Things I learned after watching this - SPOILERS

Wow, what a let down. After reading reviews and synopsis, I thought this would be good but it was horribly stupid.

1. Even though the Navy has an open purse to fight the war on terror, don't use a new ship for black ops interrogation - get one that's 60 years old and could break down any second.

2. Make sure that the ship's engineer has absolutely no tools to fix it.

3. Always do your interrogations near Iranian territorial waters - if the ship breaks down (remember the ship's engineer doesn't even have a screwdriver) it won't drift into their space.

4. Even though the Navy has a huge budget, they can't afford light bulbs. This makes it easier for the ghost to kill people.

5. Old radios can still pick up Nazi broadcasts.

6. Even though you are an elite anti-terror squad, always drop your weapons and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

7. Never radio for help even if 3/4 of your team is has just been killed by a monster ghost.

8. Always enter a room and turn your back immediately when a killer is on the loose.

9. Even though C-4 charges are in place to sink the ship, don't get in a lifeboat and blow up the ship to sink it like you had planned, grab a 480V wire, drag this wire around the ship and try to electrocute the ghost - don't worry if you or the other two survivors die along the way.

10. Finally, like all lame horror movies, NEVER stay in a group so you can have strength in numbers. Always split up and have everyone go alone in different directions so it's easier for the killer.

11. 69 year olds are ideal to lead assault teams.

12. If the engine room and hold you're searching don't have lights, worry not. Just head to the gift shop which will be bathed in light and in perfect order.

13. When being told that all the dead sailors on a US naval vessel on the edge of Iranian waters have been killed by the ghost of a Nazi war criminal, just accept it! I mean there's no other likely explanation.

14. Dont worry if you've been punched repeatedly in the head- you'll still be perfectly coherent afterwards and have all your teeth.

15.No matter what happens, you don't have to worry at all if you're an American female -you'll survive.

16. Despite being highly trained special forces, dead bodies will make you nauseous if you're female.

17. Special forces women have really cool uniforms.

18. A spatula isn't the best self-defense weapon.

Watching this as I type.
19. An engineer will always know the hand signals of an elite SEAL team.
20. Woman are allowed in SEAL teams.
21. When surrounded by a whole team of Spec Ops, it is best to go down a dark passage way, by yourself, armed with a spatula.
22. Asking the harbinger of death for a little *beep* room might get him to leave you alone.
23. Special Ops teams never stick together or follow orders.
24. If you're the Capt. of a SEAL team, aboard a ship with an explainable mass murderer on board, and things start happening, not to mention you're drifting towards Iran you don't say "It's foobar, we're heading to deck and calling in a chopper."
25. You must always confront the enemy, especially one that kills everything an seems to be a ghost.
26. Cigarettes will be good after 60 some years.
27. It would not be smart...at all... to pick up some the dead SEAL team's rifles.
28. Music will continue to play after 60 some years, and no one hear it...or just starts to play when you open the void.
29. And of course, the sole survivor becomes "the weapon".

19. If you are planning on taking a big metal axe (or possibly with a wooden handle), and taking it and thrusting it into your mate whose recently been possessed by a brainwashed nazi dude, and as you thrust more with the axe into his neck and whacking him up against a whole load of pretty lights and electric circuity, so he can light up like a christmas tree....if you're planning on doing that it's ok if your holding a big piece of metal and are connected to a dude in the middle of being electrecuted, don't worry you'll be fine, and hey, even if you assume the handle is too made of wood (it's all red so hard to tell), then show you got balls, and hold the end of the axe which you KNOW is metal..... hey afterall two christmas trees are better than one - but someone forgot to turn her lights on, either that or the woman is not really human and made instead COMPLETELY out of rubber, and therefore not get electrecuted.....

Hey what do you think for the sequal to this movie?
Forget about Alien Vs. Predator

Instead we could have ..

The Ghost of Brainwashed Nazi Supersoldier Vs. Rubbergirl.....

Who do you think would win?

99. Change the name of the movie when it makes it to Showtime, so unsuspecting innocents like me can accidentally start watching it...

o Mid-riff shirts are just as good as bullet proof armor.

o If you are paired with a teammate, you're concentrating your forces too much.

o If you think you see someone, shoot first, verify later...

Maybe you wouldnt have such problem if you have learnt to count.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for enough good men to do nothing.

I laughed when the doctor met the ghost.
Just before when he was talking about who had killed the crew with their bare hands he had said that the killer used anything the victims had in thier hands and said 'I hope when I meet him I am carrying a cushion'.

So when he did meet the ghost he looked at his hand which was holding a bone saw and said 'oh sh*t

That made me crack up laughing.
The other 90 minutes of the movie sucked.

101## So when hunting Nazi ghosts on dark gloomy ships always carry a cushion or a fluffy toy.
NEVER carry knives or blunt objects.

102: Sons of grizzled US Seal captains have British accents and sport an eye plaster from the outset that is never explained.

103: Female scientists enter haunted ships wearing Ghostbusters-style backpacks.

104: Nazi ghosts need to get hip with modern music.

Dave!
