The Ninth Passenger
A group of salacious students party aboard a luxury yacht only to turn on each other as a 9th PASSENGER picks them off one by one.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic yacht-bound thriller that tries to mix slasher beats with high-seas suspense—but struggles to stay afloat.
- Yacht-bound isolation sets a classic “killer on the boat” stage, echoing maritime horror like *Ghost Ship* but with a leaner cast.
- Jesse Metcalfe’s presence adds a bit of star wattage, though character motivations and twists don’t fully land.
- Practical tension hits are undercut by uneven pacing and a script that promises more than it delivers.
- For fans of micro-budget thriller-horror hybrids who appreciate the setting and atmosphere over polished storytelling.
