The Ghost Ship Full Movie Explained

Rate this post

The movie Ghost Ship starts in the year 1962 on an Italian 
ocean liner named Graza. A singer named Franceska  

is entertaining the guests who enjoy the night 
dancing with their loved ones. Amidst the crowd,  

a little girl named Katie sits alone because 
she doesn’t have a partner to dance with. The  

captain of the ship notices this and brings 
her to the floor. The lively party quickly  

turns into a dreadful one when an unknown hand 
lifts a lever that tightens a wire cord.
 

The wire then snaps and whips across the dance 
floor, bisecting the passengers and crew. Their  

bodies thump on the ground one after another, 
creating a bloodbath. The only person alive  

on the dancefloor is Katie since the wire 
couldn’t get her because of her height.
 

The scene cuts forty years later to the future. 
A salvage crew of six people is rescuing a random  

vessel from the sea. Captain Murphy leads his team 
and successfully brings the ship to the shore.
 

The group then goes to a pub to celebrate where 
they are approached by an old acquaintance named  

Jack. Jack also works in the marine business 
and has heard about a ghost ship from 1962.

Rumor has it that the ship contains a chest of 
gold that has been missing for half a century.  

The person who brings the ship to the 
shore gets to claim whatever is in it.
 

This sparks the crew’s interest and 
they set off to look for the ship on  

their salvage tug the next day. After a few 
hours long trip, they reach the destination  

but the tracker shows no ships around the area. 
They check if it is working properly and come to  

the conclusion that the report was fake.
Just when they are about to turn around,  

they get the view of a massive commercial ship 
in front of them. Their boat slams onto the ship  

but luckily, the impact is not damaging. 
After dwelling on who gets to go inside first,  

Jack and a crewmate Greer stay behind 
while the rest four enter the ship.
 

Only seconds after their arrival, the group 
starts experiencing paranormal activities.  

First, they hear random noises, then, they 
see things moving through the dark corners.  

They blame it on the wind and keep moving 
but behind them, a scrabble moves on its  

own and forms the words “Welcome Aboard”.
When they are on the upper deck, one of the crew  

members named Munder falls into a hole but he is 
saved by the only woman in the group, Maureen.  

As she tries pulling him up, the little girl 
Katie suddenly appears in the background.
 

She disappears within seconds not giving 
Maureen a chance to comprehend if she is real.  

The incident makes her feel uneasy but 
she doesn’t tell anyone about it.
 

A little further, the group discovers a digital 
watch on the floor. Since these kinds of watches  

were not a thing in 1962, they theorize that 
someone has been on the ship before them.  

After that, the captain decides to continue the 
search the next day since the ship is massive.
 

When Maureen is alone at night, Jack approaches 
her. He senses that she is tense after she saved  

Munder earlier. Upon finding out about the little 
girl, Jack goes quiet for a few seconds. He seems  

to know something but doesn’t show it on the 
outside. Instead, he suggests Maureen sleep for  

some hours to get rid of the hallucinations.
The next day, the crew sits down to plan their  

next move. They have discovered that the ship 
is sinking slowly because of damage to its base.  

They decide to stay in the waters 
for three days to fix it and then  

return to the shore with the entire ship.
Without wasting much time, they continue their  

respective jobs in the different parts of the 
ship. Meanwhile, Maureen explores it and reaches  

the swimming pool area. She notices bullet marks 
on the wall which is strange because they were  

told that all passengers died of drowning.
While trying to climb out of the pool, she again  

comes face to face with Katie. Startled, she falls 
off the ladder and starts bleeding from her head.  

However, when she looks back up, Jack is standing 
in the place where Katie was seconds ago.
 

The two walk away, without noticing that Maureen’s 
blood is disappearing from the pool. Soon,  

the bullet holes start oozing out blood 
and the entire pool is filled with it.
 

After that, Jack and Maureen explore the laundry 
room and find another door that was not in the  

ship’s blueprint. Upon opening it, they are pushed 
by a force of water which also brings mutilated  

corpses out of the locked room. Both Jack and 
Maureen panic and try to run away. However, the  

door they came through locks on its own, leaving 
them no option but to go further into the ship.
 

