Underrated and eerie little film about a large cruise liner which sinks after being hit by a Nazi interrogation ship; the hapless survivors are then terrorized aboard said ghost ship.
There are some fun moments to be had; George Kennedy is a ham as the captain who becomes possessed by the vessel's dark spirit.
First mate Crenna is on hand here and delivers a reliable, enjoyable performance.
A mildly atmospheric enterprise that delivers the goods effectively and simply.
No surprise this is exactly the kind of weaker horror often sarcastically maligned by armchair critics. Ignore them, give this a shot and decide for yourself.
