ghost submarine

"Ghost Submarine" is a "Haunted House" that takes place in a submarine. Stories like "Haunted House" have been remade several times in Hollywood. In recent years, I have also been impressed by "The Haunging" and "13 Ghosts". The commonality of the story is that in the closed space, the looming ghosts use various cruel methods to kill the people in the space one by one.



What makes "Ghost Submarine" a little bit special is that the story takes place in a submarine during World War II. The submarine was driven to the surface, unable to surface. Everyone becomes irritable and irritable due to lack of oxygen, but the small space makes these people have to be in close contact, so all kinds of conflicts continue.



This could have been a good subject. If the director can pay more attention to the violence, desires, fears in people's hearts, and how people gradually get out of control under the oppression of these emotions.



But obviously, the director did not intend to do so. He just wanted to get some ghosts and ghosts out, and in two hours, give the audience a little excitement. So, instead of the great The Shining, this movie is just the mediocre The Below.



What's great about this movie is that the shots are applied smoothly in the cramped submarine, and the space is made clear.



IMDB score of 6.3 (3703 votes), I give it a 5.

    The editing is good, and the story itself is still a bit interesting, but the director made the story drowsy, the rhythm is very painful, the first 50 minutes are too hypnotic... Basically it's blablablabla, and the second half is slowly exciting stand up. The atmosphere in the second half is well created, but the scary places are still the same as in horror movies, I can basically guess it, but the mirror part is still scary...

    Is the heroine here for sightseeing? In the end, it's too silly to explain it as karma. Such a creative haunted house environment is all about the lowest level of jump scares. The only morse code that feels more emotional is diluted by the comedy atmosphere that came from nowhere. It could have been weird looking in the mirror. In the end, I saw a smile. Aloud, what a pity. Feels like Aronofsky could switch jobs with David Ducey...
