I really enjoyed this
I have not seen the original John Carpenter film.
This film had many themes I enjoyed: ghost ship, paranormal, small coastal town, reincarnation.
The editing is a bit out of sorts at times, some shots are in a bizarre order, but not too many.
Despite that, the film was well put together, and I was never bored. Loved the flashbacks to the ship and it's crew.
This film does not have many fans, but I certainly am.
