The cover art that is just a rip-off of the Ghost Ship really misrepresents this film.
Haunting of the Mary Celeste (2020) is a slow low-budget drama that is just too predictable to be interesting.
All the 'horror' in this comes in a form of a couple of apparitions and some tricks with coins and magnets.
At a certain point, the ending becomes obvious and you're just waiting for it to wrap-up. The ending scene doesn't make too much sense, and overall there's not that much substance in this besides some dramatic elements which are spoiled in the first scene.
It's not hard to understand the motherly love dynamic that is going on and kind of works. But if you market this as horror, please include some actual horror.
It's not horrible, but the marketing did this film a disservice.
