Review of Dead Calm (1989) by Originaldanger — 21 Mar 2021
Dead Calm is a 1989 thriller, supposedly meant to be a horror too but the only horror is it ever being made.. Let's face it, it's not scary and the story is pretty weak. A couple out at sea on a boat and they encounter some stranger who's deserted some ship and the husband whilst the strangers asleep checks out the boat he's deserted and nearly ends up drowning, with the stranger on board Nicole Kidman tries drugging him, tying him up, shooting him, pretty much anything really and to turn the boat around to go back for her husband.
... In the end she finds her husband and the stranger who came aboard meets his death.... Sam Neil was great but Billy Zane was very annoying and Nicole Kidman was silly, can't believe they took this long to film this garbage and it's all out at sea.
The storyline isn't great and the audience doesn't get much fun viewing or anything to write home about. Not much violence, not much of anything really and it's certainly not a horror because it's not scary.
Silly film and boring.
