Sea Of Evil
.
I throw this in the ole' DVD player at least once or twice a year I absolutely loved this film. With regards to an original story line I doubt they broke any new ground, but it was still incredibly well done. As usual the critics got it wrong the general consensus being that this movie was substandard . I think there outta be a law preventing critics that are not fans of the horror genre from reviewing films like this. Or perhaps rather that a law lets just tar and feather the bastards and force them to run naked through the village square, I know we can't shoot-em. First off without giving anything away the opening death scene was unlike anything I'd ever seen before, I swear I almost shit myself. For that unbelievable scene alone it should have been nominated for something. The basic premise follows a salvage team that discovers a abandoned cruise liner the "Antonia Graza" that disappears over 40 years ago without a trace. Shortly after they board the decaying and decrepit vessel they discover that it is indeed still inhabited by a force so evil and horrific that it's unlikely that any of the team will survive. The story follows our hero's as the desperately try to save their own skin, thwart the evil within and perhaps make a little coin along the way, Yeah there's treasure on board go figure... I loved the look of the film, the set design was very believable and the special effects were very well done, it has an excellent cast staring Gabriel Byrne , Julianna Margulies , Desmond Harrington , and Ron Eldard. If you like horror films this is a must see.
