Description:
A suspense thriller about a husband and wife, recovering from a personal tragedy, who encounter a stranger while cruising their boat in the Pacific and become ensnared in a drama of mystery, high emotions and extreme danger.
Amazon.com essential video:
There are several occasions when this rousing Australian thriller from 1987 should have ended with a well-placed shot from a speargun or a stronger knot of rope, but you don't think about these nit-picky details when you're being scared out of your wits. In a role that catapulted her to international stardom, Nicole Kidman plays a young wife who's joined her husband (Sam Neill) on a yachting trip to recover from the tragic death of their son. Far out to sea, they encounter a sinking ship with one survivor (Billy Zane, ten years before Titanic), but inviting him aboard turns out to be a very bad mistake. While Neill attempts to salvage the sinking boat, Kidman is fighting for her life against the psychotic Zane--a villain so creepy that you eagerly look forward to his demise. By the time that moment arrives director Phillip Noyce has resorted to a typical slasher-movie climax (proving that no boat should be without a flare gun), but until then Dead Calm is a nail-biting thriller that's guaranteed to keep you in a state of nail-biting suspense. To accommodate the widescreen compositions on the open ocean, the DVD offers the film in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio. --Jeff Shannon

Dead Calm,
A thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from begining to end.
Rating: -
This is a well-done suspense thriller, small, very competent cast. Good direction. Sam Neil and Nicole Kidman do a terrific job. The photography is a bit uninspired, but consistent throughout.

I didn't know what to expect out of this film, if anything much. Though Nicole Kidman, Sam Neil and Billy Zane are all very recognizable actors, this film was set before their rise to stardome. These are not only the three main characters in the film, but after the first 10 minutes, basically the only 3 charcaters in this film. The setting is in seclusion out in the open ocean - 2 small ships. One is the fancy little yaught that the Neil and Kidman characters are vacationing on, and the other, ... Read More
