Ghost Ship Sets Sail On Blu-ray In September

Disc Announcements, News

After the success with the remakes of House On Haunted Hill and Thirteen Ghosts, Dark Castle went original with Ghost Ship. A crew of a boat that specializes on grabbing stuff off abandoned ships encounters a boat that hasn’t quite been abandoned. Along with a rather pricey cargo, there’s plenty of supernatural terrors lurking in the hull. Julianna Margulies, Ron Eldard, Desmond Harrington, Isaiah Washington and Gabriel Byrne come on board for frights on the high seas. Now the aquatic haunting is getting elevated with Ghost Ship: Collector’s Edition arriving on Blu-ray on September 29. Here’s the press release from Scream Factory with the bonus features:

“One of the scariest, most original horror movies in years.” – Rob Blackwelder, San Francisco Examiner

Los Angeles, CA –On September 29, 2020, Scream Factory proudly presents Ghost Ship (2002) in the ultimate Blu-ray release.

Finders keepers. Any abandoned ship floating in international waters can be claimed and towed to port by whomever is fortunate enough to find it. Or, in the case of one team of salvage experts, unfortunate enough.

In this stylish, effects-packed chiller from Dark Castle Entertainment, salvagers trained for any situation imaginable come face to horrifying face with the unimaginable after boarding a derelict luxury liner. Julianna Margulies, Gabriel Byrne, Ron Eldard and Isaiah Washington are among the hands on deck who’ll confront a seafaring collector of souls. Steve Beck (Thirteen Ghosts) directs this frightful chiller.

Special Features:

NEW This Isn’t Real – an interview with actor Isaiah Washington
