Ghost Ship (1952)
2/10
Dead Bodies???

Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe nobody questioned a huge plot hole in this movie. I'll omit the story, since other reviewers have mostly explained it, but we are to believe that three people went out on a boat -- SPOILER ALERT***SPOILER ALERT -- and one of them murdered the other two and hid their bodies on the boat... repeat, on the boat, and then, later, when the boat is found, the bodies are NOT found. It's even dumber than that, because at one point the hero buys the boat and has it completely repaired from stem to stern, and, again, no bodies are found. Not even a couple of skeletons. This is incredible. I also didn't believe for a minute that the murderer would have returned to the boat at the very end -- ANOTHER SPOILER ALERT -- and killed himself just because some weird so-called "medium" went into a "trance" and supposedly revealed that he had murdered the other two people, why didn't he just head for the hills? What court of law would've allowed the testimony of a "medium" as the only proof, especially with no bodies? If I slept through essential parts of this movie and missed things that would explain all this, feel free to yell at me and set me straight!
