Well, it is known as a "trash" movie, but is (still) shocking, scary, creppy...It used to be in the TV in my country (Brazil), I used to love it (I was a teenager)! Nowadays it can be seen in YOUTUBE (still in TV in other countries?), and I prefer watching in the "native" language! I´d like to see the "set" of this film (photos, goofs)...<br /><br />Thanx,<br />Rodrigo Rosa.<br /><br />rodrigo.arte@yahoo.com.brAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-60111709211938266332008-08-11T19:43:00.000-04:002008-08-11T19:43:00.000-04:00Yayyyyy!

I haven't seen this great film since my HBO 80s late-nights, but I was fascinated by its combination of badness and true scarifyingness. Doesn't Kate Reid get burned or something and her whole face gets puffed up. And Nick Mancuso falling into the Nazi remains is pretty great. I forgot if Saul Rubinek gets it...uh...in the neck, but he should have. Death to everyone on the Death Ship! And I remember Kennedy yelling quite a bit--a horror unto itself. Fun stuff!!

The two kids and the LifeBigRedBox are the only things remaining from Disney's contribution as the film was originally set on Disney's BigRedBoat. Imagine how much cooler DEATH SHIP would have been with its originally intended cast, including Fred MacMurray in George Kennedy's role, Dean Jones in Richard Crenna's part and a guy with an enormous Goofy head in the third male role!Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768886260813823765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-26874777401219262622008-06-20T19:14:00.000-04:002008-06-20T19:14:00.000-04:00I have a guilty sort of love for GHOST SHIP, but i...I have a guilty sort of love for GHOST SHIP, but it still doesn't deserve to sail in the same waters as DEATH SHIP.
