The character Sarah played by Emily Mortimer at one point in the movie says " Something Is Wrong Here." And upon watching the film I have to agree. That something is the whole movie. It is a bland affair with a very weak story, predictable scares and not much else.
The fact that it has Gary Oldman and Emily Mortimer in lead roles makes "Mary" even worse because they try as much as they can but don't have much to work with. It turns out that the ship called Mary is cursed and it always ends up going in the same direction and that in three previous instances crew members or their family members have disappeared while sailing it. There is a vengeful ghost on board that slowly drives people insane and that's not good news for David (Gary Oldman), his family or first mate as they are either being possessed or trying to kill eachother and themselves. There is also an uninteresting back story that is mostly there to extend the run time.
Overall a weak attempt with little to offer. Watch The Fog (Original Version) or Ghost Ship if you feel ike watching a horror with a nautical theme.
