Unbeknown to the passengers on board a cruise ship in the Caribbean, a mysterious vessel is approaching on a collision course. Despite the attempts of the crew to avert disaster, the liner is lost with all hands down, except for seven survivors. They are saved when they clamber aboard a ghostly freighter where they discover an even worse fate. They are now prisoners on a former wartime vessel. As this ship speeds towards an unknown destination, they realise that something is intent on destroying each one of them in a gruesome and terrifying way. From an original story by Hollywood legend Jack Hill (COFFY, FOXY BROWN, SWITCHBLADE SISTERS) and starring none other than George Kennedy (COOL HAND LUKE, THE DIRTY DOZEN) and Richard Crenna (FIRST BLOOD) comes the long-awaited UK DVD premiere of DEATH SHIP. Unseen in the UK since 1983, this deranged horror film is now widely regarded as a must-see cult classic!

15 out of 100 Time reduces the horror
Fergal from Galway, 04 Sep 2007
Unfortunately, the only reason someone would want to see this is for nostalgic reasons .. to see how scary a typical horror film was back in the late '70's/early '80's .. i.e. not very scary at all. I do remember seeing the trailer for this back in '83 on a video rental shop's in-store TV (advertising hot movies of the day) .. and the trailer alone, I thought, was terrifying. Still though, there are *some* little moments to be found (e.g. the shot of the captain, looking all Nazi on deck).

I will not waste my time on a lengthy tirade avoid at all costs this will rob you of just over an hour of your life there is much better things to do than watch this like bungee jumping with cheese wire.

please get rid of this movie from your otherwise excellent collection, my 4 year old daughter could have watched it and not batted an eyelid, not scary at all.

30 out of 100 not bad
gerard from Dublin, 28 Sep 2007
I like the old horrors and ghost stories like the hammer horrors and the changeling so i thought this would be right up my street but i was a little disappointed.There wasnt enough scares in this movie for me but it still wasnt too bad.There is a good cast in it and i liked the idea of the film but i think the updated version (ghost ship) with Gabriel Byrne is a bit better.
