Reflecting studio executives' taste for material that crosses genres, this film from director
David Twohy and co-screenwriter
Darren Aronofsky mixes the
war movie and
supernatural thriller genres. After they rescue a trio of survivors that includes a nurse,
Claire Page (
Olivia Williams), from a British hospital ship sunk by the Nazis, the crew of the American submarine U.S.S. Tiger Shark comes to believe that their vessel is haunted. The unexpected death of their commander forces first officer
Lt. Brice (
Bruce Greenwood) to take command, trying to avoid a German destroyer on the hunt for his ship, while investigating the series of mysterious incidents that are terrifying his crew. Is the Tiger Shark haunted, or is there something otherworldly inhabiting the waters where the sailors are currently trapped? Originally entitled "Proteus," this project was slated to be
Aronofsky's follow-up to
Pi (1998), but the writer/director opted to helm
Requiem for a Dream (2000) instead.
Below co-stars
Scott Foley,
Zach Galifianakis,
Dexter Fletcher, and
Holt McCallany.
