While waiting for someone to call me back [they never did] I figured I'd wait in the comfy chair and watch whatever Dad had been watching until the phone rang or Dad came back. He was apparently watching Ghost Ship. After the initial "Oh Cuuuuuuuuuuuuupid from Xeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnaaaaaa" moment, I settled down and tried to figure out if missing most of the movie would be a good thing or not. Anyone who actually watched the whole thing, could you explain why the hell everyone on the ship died originally? I was doing my best to keep the nephew from seeing the flashback murder scenes, which were awesome to me, but I'm thinking not good for little kids, but I didn't get why. And I know at least... Al, I think? Saw the movie. So... um, explain? Cuz I'm confused.

G'ah, sneezing fits!

I must've been watching at the same time as you!

This is my take on it, though I haven't seen the full movie in a while:

Basically, the guy (can't remember his name) who was the bad guy (Desmond?) was either a devil or had a contract with the devil to ferry as many "marked" souls to hell (marked being evil). So he has to tempt them (with the treasure) and then kill them. That's why he was the only survivor of the ship that the Antonia Graza picked up the treasure from. Because he took over that ship, and then transferred himself to the Antonia Graza, and then used the wreckage to lure more souls in.

Does that make sense? I feel like that was convoluted, even for me.

So the first go round, with all the rat poison and elaborate deaths was just... to fill quota? And everything thereafter was to lure more in until he'd hit his number? *muse*

That is the strangest set up for some elaborate death scenes, man. The evil quota. Noooooooooo!
