I definetly remember this movie back in the early 80"s when I was 13-14 years old and it was quite creepy but well done I thought. Once the difters did board this old creepy ship-all kinds of twists and turn games begin, and they did scare me! the music, scenery, and expressions on the people faces were scary, I thought it was well done without all the blood and gore like todays newer films, I intend to but this video too beacuse Iam a nostalgic junkie for classics like this!

This weird and wacky combination of THE SHINING meets DAS BOOT features
a rusted old Nazi torture vessel that goes around sinking luxury liners and then picking up the survivors to kill them and live off their life force.
Has some rotting corpses on deck and blood but few kills and a cast better suited for Love Boat then Death Ship...Still not awful and much better then
Ghost Ship 1 and half stars.
~~~BLOOD~~~BOTH EXCITING AND NEW~~~~COME ABOARD~~~THEY WILL BE HACKING YOU~

Not bad at all. Death Ship may not be the best horror film out there, but at least it's somewhat of an original horror flick.

I don't usually type reviews but this movie deserves a description.
I'm 85% sure this is the movie I saw a while back but since there's no description, I can't say for sure.
This movie is about some people who come across a huge ship on the ocean or sea.
They decide to board (or are forced to, don't remember which) and find that the ship is temporarily hospitable with running water etc...
Then, situation takes a 180.
The people start seeing images or having flashbacks of terrifying acts they've never been through and people start going MIA (as in most scary movies).
In short, items are found that relate to Nazi Germany warfare, the remaining boarders get freaked out and find out that they're not really welcome to leave...
Like I said, I haven't seen this movie in a long time so my description could be off.
What I do remember is that this movie is good enough to buy if you find it in the $5-$10 range. It's an original story and it was pretty scary. I would rate it 3.5 stars out of five

Time hasn't been kind to this sad sack tale of shipwreck survivors finding a boat floating near them. The boat is the title vessel and the Nazis used it as a torcher ship. Silly plot and poor execution rob what little spark it might have had. Really poor all around
