All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Death Ship (1980)

Starring: George Kennedy, Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso, Kate Reid, Sal Rubinek, Sally Ann Howes
Director: Alvin RakoffS

Premise:
An ocean liner sinks at sea. A few survivors manage to escape when they come upon a ship that rescues them. One aboard they find out the ship is abandoned and harbors ties to Nazis.

My Take:
The first half of the movie is a tad slow and it definitely shows its age. But as some of the characters descend into madness and start dying the flick picks up. A strong cast helps the cause.

Rating: In the middle
