Horror Cruises is the pioneering work of the looping horror genre

The horror of Horror Cruises is that there is no way to escape from a predetermined fate. Destiny has been arranged from the moment I boarded the ship, nothing can break it, no matter how restarted it can never be changed.

The propaganda poster already hinted at it all, but back to square one.

A single mother, JESS, drove her son with her son, and was invited to the pier to go out to sea with her friend GREG. Unfortunately, she had a car accident on the road. Both mother and son were killed, but JESS, who became a ghost, did not leave, but she did not know it, so her fate deviates from the original track.

Jess reunited with friends. But in a storm, the boat broke. So came across the horror cruise.

JESS abnormal situation 1: I don't know the whereabouts of the child.

Abnormal situation 2: The cruise ship feels familiar.

The crowd began to look at the cruise ship.

There are multiple mirror shots in the film, suggesting multiple groups of JESS on the ship.

HEATHER's third side appearance. . . .

The masked man appeared.

That's the point, the masked man is JESS.

In this film, the heroine is very brave and smart, but it is useless, fate is fate.

  • Driver: Are you alright?

    Jess: Who are you?

    Driver: I'm just a driver... No point trying to save the boy, there's nothing anyone can do to bring him back. So... Can I give you a ride?

    Jess: Yes. Take me to the harbor.
