Alarmiert

I recorded this after watching the almost unwatchable "Ghost Ship" and managed to find an even worse of paranormal nautical themed horror film. A mentally unstable woman in on her family yacht and each night wakes up not remembering what horrible events occurred the night before, which she may or may not be responsible for. Lost memory is a pretty weak and overdone story device and the film's feint nods to other stories like "Repulsion" or "And Then There Were None" only serve to remind you how bad this film is. Skip this one and if you insist on watching the supernatural at sea, just watch the first 10 minutes of "Ghost Ship."

Now I'm all for nautical ghost stories, and when I saw the images for Ghost Boat my mind pictured Ghost Ship, a film not to everybody's taste I grant, but one I really like. Sadly they parallel in name only, what we get is a rather dull paranormal tale of a girl locked on a boat, forced to mutilate herself by an evil spirit that locks doors on boats. I think they tried to get a similar vibe to the one in Triangle (A classic in my opinion) but failed miserably, if I had to think of a word to sum it up, it would be forgettable, nothing particularly offensive, the plot and acting weren't great, but they weren't bad, it's just a film that did absolutely nothing for me. It would have had 4 stars, but loses one for the lazy and unforgivable ending. 'Oh it was only a ........'

Poor effort.

Alarmed otherwise known as Ghost Boat is one of existential messy horror films that you walk away from feeling like nothing really happened. Kind of like Dallas, watching an entire season then getting told huzzah that season was all a dream! Not a slap in the face to the viewer at all, no spoilers here though the issue isn't a "Dream" I simply use that comparison because of the way you are left feeling at the end.

The movie is criminally boring and plays out like a scyfy original but without the awful yet charming CGI.

After watching the film I went to my shed, pulled out paint tins and poured some onto the floor then sat comfortably and watched the paint dry. I can confirm that this was more exciting than Alarmed/Ghost Boat.

The fact that ants were drawn to the paint and held a bloody battle royale for the hand of the sweet maiden cockroach did make the comparison unfair but all the same I'd far rather watch Sir Anthony the ant run his rival Adam the ant through with a leaf stalk than 5 minutes more of that moronic drivel.

It's no way a Wife would act and say the things she was doing and saying.. The whole movie I was saying to myself that was dumb, ain't no way, then she laid over her co worker but didn't help her husband. This movie was very predictable and honestly I wasted time watching it. I do not recommend unless it's covid again you are shut in and have watched absolutely everything else. Then. I don't even have a whole 600 words to say about this movie because it was just that bad the whole concept of the movie the things that were portrayed this movie definitely gets a big zero for me. I do not recommend.

There's nothing about the story of this movie that makes sense, I mean, absolutely nothing.

The only thing that saves it are the two lead actors Jennifer Stuckert and Brian Rife that, considering the material they're given, are pretty good.

Oh, and the scary level is sub zero.

Just a very odd movie.
