Trapped aboard the family yacht, Samantha lives out her personal Hell, night after night, answering to the cruel and painful demands of the ship's alarm system. Taking a journey into the depths of depravity, she wakes each morning to the disfiguring scars left by the previous night's horror and searches for the answer to a missing memory: 'Could I have killed my family... Or did Hell get it wrong?'

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Now I'm all for nautical ghost stories, and when I saw the images for Ghost Boat my mind pictured Ghost Ship, a film not to everybody's taste I grant, but one I really like. Sadly they parallel in name only, what we get is a rather dull paranormal tale of a girl locked on a boat, forced to mutilate herself by an evil spirit that locks doors on boats. I think they tried to get a similar vibe to the one in Triangle (A classic in my opinion) but failed miserably, if I had to think of a word to sum it up, it would be forgettable, nothing particularly offensive, the plot and acting weren't great, but they weren't bad, it's just a film that did absolutely nothing for me. It would have had 4 stars, but loses one for the lazy and unforgivable ending. 'Oh it was only a ........'Poor effort.

I caught this low budget horror/thriller on Amazon Prime under the title GHOST BOAT. The story is about a girl trapped on a boat who finds herself in some kind of time loop in which she's forced to suffer indignity after indignity, time and again. The obvious inspiration is the Melissa George film TRIANGLE, of which this is a huge rip-off, and it's not interesting at all. The low budget means that much of the incident is purely psychological and although the cinematography is professional, the narrative is fragmented and annoyingly disjointed.

Tormented by a past tragedy, a woman joins a group of friends on her family's boat only to get stranded in open water and finds herself being forced into disfiguring herself day after day until she uncovers the truth about the trauma to get the situation to stop repeating.This didn't offer up much for it. One of the main problems here is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of interest in what goes on with her traumatized condition. Despite it being set-up from the start as her having a kind of debilitating condition, nothing about what happens really makes it obvious that she really is and it just comes off as incredibly route and clichéd from the start. The fact that she's become quite flighty and jumpy doesn't really endear itself all that much into inducing fear, and the action of what's happening doesn't really mean anything because it's all so utterly hard to care about the events within. It builds to a mystery that's impossible to care about, takes forever to do so and tries to force these conclusions onto her that it just seems so convoluted and haphazardly done that there's nothing about it that draws any interest to what's going on. The supposed scares are weak and unconvincing and lead to such a wild conclusion that there's overall little appealing there, and with the repetitious nature of it all coming back around again and again it's impossible to generate tension from there, and frankly the only thing that really works here is the suggested brutality of the kills that end her day as what this implies her doing to herself get somewhat creepy at times. Overall, though, there's little about this one worth remembering.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Since it was hard to find anything decent info wise about this film i thought what the hell so here it goes;The good:after 30 minutes or so a decent story develops with some good scenes - minimalistic setup works most of the time - female lead acts okay - if you like to see all the possible variations on groundhog day its one for your list.The bad:cheap flick with amateur hour acting. - takes long to get the good stuff going - dumb decisions from both of the leads, for example if you have the choice to cut off your own finger or really go ballistic on the Windows of your room where you are locked in nobody is going to just give up after some feeble attempts.unless of course if you make a movie on the cheap and you rented an expensive boat and you don't want to damage it. - final twist just sucks -many loose ends, why is -i guess its the devil - torture the lead ..no reason at all - devil Guy is a joke, looks like an extra from an early 90's video clip.So this movie just barely redeems itself from the bottom of the barrel through a couple of decent scenes and a few good ideas. Don't be fooled by the cover though; looks a hell of a lot more exciting than the movie really is.
