the ghost ship (1943)


"Authority cannot be questioned."
Tom Merriam (Russell Wade) signs on to a cargo ship as third officer. At first everything goes well and he fits into the crew easily, but then the deaths start occuring, and Merriam begins to believe that the captain (Richard Dix) may be behind them. He tries to warn the crew, but no one is willing to believe him...
A fine psychological thriller as much as a horror, produced cheaply and effectively by Val Lewton.
