Ghost Ship

First let me preface by saying that this is in general a good little movie; nice ghost flick and about the only ghost-ship genre film that I can recall ever hearing of. The set-up is good, the atmosphere mysterious enough (though it could have done a bit more inthat respect), and the look nice and spooky.

That said, at about two-thirds or so the way through the film, as the girl-ghost is showing one of the characters how it all started with a fast series of visual images, someone decided to change the background music from eerie to fast-beat trash-rock metal music- which completely blows the mood and jolts one out of the carefully laid spooky atmosphere. At that point it goes from thriller ghost-story to standard action flick, and we're haunted by that same bad music through the end credits (obviously a bad Marketing decision). Sort of like if someone put a mosh pit in the middle of the House on Haunted Hill.

An okay movie but it could have been more if only the Suits had kept their fingers out of it. See it but plug your ears when the trash-rock part comes.
