"The Ghost Ship is a classic B movie from the studio era. It clocks in at less than 70 minutes but manages to fit in an awful lot of interesting characters and situations. To many modern viewers the story and dialogue will seem clichéd and contrived and the acting melodramatic. For those few, it seems, that appreciate this old-fashioned style of moviemaking it will be a treat to watch... This movie drips with atmosphere and foreboding, from the opening shot with a blind beggar, to all the old salts on the crew, to the descending madness of the Captain. Yes, the plot is predictable but the Noir-ish journey is an enjoyable one to take." - Patrick Nash, Three Movie Buffs
