Uriah43 "Captain Ashland" (George Kennedy) is in command of a cruise ship which is operating in the Atlantic Ocean. He is not a "people person" and because of that he is being replaced after this voyage for a more personable captain by the name of "Trevor Marshall" (Richard Crenna). What neither of them realize is that there is a "ghost ship" also operating in the same waters and it is on a collision course with them. Only 9 people manage to survive the collision and they take shelter on the very ship that killed all of the other passengers. Anyway, rather than reveal the entire story I will just say that, because of some of the top-rate actors involved, I had high expectations for this movie. I was disappointed. Not only was there very little character development, but the special effects were practically non-existent as well. There wasn't much suspense or horror either. As a matter of fact, the only part that was remotely interesting was the shower scene involving "Lori" (Victoria Burgoyne). Everything else was pretty boring. In short, this film had a decent cast to work with. Unfortunately, the people on the other side of the camera weren't nearly as competent. Below average.

PeterMitchell-506-564364 Deathship, kind of like 2002's Ghostship, is a slightly bland horror, that starts off a little slow. A cruise ship is on a collision course, with another ship, obviously the Deathship. The hand full of survivors, includes a bearded Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso, and horror icon, George Kennedy. Out in a dinghy, they come across an old ship, or this wicked, ugly and fascinating ship, comes across them. But this ship, harvests a murderous secret. The survivors that board the ship, one of them dies before doing so, start to be picked off, one of them falls into a fish net of human skulls. Another can't get out a shower, where the water becomes blood red, another watches a film she shouldn't have, and another eats something she shouldn't have. Kennedy, the quiet captain of the other ship, who doesn't like crowds, is the raving psycho behind ship's secret. Made in 1980, Deathship, is o.k. horror, one flick, the horror viewer has to be patient with. Some gore scenes are worth the wait, though the movie seems to missing a little of something. That awry eerie music score is fantastic in a film just above par.

vforvirulence This has the most gratuitous shower "blood-booby" scene imaginable - everything that Terror Tuesday should be.Over twenty years on, it was as atmospheric as I recalled from watching it as a teenager on the late Saturday night horror shows, and whilst a tad predictable after years of horror-enjoyment, some of the scenes such as the frozen locker of bodies and the 'interrogation room' still gave me jitters.This film is so different to much contemporary horror, creating an atmosphere of tension instead of showering us in blood. I love the gore, but atmosphere is a prerequisite, and this film showcases how well it can be done. Not to mention the blood covered tatas !

Clare Burke I love this film. It was always on the TV at 3am in winter. I remember getting home many times after a night out and frightening myself stupid watching it. it's a never let you down scary flick. In my top ten horror flicks for sure. I was just watching the film 'Triangle' and 'Death Ship' came back to me. The shower scene was horrific! I don't think I recognise any of the actors but the film stays with you all the same. Good old fashioned film making. No over the top special effects, just a genuine good horror story. Chilling. It kind of reminds of the film 'Duel'. Maybe because of it's simplicity. My brother is a horror film nut and this one really had him bricking it. Ha. WOuld love to watch it again now that I'm 30...
