
