I'm 47 years old Japanese. When I was in elementary school, I watched this movie on TV while I was home alone. I had forgotten most of the story, but I clearly remember the dark atmosphere that permeated the entire movie and the horror of the black sea. In particular, the scene where a man falls into a live fish warehouse and dies along with a skeleton was shocking for young children. I couldn't remember the title of the movie for a long time, but luckily TH-cam guided me. Thank you for letting me watch this movie. It brought back memories of my childhood.
Despite what the critics say, this film isn't so bad. It's a humble, low budget, imaginative, interesting, horror film. It's stood the test of time & is now being rediscovered & appreciated. Can't believe the millions of views & positive comments this film has received, It's great that the horror movie fans ignored the stuck up know-it-all critics who hated this film & who wanted everyone else to hate it too.
not even a horror fan. think i got it recommended because i watch brick immortar / safety review/audits of naval disasters. i watched it anyway and i really thought it was pretty good! critics probably get bored because they want to be entertained constantly so they don't have any time to listen to their own thoughts. this film had lots of moodbuilding time to just pause and think. that's probably why they had a bad experience. their thoughts suck.
@@spilledbitch I hate how the critics praise high end films & try to bury fun little horror movies like DEATH SHIP (or the FRIDAY THE 13TH films) with either bad reviews or no reviews at all - ignoring the films altogether. Fortunately people are smart, have minds of their own, & go over the critics heads.
You want something really depressing about how critics mess things up for everyone, take a look at the Hudson Hawk page on Wikipedia. To me, one of Bruce Willis' best films, something original from the rest of his stuff, for the most part, and it shows he made a public apology to people over it, just because it wasn't another Die Hard, or the like. Update: Just looked at the site, myself, again, and looks like they removed that little tidbit, unless I'm missing it somewhere, but, used to be on the page.
Deathship was shot in 1979 and released in 1980.The movie is not well known today,but it was in my childhood long ago.I'm happy to see that both old and new people watch Deathship this time on TH-cam some for the first time. Some of the sinking scenes wore taken from the 1960 movie:The last voyage.
Death ship was shot in 1979 and released in 1980.I watched this movie for the first time back in 1991 on an VHS rental tape,one of very many rental VHS movies. What a nice time I had back in the early 90's watching movies and Tv shows e.t.c.
Well I watch Ghost ship and man I got to tell you something the opening scene was brutal man I couldn't handle it but I'm not going to spoil too much about that movie it starts that chick from ER Juliana margarit that f****** movie was too brutal for me I first saw it on mystery recap then I wouldn't watch the full movie I will say this spoiler alert the black brother thought he was going to get some Italian p****
@Per Apelman. Yes, I agree!! The '90's was a awesome time period, for me, also 😁!! My wife (then girlfriend) would watch, continuous sci-fi/horror, films (alot more channels then, had special spook nights, festivals)!! Wonderful memories 👍! Also still have to this day, a LARGE collection of films, I accumulated from back, then 😉!!
@@guthabanglasdash8641 Did you know that "GHOSTSHIP", was actually a remake? The original came out, in 1942-43. It's about a couple who purchase a haunted, schooner⛵. It's not 'over--the--top' scary, but worth the time🕰️!!
I remember meeting George Kennedy at an event called Autographica. I took my copy of Deathship on dvd to get signed. I think it wasn't long after then he passed away.
George Kennedy always delivered a strong performance, even B movies was worth watching if he had a part in them. This movie ive heard of but not seen until now, thanks for sharing this horror movie Death Ship.
The movie is even more eerie when you think of the might of the evil Nazis and all the atrocities during WW2. The torture chamber, the hung frozen bodies, the skeletons in the net, all of these are for real during that time.
My first time watching this. I worked in a video store years ago putting up movies. I’ll never forget always seeing the cover of this movie in the horror section.
