tonight's feature: Death Ship (1980) on Prime
What happens when an unfortunately haunted WW2 German torture ship tries to kill a bunch of cruise ship passengers with a massive boat collision? Sea murders. After floating on a raft for days, hours, or maybe less, the survivors drift next to the empty but still working, rusted-out vessel and find the magically lowered ladder to board. The Death Ship wastes no time trying to kill these interlopers and a variety of deaths await them.
The Death Ship eventually takes over and possesses the delirious, surviving captain. After strangling some passengers and yelling in German, he says the ship needs blood, but it kills one chick in a shower scene using a lot of said blood. There are tons of bodies to discover in the torture rooms as well as some nicely preserved dead soldiers in a giant freezer. The Death Ship also might force you to watch terrible German government propaganda videos until you go insane. Paradoxically, the captain will throw you overboard if you don't want to leave, OR might shoot you if you do decide to leave. The captain also gets super mad when the ship ultimately won't do what he wants and starts shooting it up with all the guns. Tragically he falls like a cornhole bag into the bottom of the engine room and gets ripped apart in some giant gears... because the Death Ship takes zero shit. After the world's most annoying kids escape with their mom and dad, the Death Ship goes after and rams some other ship. The End. Thankfully no sequel, although I'm shocked Hollywood hasn't already tried. 5 giant nets full of human remains out of 10. Favorite line: "Get in there you bitch!"
