Byrne's captain leads a salty crew of salvage hunters on board the Antonia Graza, a luxury liner missing since 1962, and after a series of ''scary'' incidents (many taken almost jolt for jolt from the same producers' House on Haunted Hill), including the requisite talking ghosts and self-locking doors, the group realizes why no one has since claimed it. The eye-candy opener -- a picturesque glimpse of a glamorous evening on the Italian cruise ship turned bad -- is just enough to suck you in, and the atmospheric eeriness may keep you around long enough to discover where all the cliches will finally dock.
