This is a Sad Thing
July 3, 2026
This is the trailer for a movie that came out several years ago, but I just found out about it. Old hands will recognize the boat - it is the famous SEEKER. From IMDB:
Four best friends from boarding school decide to attend a massive blow-out High School graduation party on Block Island. After missing the last ferry they decide to hire a fishing boat to take them on what should be a simple journey. What they get is the trip from hell, with a captain and his first mate that have no intention of taking the kids to Block Island, putting them into a fight to survive and to simply make it back to land ... any land.
The film DEAD SOUND is a horrible cheap exploitation flick that is not worth watching. The boat does not look in great shape either - it is gutted and filled with garbage. On the plus side, the boat was still in the water and running, which is better than rotting away on blocks.
In fact, looking at Gary Gentile's goody bag, I don't think it kept them out at all.
