Jack Hardy is the sole survivor of a mysterious submarine disaster in World War II. Now, in 1981, the ill-fated submarine Scorpion has resurfaced, miraculously intact. Naval Intelligence need Hardy's expertise to retrace the course and mission that led to her original disappearance. But what's waiting for them under the grey waters of the Baltic Sea turns out to be much worse than the Russian submarines they're expecting. Wherever Scorpion has been all this time, it's brought some very bad luck back with it...

Ghostboat Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Ronnie Henderson Very average, and predictable.Some good moments though, but was let down by cheap and nasty CGI FX.This was, however a decent TV short drama which can was good to watch once. Doesn't quite have the longevity to persuade me to purchase the DVD to build my collection.This certainly won't be one of David Jason's more memorable roles as it doesn't have the charm and complexity of shows such as Open All Hours and Only Fools and Horses.As usual with ITV Dramas, the constant interruption of commercial breaks added to my disappointment of this programme. Although at some points my attention was drawn to the show, the frequent commercials were very off-putting and the temptation to switch over to an alternative channel was high.
kerravon David Jason is brilliant. Sadly a good actor cannot salvage an obvious story line (which owes a lot to other works, such as the similarly named Ghostship) which meant it all became a little predictable, and towards the end just plain silly.Characters behave inconsistently and illogically as the story lurches towards the less than surprising end.The special effects themselves were also erratic - obviously a lot of money was spent on the set of the sub, but the cgi shots ranged from the okay to dreadful.Okay if you are bored, but not the great work I was expecting.
chrischatty an excellent 2 parter the 1981S crew slow change into the 1943 crew was brilliant however the idea that the commander could control what was going on was stupid because he was the most possessed it also makes you think how close we did come to world war 3 during the cold war if stuff like that is classified. however several questions were left unanswered such as if the 'ghost' of scorpion was made real and could be seen why weren't the bodies of the crew also if it was 1981 outside and 1943 inside how come there were the 3 planes which attacked. although i was not very impressed with the graphics apparently they cost £1000 a second over all i think it was a good supernatural thriller
munchkin78 Yet another brilliant bit of acting by Sir David Jason. As a lover of all this spooky and a fan of Jason I found myself glued to the screen.Ghostboat kept me riveted, the plot was good and the acting too. I particularly liked the way the crew were taking on the personalities of the crew which came before them. Commander Travis becoming "possessed" by the previous captain was good.However, i found the ending somewhat disappointing, a great build-up to an anti-climax.All told a great program, which should most definitely be shown again in a few years time.
