Georgia (Radha Mitchell) embarks on a solo cruise around the world in
her yacht, sponsored by Monné cosmetics, a deal Georgia's fiancé &
manager Luke (Dominic Purcell) has personally fixed with Monné's
owner/boss, lovely Casey (Tottie Goldsmith) - with whom he will soon start
an affair.
Georgia seems to crack up quite soon though, as she starts talking with
her cat (voiced by Steven Grives) & every now & again imagines her
boat is entered.
That while she's away, her mom Susannah York) commits suicide &
appears to her as a ghost blaming Georgia for her death doesn't make
things any easier, & eventually, her dad (Ray Barrett) dies too
& also comes to visit her - but he only helps her out with good
advice. Then pirates attack the boat & she shoots one of them dead
with her flare gun. Luke, worried about her both because of the pirates
& because of her mental state, wants to terminate the assignement
& get her back, but she refuses, claiming he's only jealous because he
tried a similar venture but didn't make it ...
Later Georgia realizes barnaces have colonized the bottom of her boat,
which is not good, to put it mildly, & for her, the animals every now
& again take on a human form, so she decides for a very drastic
measure ... to burn clean the boat's surface, while she is hiding in a
small compartment, fire exstinguisher in hand. & she really burns
everything on the surface, even a few humans, real or imagined ... which
is also a cleansing process for herself.
In the end, Georgia even makes peace with her mother, only a short time
before she has made it round the world.
But when she sees all the people awaiting her in Sydney harbour, she
just drops a container with her engagement ring into the water, to break
up with Luke, & turns around to land at a more peaceful area. &
would you know it, even her cat has stopped talking back.
Despite some nice, spooky, atmospheric scenes, the movie as a whole
fails to convince. The script seriously lacks dramatic build-up (Georgia's
strange hallucinations are there pretty much from the beginning), instead
crams the story with cheap psychology, an endless string of needless
subplots that more often than not just disappear at one point,
conventiolnal horror scenes, too many scenes of "is it real or just
her imagination" to really maintain interest, & an unnecessary
sappy ending.
It could have been so much better with a good script.
