Phantom Ship (1935)
3/10
Creaky tale of a ship who's crew goes missing has little beyond a unique Lugosi performance to recommend it
5 June 2006
I always wanted to see this movie because I heard it had a real Lugosi performance, and it certainly does. The problem is the rest of the movie is god awful and damn near unwatchable.

The plot has the Ship Mary Celeste going to see with a mad man in the crew slowly killing off the crew. Of course this doesn't fit with history, but who cares...its an explanation of what happened. This creak fest is laughably bad and I pretty much lost interest when the bar owner with the bowler hat and Christmas tree ear ring showed up.

Lost Classic? I think not. I think this is just bad. Its an over cooked pot boiler thats leaked all over the stove thats just a mess that some one really should clean up.
