THE FERRYMAN is a long-forgotten British horror film set on a yacht, where six people about to have a party have their fun thwarted by the arrival of a shipwrecked stranger. Before you can say DEAD CALM the film has turned into a low rent FALLEN rip-off, with a demon swapping bodies like nobody's business and all manner of bloodshed playing out in the restricted confines of the vessel. Sadly, this is the kind of film that makes you want to tear your hair out. After an unimpressive first half, the second gives way to endless screaming, heavy emoting, and overacting from the entire cast. The director doesn't understand the meaning of restraint so it quickly gets noisy and overwhelming and extremely tiresome. There's no horror content here are all, just characters acting in the dumbest ways imaginable and failing to ever get to grips with their situation. I found it a complete bore, and pitied John Rhys-Davies for appearing.
