Dead Calm
Originally released: 1989
Eerie thriller which, despite its tiny cast, never feels stagy or slow. Neill and Kidman sail into the blue yonder to forget their daughter's death. They take a man (Zane) on board from a drifting ship. He separates them – sending Neill to discover what happened to the ghost ship – and tortures them. Kidman is stunning in every sense: she glows against the Caribbean backdrop, and she exhibits an iron will that puts her a cut above the usual thriller victim. Every inch a winner – and definitely not one to watch alone on a dark night.
