Take Cover is yet another take on one of, if not the most used plots in film, ready for retirement the protagonist, be they a spy, thief or killer for hire, agrees to one last job only to have it all go sideways. In this case, it’s Sam Lorde who we first see on a roof along with his spotter Ken talking about God as they wait for their target to arrive.

Their target does arrive, and they get their kill, but Sam also kills a woman who seemingly throws herself in front of him trying to save him. He retreats to his cabin in the woods to deal with this, and when their boss Tamara contacts him with his next assignment he tells her it will be his last.

Alice Eve's Carol Marcus in Star Trek Into Darkness reimagines the Prime Timeline character with a twist. Dr. Carol Marcus is portrayed as a weapons scientist with an interest in experimental photon torpedoes. Controversy surrounds Carol Marcus in Star Trek Into Darkness due to her hypersexualized portrayal.

In Star Trek Into Darkness, English actress Alice Eve plays a controversial version of Dr. Carol Marcus in the Kelvin Timeline of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies. Star Trek Into Darkness' Dr. Carol Marcus is a Starfleet physicist who specializes in weaponry, and a potential love interest for Chris Pine's Captain James T. Kirk. To hide the connection between herself and Admiral Alexander Marcus (Peter Weller), who released Khan Noonien Singh (Benedict Cumberbatch) from stasis, Alice Eve's Carol Marcus goes by Carol Wallace when boarding the USS Enterprise.

Horrors on the high sea are a common enough theme, from Ghost Ship and Deathship to The Haunting of the Mary Celeste and Titanic 666 there are plenty of them. The most recent of these, The Haunting of the Queen Mary opens on Halloween Eve,1938 when the ship’s festivities are replaced with terror as an axe-wielding man hacks his way through its corridors.

The plot then circles back a few hours to show Gwen and David Ratch sneaking into an exclusive party in an attempt to get their daughter Jackie introduced to some Hollywood stars who they hope can help her become the next Shirley Temple.

I usually don’t pay too much attention to what the church has to say, but then The Catholic Review referred to Deliver Us as “A blast furnace of blasphemy” and continued, saying that “Deliver Us” (Magnet), also is an amalgam of gore and nudity.” How could I pass up a film that came so highly recommended?

It certainly opens on a bloody note as a row of kneeling men and women are killed and skinned for the elaborate tattoos on their backs. In a remote Russian convent Sister Yulia awakes from a nightmare of the killings and finds she’s showing the signs of the Stigmata. Even more shocking, she’s pregnant with twins, and still a virgin.

The Queen Mary has a history of mysterious deaths and paranormal activity, attracting paranormal investigators and ghost enthusiasts. Visitors can take haunted tours or stay in the infamous Room B340.

The 2023 film Haunting of Queen Mary dives into the horrors of the real-world Rms Queen Mary, with a great many of the included ghost stories coming from the experiences of guests upon the legendary "Most Haunted Ship in America." Now a hotel experience in California, the retired British ocean liner has a thrilling history that has long captivated ghost enthusiasts and paranormal investigators. From the Rms Queen Mary's extravagance to its immense number of accidental deaths,...

A luxury ocean-liner graced by generations of the rich and famous, Hms Queen Mary is now celebrated – and feared – as “One of the World’s Most Haunted Places” (Time Magazine).

The retired Rms Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, California is considered one of the most haunted locations in the world — which only somewhat shines through in Gary Shore’s Haunting of the Queen Mary. Any wishes to relive Dark Castle Entertainment levels of production design in Ghost Ship won’t be fulfilled, but that said, Haunting of the Queen Mary is more successful than its brushed-under-the-rug release undersells. Shore and co-writer Tom Vaughan channel the Queen Mary’s grave history for a supernatural infestation that spans decades, complete with atmospheric haunts akin to what’s accomplished in remakes of Thir13en Ghosts or House on Haunted Hill. Proper spookiness prevails, even though the over two-hour length gunks up the film’s gears with subplots that slow momentum.

Alice Eve stars as Anne Calder, who pitches Queen Mary’s Captain Bittner (Dorian Lough) on a virtual 3D tour experience to resurrect the ship’s reputation.

All aboard! Our destination? The mysterious and infamous Queen Mary ocean-liner in California, a ship with a storied history. Once a luxurious transatlantic passenger liner that saw service as a troopship during World War II, the Queen Mary is now considered a hub of paranormal sightings. Within its ornate walls, Haunting of the Queen Mary unfolds, blending real-life legend with spine-chilling fiction.

Chugging full steam ahead with a tale of two families whose destinies become interwoven across time, Haunting of the Queen Mary invites us to step onto the haunted decks of the ship. One family, headed by photographers Anne (Alice Eve) and Patrick (Joel Fry), boards in the present day, only to find themselves ensnared in a ghostly web with another family that embarked on Halloween Night in 1938. The result is a symphony of violent occurrences and spooky supernatural phenomena that’s an absolute showstopper ….visually.

Plot: Stories playing out in modern day and on Halloween night 1938 show how the haunting of the Queen Mary ocean liner has a devastating effect on two different families.

Review: The Rms Queen Mary is a ship with a fascinating history. It was built in the 1930s to provide weekly express service between England and the United States – and for more than a decade it held the Blue Riband for being the fastest passenger liner on the sea. During World War II, it became a troopship that carried Allied soldiers. When the war ended, it went back to carrying civilian passengers until it was retired in 1967 and docked in Long Beach, California. For more than fifty years, it has sat in Long Beach, a tourist attraction. As you would expect from something with such an incredible history, the ship is believed to be haunted. Sometimes the reasons given for this haunting are questionable,...
