    Excellent B-grade movie that didn't make it to general release in the US. What a shame! People, stop watchin blockbusters and stop killin the market! See, now you've missed out on a psychosexual thriller that's superior to the usual slasher fare - only that it's Kiwi-made and con...( read more)tains few stars.

    This is actually quite good for a grade movie. Though the majority of the cast are no names, and the acting usually isnt special, its when the horrors begin where it really picks up. And it is bloody, very disgusting and pretty cool! ^_^

    This is unusual story... an acnient sp...( read more)irit has survived for thousands of years by transferring itself into other bodies by killing its vitims with a special dagger known as the shifting blade. But now, "Death" has found it, and so it begins to haunt a young group which mistakenly 'rescues' it from the sea in order to survive... in some real brutal and psychopathic methods, tranferring itself from each crew member and killing them one by one.

    The cast should be given judos for pulling off the evil spirit acting, they all did pretty well, surprisingly. And the ending was a bit of a twist, most of you would think otherwise, but not expect what really happens.

    I reckon it was alright... though it was obviously "B grade" and does suffer for that, unlike some of the other quality stuff been release this year.

    A job well done by the actors as each lost their body to the "Greek."

    This film gets half a star because I want to be supportive of NZ Films....it is a dud.

    Ha ha ha... what a total joke of a movie!!!
    The ending really did make me think what the hell have i just watched, what a waste!!!
    Daft storyline, poor special effects and cardboard acting... set out somewhere in the ocean... in the dark... and its foggy... mmm!
    Scary? not at all...( read more)... cheesy?
    VERY!!
