	DVD Review - Dead Calm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The fact that "Dead Calm" had me in its grip until its final seconds was proof enough for me that I had not heard the last thing of these actors.
		"Dead Calm" succeeds entirely, and although certain elements are predictable, the film never loses its tight grip and tension and there are more than a few unexpected turns that take viewers by surprise.
		"Dead Calm" was originally shot using anamorphic lenses and film material and given the nature of the film and its location on sea with a clearly defined horizon, barrel distortion that comes with the usage of such anamorphic lenses is evident in certain scenes on this DVD.

	'Dead Calm'
		Nicole Kidman, as the freckled Rae Ingram in the entertaining Australian mystery "Dead Calm," is perhaps the all-time dumbest of the Pandoras.
		"Dead Calm" could be tauter, running with the wind instead of under power.
		"Dead Calm" is rated R for sexual abuse and other forms of violence.

	'Dead Calm'
		Dead Calm," an Australian murder mystery about three people, two boats and too many unanswered questions, grabs the hell out of you but slowly releases its grip.
		But while it's afloat, "Dead Calm" is a majestic horror cruise.
		Zane tells the couple his fellow passengers are dead from botulism, but when Neill rows over to investigate, the stranger commandeers the new ship with Kidman (and the couple's dog) aboard, leaving Neill alone on a sinking ship.

		Before Dead Calm Neill was known for his character roles in A Cry In The Dark and Plenty.
		In Dead Calm as in each film he is in, Neill adds his own unique depth to the character of John Ingram; who encounters gloom throughout the whole film.
		Nicole Kidman was a newcomer to films when she appeared in Dead Calm as Rae Ingram and has since gone on to be one of Australiaâs greatest and well known exports.

	Suspense + Surprise = Dead Calm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Phillip Noyce's Dead Calm (1989) is a masterful Hitchcockian exercise in audience manipulation.
		Within the film's dramatic opening moments, in which the child of Rae (Nicole Kidman) and John (Sam Neill) is killed in a motor accident, Noyce executes a slow dissolve from the heart-wrenching image of a traumatised Kidman to the soothing, calm waters of the Pacific Ocean.
		A dead crew is harboured within his sinking boat - a mystery that John discovers soon after Hughie's acceptance onto Saracen - the boat John shares with Rae.

		Dead Calm wasn’t the best thriller I’ve ever seen, but it was good and I think it was worth watching.

		The key image of "Dead Calm" is of two ships drawing near each other in the middle of a vast, empty expanse of ocean.
		The emotions generated by this shot, near the beginning of the film, underlie everything that follows, making us acutely aware that help is not going to arrive from anywhere, that the built-in protections of civilization are irrelevant and that the characters will have to settle their own destinies.
		And yet "Dead Calm" generates genuine tension, because the story is so simple and the performances are so straightforward.

	Dead Calm - VHS - Title D Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		The first time I was watching Dead Calm, I remember that I was completely engrossed by this menacing thriller.
		Although I was familiar with Sam Neill at the time, mostly from crap performance of Damien in Omen III: The Final Conflict, Dead Calm was the movie that really brought Nicole Kidman and Billy Zane to my attention for the first time.
		Dead Calm is typical of the unrealistic trash that director Phillip Noyce (look at Bone Collector, Patriot Games, Sliver!) usually delivers in that it is completely ludicrous in its ending.

		Australian filmmaker Phillip Noyce directs the film, based on a novel by Charles Williams, with great inventiveness--whether focusing on the tranquil water, the violent Hughie, the resourceful Sam, or the determined Rae with her luminous, translucent blue eyes.
		A suspenseful thriller reminiscent of Roman Polanski's KNIFE IN THE WATER, DEAD CALM is a chilling tale of trouble on the high seas.
		When their intimate sailing vacation is interrupted by the suspicious appearance of a survivor from a sinking pleasure schooner, a husband and wife must use their wits to avoid the same fate.

	Amazon.com: Dead Calm (1989) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The result is "Dead Calm," an intense thriller that will leave you adrift in suspense for 90 minutes.
		Kidman's performance is top notch (future husband Tom Cruise claimed this was the film he saw that made him want her to co-star with him in Days of Thunder) as a fragile wife turned quick witted would-be victim, while Zane is as great as you'd expect him to be in a role like this.
		Though it does drag a bit here and there, Dead Calm is masterfully crafted and one of the best suspense films ever made, and if you're into thrillers and you've never seen this film; well then, you've been missing out.

		One day, adrift in the middle of the dead calm sea, their isolation is interrupted when they spot a schooner in the distance and a distressed man, Hughie (Billy Zane), rowing furiously away from it on a dingy.
		He takes Hughie's dingy and rows out to the sinking vessel, leaving his wife alone with the clearly unstable young man. Hughie, figuring out that his cover is blown, wrestles control of the Saracen out of Rae's hands, kidnapping her and leaving John stranded on the sinking ship with a whole bunch of rotting corpses.
		The only thing scary about Dead Calm is the fact that it was made fourteen years ago and Nicole Kidman doesn't appear to have aged since then.

		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.

		DEAD CALM is a good one.The same story was the basis for one of Orson Welles' "lost" movies,often called THE DEEP (not to be confused with the Peter Benchly book and film).
		It was engrossing, the superb acting jobs helped greatly in my opinion.
		I saw some film a couple of years ago that had almost the same exact plot, was made after Dead Calm, yet wasn't nearly as good.

		Well the duo return again with a release that for me is probably a little more impressive then the aforementioned production, this time appearing on the Silver Planet stable with two tracks that are sure to get solid airplay.
		Beginning early with some big thumping kick drums, smooth atmospheric effects and chirpy melodies are incorporated early, and they soon build into a big deep rolling baseline that gets the track grooving very nicely.
		The beats and low end sounds are perhaps not as devastating as Dead Calm, but the quirky melodies and cheeky guitar hook make it just as uplifting.
