Death Ship

“Those who survive the ghost ship are better off dead!”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 48, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Shipwreck survivors board a deserted vessel whose history is considerably worse than its maintenance record. The rusty atmosphere does some real work, but the sinister machinery and broad performances cannot keep every corridor from feeling very long.
