Dream Cruise


If you are hit in the head and drowned by your adulterous husband while spending quality time in his love boat, does that mean that'll automatically make you green, bloody, and slimy when you come back for revenge? Apparently, in Asian horror movies, the texture of your skin becomes slimy goo once you're murdered and thrown into a body of water. 

Masters of Horror has recently caught up with the trend. In Norio Tsuruta's "Dream Cruise," a woman and her husband go on a fun boat ride along with the American lawyer (who's having an affair with the wife). Amidst the soap-opera drama, a green, very dead ex-wife climbs on board for revenge. The movie is cheap and cheesy, but there's something about the consistency of a slimy complexion that makes the uneventful 59 mins worth the watch.
