BURBANK, CA; October 3, 2007 – Can nightmares reach from the land into the sea? Is justice for the dead strictly land-locked? Renowned Japanese horror director Norio Tsuruta (
Ringu O, Premonition) charts man's primal fear of the ocean and drowning with his unique

Adapted from a short story by the legendary Japanese horror novelist Koji Suzuki, "Dream Cruise" stars Daniel Gillies (

Audition, The Grudge). When the trio embark on a sunset boat trip, the stage is set for a tragic showdown between those who love and those who will kill to keep what is theirs.
