This is a movie I was searching for pretty hard. Mainly for its amazing cover. I know you can’t always judge a movie by its cover but this one one is especially great and hard to find on DVD. I know there are some foreign releases but as far as I know nothing out there in the US for Deathship on DVD just this VHS from Embassy Home Entertainment. I got this particular tape from eBay for about 10 bucks including the shipping which is a very good deal considering the $25 and $40 + prices I have been seeing on eBay for this same tape. Horror VHS prices have been sky rocketing lately and I and feel pretty damn lucky to have snagged this one for such a good price.
This movie was pretty great in my opinion. I am really into possessed haunted house type movies and a possessed haunted ship is just as great. Basically what we have here is a creepy ship lurking the ocean that attacks a cruise ship. The few survivors from the cruise ship attack end up stranded in the ocean on a raft and eventually end up being rescued, or so they think, onto a mysterious black ship. A DEATHSHIP which kind of sneaks up them believe it or not.
The Deathship doesn’t make it easy for the its new passengers as they search through the ship to find out its abandoned. Almost immediately upon arrival on the Deathship one of the survivors is hurled into the ocean by some ropes and killed in a freak accident. Right away we know that this is caused by this sneaky ship and once by one it attempts to take out the remaining survivors. Not only is the ship killing but we find out that the captain of the cruise ship is slowly transforming into a possessed mad man.
Personally I don’t like to be a spoiler so I wont go into to many more plot details. This movie while bizarre dose not really have the most detailed plot which is fine in my book. What I will say is that this movie has an awesome killer boat, guns, death (as expected by the title), blood, annoying kids, crazy boat captains, strange candy, and they even throw some Nazis in it!
My favorite scene in the movie which is probably the creepiest part is when one of the female characters goes psychotic and screams for her life as she gets trapped in a shower that is spraying blood all over her. That scene was worth the movie for sure.
I recommend this movie for any horror fan, while its not the best one out there I think it is defiantly a must see, especially with its limited availability. watch it and find out why in the hell this ship is so pissed off!
