Mad Max Minute - Dead Calm (1989)

After spending two years dissecting the movie touted as Mad Max on the ocean, it’s time to sit down with the high seas horror thriller from Kennedy Miller productions. John (Sam Neill) and Rae (Nicole Kidman) are a married couple taking an extended cruise to emotionally heal after losing their child in a car accident. Their isolation is interrupted by Hughie (Billy Zane), who claims to be the traumatized survivor of a botulism outbreak. When John decides to investigate his claims, Hughie takes control of the ship and kidnaps Rae. Now it’s up to John and Rae to work in parallel to subdue Hughie and survive Hughie’s sinking schooner.
