Death Ship (1980)

When an ocean liner is struck by a mysterious freighter, a handful of survivors adrift at sea board the ship. But the abandoned ship, which was used as a torture ship by Nazis during WWII, has a mind of its own and attempts to systematically kill the survivors one by one. One of the most inept horror films I've seen, so crudely edited that you one might think they used a cleaver. For example, a husband (Richard Crenna) and wife (Sally Ann Howes, CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG) are in the ballroom when the freighter strikes while their two children (Jennifer McKinney, Danny Higham) are below in their cabin. The freighter strikes (the sequence is pretty tacky looking) and the next scene shows the few survivors in a lifeboat including the parents and children with no explanation of how the parents managed to retrieve the children! Meanwhile, once aboard, several of them discover an old projector and decide to watch an old B&W movie. Yeah, that's what you do when you've been stranded without food or water on the high seas. Once you get aboard a ghostly freighter, you watch old movies! Then there's the cruise ship's captain (George Kennedy) becomes possessed by some demon (a Nazi?). It's a mess! Directed by Alvin Rakoff. With Kate Reid (ATLANTIC CITY), Nick Mancuso and Saul Rubinek.
