“Haunting Of The Mary Celeste” (*1/2 out of four) was a banal horror show about a curious researcher (Emily Swallow) who sets out with her team on the high seas to find that a crew disappeared due to a supernatural phenomena and sure enough- all of her team gets killed off one-by-one and they have to fight to stay alive. Intriguing opening soon goes nowhere as films sputters and drags and story eventually decays into sheer corn. This film itself is “haunted” by the memories of much better films at sea (“Dead Calm” and “Ghost Ship” in particular) which were more skillful and scary.
