It's neat that they made the poster look kinda like a book cover.

I'm hoping this movie is as fun as it looked in the trailer but I'm also bracing to be disappointed.

I didn't realize this was being directed by the guy that directed Trollhunter until a few days ago, makes me a little more excited about this movie. The trailers look corny as hell but Trollhunter knew how to balance the corniness with the seriousness perfectly.

I watched it today in a sneak review in Germany.

The Film was good. Well told old type of Story, through there was no "catharsis", the ending was kinda meh.

I can guess why it ended the way it did but still felt a bit like a downer.

The cinematohraphy, the music and the sounds were really good to amazing. The editing during the boarding part was wonky, but once the Crew was on the ship it was good.

The production was really good. I wish the lotr, wot, one piece and other big streaming Shows could Look this good.

The acting was fine. The captain and the first mate were the best, I know them from other movies and they seem to be the most experienced.

Something I was wondering, what was the young guy afraid of at the very beginning. There shouldnt be anything really disturbing left on the ship.

Demeter, I don't know if you were something we could sink our teeth into but, rats!, the sun's coming up and you need to sail on. La revedere...

I swear there has been another monster on a boat slowly killing crew movie in the last 20 years but I cannot recall the name. I remember it being better than this one.
