I more than enjoyed the historical aspect of it (it is the Titanic, after all), but I was disappointed that it fell short in the creep department. Creative, yes, I just was hoping it would be more scary, more haunted, especially for a Halloween selection. I didn't know the story of the sister ship Brittanic, or about the one person to survive both shipwrecks, Violet Jessop. Interesting enough to make me research further into the characters and both maritime tragedies. But if you're looking solely for supernatural creeps, you might want to pass. 3 stars.
