David (Academy Award Winner Gary Oldman) is a struggling blue-collar captain looking to make a better life for his family. Strangely drawn to an abandoned ship that is up for auction, David impulsively buys the boat, believing it will be his family’s ticket to happiness and prosperity. But soon after they embark on their maiden journey, strange and frightening events begin to terrorize David and his family, causing them to turn on one another and doubt their own sanity. With tensions high, the ship drifts off course, and it becomes horrifyingly clear that they are being lured to an even greater evil out at sea.
This one really snuck up on me! Not since Ghost Ship, and never taken this seriously, I think I might actually be down for some nautical curses, hauntings, etc. And this time around, we’ve finally got the acting support (Oldman & Mortimer? Yes, please) needed to make this concept potentially successful. No offense, Julianna Margulies.
If the intensity of the performances in the trailer translate to full length, I’ll be watching this opening night, 4 rows back, center and smiling. Or the equivalent in my living room, who am I kidding?
Mary will be available in Theaters, and on VOD October 11.