In the meantime, Captain Murphy 
ends up in the captain’s lounge.  

He finds an opened bottle of alcohol but while 
trying to take a sip, he sees the ship’s actual  

captain in the mirror. The glass drops and 
shatters before Murphy runs away in fear.
 

Unaware of the paranormal activities, Greer is 
minding his own business when he hears someone  

singing. It is Franceska, the same performer who 
was entertaining the passengers onboard in 1962.  

Greer looks for the source of the 
sound but gives up after a while.  

What he doesn’t know is that the woman is 
watching him walk away from behind him.
 

Somewhere else, Jack and Maureen come across a 
chest filled with blocks of gold. It is worth  

millions of dollars that everyone in the 
crew can take home. They excitedly gather  

everyone and show them the treasure. Now, 
they no longer need to repair the ship and  

can return home with only the treasure.
In the following scene, everyone is loading  

the gold into their boat. The mechanic Santos is 
cleaning the engines so they would be ready when  

they decide to leave. Behind him, someone 
deliberately leaks propane from a cylinder  

which causes an explosion. It results in 
Santos’s death and the boat’s destruction.
 

Everyone is shocked and saddened by the unexpected 
death. Moreover, now they are stuck on the ship  

until they manage to repair it. Right before 
the explosion, Maureen had seen Katie again.  

It was as if she was trying to warn Maureen about 
the explosion but was stopped by someone.
 

This is enough reason for Maureen to look into 
who Katie is. She goes through the passenger  

registry and finds out her room number. On walking 
into the said room, Maureen screams in shock.  

It turns out that Katie died of hanging as her 
decomposed corpse is still hung to the ceiling.
 

After composing herself, Maureen comes closer 
and takes a necklace off Katie’s corpse.  

Her spirit appears in the room and asks for 
the necklace. Maureen tries handing it to her  

but it goes right through her palm. It is now 
clear to her that the girl is not a human.
 

In the kitchen, two crew members find fresh meals. 
They do not question it before devouring half of  

the food. Initially, it tastes amazing but after 
a while, they smell a horrible scent. On checking,  

they see that the food has turned into maggots. 
Both panic and start vomiting in disgust.
 

Then, there is Greer who is in the ballroom. 
Everything is normal until all of a sudden,  

the place transforms into how it looked 
before the wreckage. The guests surround  

him and act like they are at a usual party.
Moreover, Francesca seems to have extra interest  

in him. She flirts with the guy and manipulates 
him into kissing her, even though he has a fiance  

waiting for him at home. After the kiss, he is 
already too deep to back out. Francesca starts  

undressing while he follows her behind, hoping 
to end up in her room. But instead, he falls  

off a high platform and dies. The beautiful 
woman then shows her real deformed face.
 

In the meantime, Murphy is in 
the captain’s room when suddenly,  

a bottle of alcohol starts moving on its own. 
He looks at it closely and finds the ship’s  

captain sitting in front of him. The man offers 
Murphy some alcohol, much to his disbelief.
 

The captain is not here to hurt him but to have 
a chat. He tells Murphy about a lost ship named  

Lorelie. Forty years ago when everything came 
down, the Lorelie ship was found by Graza;  

the ship they are on right now. But two 
days after finding the lost ship, Graza  

also disappeared. With that being said, Murphy 
is handed a picture that leaves him in shock.
 

Meanwhile, Katie and Maureen are also chatting in 
her room. The little girl reveals that everyone  

who died on the ship forty years ago has 
been trapped here ever since. They cannot  

go to heaven because someone powerful is binding 
them to the ship. Now, the only way they can be  

released is if the ship is destroyed. Before 
Katie explains who the powerful person is,  

the walls in the room start changing colors. 
She panics and orders Maureen to run away  

before disappearing herself.
Back in the swimming pool area,  

Murphy is looking for the rest of the crew. 
He has finally found out the truth about the  

ship’s disappearance and wants to return to 
the shore as soon as possible. But on the way,  

he is attacked by several Santos; the guy who died 
in the explosion earlier. The hallucinations seem  

so real that when Maureen approaches him, Murphy 
thinks she is also the ghost of Santos.
 

