DEATH SHIP
Canadian/UK horror directed by Alvin Rakoff in 1980
Cast: George Kennedy, Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso, Kate Reid
Label: Nucleus Films (UK)
http://www.nucleusfilms.com
Price: £10.99

On a deadly cruise ship in the Caribbean the only seven survivors are trapped on a ghost ship heading to the unknown. They have to face "something" that wants to destroy them all in a really gruesome way.

An atmospheric & scary in places horror film with evil spirits (is the ship alive?), voices in the heads and horrible visions, a hook on a head, a shower that switches water to blood - the best scene!, good acting, excellent electronic soundtrack...A really cool horror flick !!

Marc Morris and Jake West’s Nucleus Films released a great DVD with a very nice transfer of the film and tons of interesting extras - on top is their project "Stormy Seas: The Journey from Blood Star to Death Ship" B)

I would recommend this film as well as the excellent uncut Nucleus release of Gwendoline(which restores the previously cut sexual violence & a nunchaku scene) and their Grindhouse Trailer volumes.

Well worth a watch, i first saw it in the mid 80's on tv, i hadn't seen it since and was pleasantly surprised at how well the film stood up.
