I've been in an indie/low budget movie kick for a bit, and this one qualifies. a group of investigators goes with a doubting sea captain (a wonderful turn by the great richard roundtree) to attempt to make contact with the mary celeste and/or the "realm" in which the crew of that ship has supposedly been taken to. it's moody and claustrophobic, since it mostly takes place on a small ship at sea surrounded by fog. they do make an attempt to explain what they're doing, but it seemed like a lot of gobbledygook.

also not sure about the types of comments people are leaving for movies like this. almost every one is just "worst movie i've ever seen". how is that helpful for anyone wanting some information before committing to a film? people should be understanding how to review a film before doing it, otherwise, what's the point? you really want to see the worst movie ever made? there's quite a few. "santa claus and the ice cream bunny" comes to mind as a good one to pick, but i'll be damned if it wasn't enjoyable on a certain level.

Rachel Simmons (Emily Swallow ) is investigating the disappearance of the crew of the Mary Celeste that took place 140 years ago. She wants to take measurements at the last known location where the captain made his log. She is aided by Grant (Dominic DeVore ) and an intern Cassandra (Alice Hunter). She has to hire "Shaft" (Richard Roundtree) to captain a ship to take her to the location. Her theory is tectonic plate shift blow back, whatever that is.

Things start to happen as soon as they reach that location, like engines dying.

This is a slow moving story that borders on the supernatural, but is light on actual horror. They could have added a shark. It had all the right elements of character and plot, but somehow the atmosphere didn't bring it all together.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Of all the faux pas of movie directors, to make a film where you can't make out what's going on because you can't see has to be the worst. there's simply no excuse for it!

Combine this with it being pretty boring when you can follow it, you may struggle to make it to the end. About 2/3 through was the best i could do.
