Ghost Voyage is a 2008 horror film produced for broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel in the United States. Its cast includes Antonio Sabato Jr., Deanna Russo, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.[1]
The plot deals with nine strangers, most of whom are engaged in criminal and/or morally questionable acts, who wake up on an apparently abandoned cargo ship with no memory of how they arrived there.[2] The ship's steward soon appears and explains "the rules" to them: First, do not breach any closed doors. Second, do not enter the captain's quarters. Third, do not refuse any orders from a member of the crew. And don't smoke. The unfortunate passengers soon find out that the ship is haunted by malevolent spirits and that they've all been brought there for some mysterious reason. The spirits take those who have committed greater sins (i.e. murder, adultery, drugs, etc.) The 3 remaining people find out that they are already dead and on a boat ride to hell.[2]
Most of the seven strangers die because they broke a rule. The first is a convict who smokes. He is attacked by a ghost that forms from the smoke of his cigarette and is thrown into hell. The second is a drug addict. He refused an order from the steward. After being chased by a ghost, he has the life sucked out of him. Next is a producer and actress. They entered the captain's quarters. As the actress fixes her hair a ghost image of her forms in the mirror. Later, as the two make out on the captain's bed, the ghost image of the actress forms again. This time however it is the actress herself. The woman with whom the producer was making out is a ghost that has taken the actress's form. The producer is killed and the real actress fades from the mirror. Finally, when two more convicts breach a closed door, the steward enters a room and closes the door. The two convicts set the door on fire. A demon forms from the fire and attacks. The first is killed and the second flees. The second jumps into a ballast tank to escape the fiery outreach of the demon. However, the demon makes the water he is in so hot that it boils him alive. A whirlpool forms (like the one seen outside moments later) that sucks him into hell. The remaining three learn that they are dead after a wave washes over the ship, and one is impaled by a pipe and the other two drown. They all wake up on the deck, and the shipbuilder (who was impaled) tells them they are already dead. To prove this he stabs the engineer with a pipe. When the pipe is taken out again the wound closes. The steward appears and congratulates them for making it here, for not breaking any rules, and then he explains what is happening. Working together the three retrieve the funeral boat from the ship's cargo hold and set sail. More demons attempt to kill them. The trader throws the art dealer into the water and the engineer jumps in to help her. The trader, thinking he has beaten hell, remarks on survival of the fittest. Just then, four demons circle the boat and pull him down to hell. After the trader is sucked into hell, the others return to life on land. They meet and have no memory of the events on the ship. The last scene shows the steward explaining the rules to the next set of strangers, leaving the audience to decide what will happen next as a scream of one of the demons ends the movie.