He attacks her and does everything he can 
to end her life. Maureen somehow manages  

to stab him in the feet and save herself. A 
while later, Jack arrives and knocks Murphy  

out for their own safety. They put him in 
a drained fish tank and lock him inside.
 

By now, the group doesn’t care about the 
gold and just wants to return to the land.  

They continue fixing the ship for the next few 
hours and finally get done. Since Greer has  

still not returned from the lounge area, everyone 
is worried. While the guys do some last-minute  

checking, Maureen goes to look for him.
She yet again comes across Katie who shows  

her Greer’s dead body. This time, the girl 
is adamant about showing Maureen everything  

that happened on the ship forty years ago. She 
touches Maureen and brings her to the past.
 

The ship is lively with people’s chatter and 
laughs. But what they do not know is that the  

co-captain has convinced the entire crew members 
to kill everyone on board for the gold they found  

earlier. The cooks mixed rat poison with the food 
which killed the majority of the people. Then,  

the dance floor massacre followed. The remaining 
survivors were shot dead in the pool.
 

Poor Katie was dragged into her room and hanged 
to death. At last, the crew members ran to the  

treasure and started grabbing whatever they could 
but the co-captain didn’t allow that either.  

Joining hands with Franceska, he 
shot every single one of them.
 

At last, the two of them were left before 
Franceska betrayed him and shot him in the head.  

It turned out her actual lover is a different 
man who was also the mastermind behind the entire  

massacre. After killing hundreds of people, they 
shared a passionate kiss but the surprises did not  

end there. The man killed Francesca by releasing a 
hook that slashed into her neck and hooked her.
 

In the end, the man is revealed to be none 
other than Jack. He is a demonic spirit of  

a dead sinner. His job is to make people sin 
and kill them to bring their souls to hell.
 

Everything makes sense to Maureen now because 
Jack was the one who told them about the ship  

in the first place. He also appeared out of 
nowhere when Maureen saw Katie in the pool.  

Moreover, he has been asking her to forget about 
Katie every time she told him about her.
 

Maureen suddenly remembers Murphy but when 
she reaches him, he has already drowned and  

died in the aquarium. She quickly goes to the 
others to warn them of the murderer on board.  

Munder is scuba diving in the flooded engine 
room to fix something. She wants to follow him  

but the pipes fill with blood, indicating that he 
has also died. It turns out that someone pulled  

him into the gears and ground him to death.
Now, the only two people left are Maureen and  

the last crew member named Dodge. She asks 
him to keep an eye out for Jack while she  

places explosives on the ship. But when Dodge and 
Jack are alone, Jack plays games with his head  

and starts a fight. In a fit of rage Dodge 
shoots him and assumes that he is dead.
 

He then goes to Maureen who has just gotten done 
setting the explosives. He tells her he killed  

Jack and that they can start a life together 
using the gold. Maureen thinks about it for  

a second and asks him why he hasn’t inquired 
about Munder who still hasn’t been found.
 

It is then revealed that the person is actually 
Jack who was trying to make Maureen sin. As long  

as this boat remains, the souls will never be let 
free. Jack knows that Maureen is a good person so  

he offers to spare her life in exchange for her 
not interfering with his rules. But as a reply,  

Maureen detonates the explosives.
Jack and the entire ship are blown into pieces  

while Maureen jumps off and saves her life. She 
is underwater struggling to find a way out when  

Katie comes to her rescue. Finally, all the 
souls who died on the ship are let free.
 

The next morning, a cruise ship finds Maureen 
floating on a box and she is rescued. As she  

is being taken away in an ambulance, she notices 
a crate of gold being loaded onto a cruise ship.  

Jack has somehow been resurrected 
and is planning to continue  

the cycle of sin. The movie ends as Maureen 
screams and the ambulance door closes.
