From what I remeber about the movie she was the lead guys ex gf who came back after 6 months and ended up being one of the victims on the ship. So was Elizabeth a ghost who just roamed the land for 100-200 years waiting for someone to find out what happened to the lepers ?
shareApparently, the ghost of Blake seeks Elizabeth because, despite being a descendant of David Williams, she's actually the reincarnation of Blake's wife and was one of her ancestor's victims, which explains her mysterious dreams about the Elizabeth Dane. Blake kisses Elizabeth and she transforms into a spirit and disappears as Nick watches helplessly. Obviously the writer of the script (Cooper Layne) wanted to add a love angle & reunion to the leper-ghost story of the original film.

Which leaves begging the point that current Elizabeth supposedly/apparently also loved Nick. Why does Ghost-Blake's love have precedence? What happened to her physical body?
Not a bad movie...mildly entertaining bit of mystery/horror...but the end was a hot mess and made zero sense, even if one accepts the reincarnation angle (which is never really even suggested; she could just as easily been psychic as reincarnated...all the familiarity with the symbol and seeing flames and stuff could be her tapping into the incident with her psychic mojo stuff).
Though I guess Stevie said it best: Nobody knows what happened last night.
All in all, not a movie I hate, but not one I'm likely to pop into the DVD player again.

Thanks for the insightful points; I'll have to see it again to comment.
IMHO it's an atmospheric, spooky and aesthetically pleasing mystery/horror picture, which I marginally like better than the original (after all, the original doesn't have that notable Maggie Grace scene, lol).

Yea, how did the genetics work out if present day Elizabeth is the reincarnate of old Elizabeth? Unless old Elizabeth was a blood relative to David Williams it makes loose sense.
