24 Years Later, Karl Urban’s Chilling Thriller Has Aged Like Fine

Collider · 3 hours ago

Collider revisits the 2002 supernatural thriller Ghost Ship, arguing that its campy tone, gore and early-2000s effects have retained their appeal. The article also highlights the film as Karl Urban’s Hollywood feature debut, before his later roles in Dredd, The Boys and other franchises.

The film follows a ship-salvage crew led by characters played by Gabriel Byrne and Julianna Margulies as they board a haunted vessel, encountering apparitions, elaborate effects and violent set pieces. Urban plays Munder, the crew’s welder, and is singled out for a scene involving live maggots, which he later said were real; Ghost Ship is currently available to stream free on Tubi.

  • Ghost Ship is reassessed as enduringly campy, gory early-2000s horror.
