  I wont go too much into the plot here, except to say it's not really a horror movie rather than a supernatural mystery / drama that reminded me some what of Wuthering heights. The plot focuses on a group of tour guides on a 19th century ship. One of the characters keeps seeing visions of a woman committing suicide. Is this the ghost of a long dead passenger from the boat? The Good - Likable, down to earth characters that act somewhat like real people - Spooky scenes on the ship are well shot and has a great ambiance - An interesting paranormal mystery the has an air of classic literature to it - A slow burn , but has a good enough momentum to keep you engaged - Inbetweeners actress Lizzie Stables needs to be a future scream queen The Not so good - The extras in this movie are comically bad, just look at there reactions - The plot gets a little convoluted , partially towards the end - Some of the visual effects are a little on the cheap side Overall i did enjoy this through back to a classic haunting mystery film . It does feel a little bit TV. But an interesting plot and likable characters along with the comedy extras made some a somewhat enjoyable watch
