Review:
I actually brought this over to my Folk's house to watch and they said they'd seen this at least 4 times and that it was amazing so how could I resist? For once I agree with them...okay well maybe I wouldn't watch this four times but it was a very exciting and thrilling flick. John (Sam Neill) and Rae (Nicole Kidman) are a couple who are trying to get their lives together while relaxing on a sailboat after a devastating car crash. Things are going amazing until Hughie (Billy Zane) turns up in a rowboat claiming that he is the lone survivor on his ship. He claimed that disease had killed all of the passengers aboard and that the ship was sinking and that he needed help. They take him aboard but something about his story doesn't seem to click with John (he's from the Navy I believe) so he goes to check out the ship he came from. From there it's all excitement pretty much and it's very tense as of course we find that Hughie isn't exactly what he claims to be. I liked that this plot did sort of edge on horror yet it also crams many exciting and frightening situations within. Very well done and should be the sort of thing that nearly anyone should enjoy.
Availability: On DVD & Blu-Ray
