The scary story is about a Demeter ship carrying 50 wooden crates from Carpathia to London.

Strange events occur to the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a ruthless presence onboard the ship.

When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.

“Kong: Skull Island” Trailers

Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Kong: Skull Island is being touted as reimagining the origin of the mythic Kong in an interesting, original adventure. I must admit, how can a remake (or reimagining) be original. If it is original, then don’t call it a Kong movie.

In the film, a diverse team explores an uncharted island in the Pacific, which is as beautiful as it is treacherous.  But as they venture deeper into the unknown, they are unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.

The movie stars Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Jing Tian, Toby Kebbell, John Ortiz, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Shea Whigham, Thomas Mann, Terry Notary, and John C. Reilly.

The screenplay is by Dan Gilroy, who wrote one of the Bourne movies, and Max Borenstein, who wrote Godzilla, story by John Gatins and Dan Gilroy.