I used to watch this Classic Horror moviein the 1980s when I was a Kid ❤, It would pop up on a Weird Station Back then, love it! Thank you for posting this to TH-cam ❤
Hi, I heard about this movie when i was 6 years old. My grandma used to make me afraid with this movie. 😂 and today i am finally watching it. I am super excited. I'm 21 years old. And watching on August 25 2024❤❤. Please like my comment 🎉🎉❤❤
woaw, really good, 4me, one of the great classics, never disrespect a ghost, born in 57, watched thousands of movies, at first it was Video 2000, so VHS, Beta, cd, dvd, bd, i'm grateful be born in this times, but many i miss, from the older time, the most westerns, and others, John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Gary Grant, Bob Hope, Laurel & Hardy, Rex Harrison, Lesley Caron, MM, and so on, thousands, they now on the other side, and the musicals, Fred Astair, Gene Kelly, Dean Martin, and hundred more, don't even remember all their names, so long ago, wish we could go back, at last to the 50th, and thaks for this movie, a masterpiece.
This is a legendary horror film, very creepy and scary....George Kennedy was excellent...very underrated actor...who also starred in comedy very funny too.
Very eerie when you think of the might and power of the evil Nazis and all their atrocities during WW2. The torture chamber, the hung frozen bodies, the skeletons in the net, all of these are for real during that time.
I think the most explicit and horrorful scenes had been cut in this version: 1. The scene showing the full disfigured face of the old woman. 2 The blood shower. 3. The captain throwing the bloody corpse of the young lady. I came here for those scenes but I go home disappointed...
A surprisingly good low budget simple fairly straightforward film with a well selected cast and a inexpensive plot. What I can't quite figure out so far (36:57) is, is the ship itself doing these things, or are the cast surrounded by invisible ghosts who are doing it. Possibly inspired by William Hope Hodgeson's sea stories.
I've been looking for this for a long time, thank you!!! I watched this in early 2000s as a kid. I remember we could rent DVDs and VHS back then and this was one of the movies I watched with my cousins.
I have this flick 😁 BUT, it's on VHS 😟………………… I saw it when it first, came out, then the last time was around 1994. George Kennedys' in it, can't go wrong there😉! Also Nick Mancuso, who was about to start his own, TV show "STINGRAY"!! Anybody recall, that? He was a private, eye 👁️, who drives a '67-68, stingray (what else 🤔)!! It only lasted a season, and a half 📺.
You have to admit that George Kennedy is diversified, being the captain of doomed vehicles both in the air and at sea...not to mention his expertise on land with big earthquakes! 😀
I don't know why am here.. i searched for something and the ghosts took me here 🤣🤣🤣 watched the movie in first time. A decent horror movie of the past ages. Am sure the music, llow lights, background scores.. might made everyone scary in the old days. Now not much. Suspense less horror movie that made me surprise. 👍
Need to take mine for a drive tomorrow now. Haven't driven it for months. Probably one of the nicest one left. First owner did take amazing care of it. It's the later one with drive by wire and some other stuff that they changed in the end. Air suspension and full leather interior, together with a very nice sound system makes it a nice drive 😊
Richard Crenna, one of my favorite actors !!! They say in real life he was a really nice person. Well id be to with knowing who He commanded in Vietnam for three years.
This is quite a creepy film really. I realise it is dated now but a good ghost story back then. I never understood, why the woman eats a sweet from the jar, which has been there for how long???
Maybe it was done in order for the old man to get to his feet again...because if u realised its after she ate that sweet then the man gain strength out of his sick bed
I remember seeing this on the movie rack every time I'd go to the video store when I was 13 back in the 80's. The VHS box always fascinated me but I never saw the movie, until now, now that im 52 years old!! Not as bad as I thought it would be, haha!!
I'd have to agree! While my initial review for the film was negative, I watched it again and now I praise Rakoff's direction, Slaney's score, Kennedy's and Creena's performance and the cinematograghy! I'll give this film a new "B" grade since it's pretty good to be honest!
Not too bad for a old movie. I suppose this film was made in the 70s. 25 years after the war ended it was still a fresh memory at this time. But what most of the comment says it was interesting since the beginning of the movie. Compare to new US movies where they are always talking for saying nothing.
I remember seeing the poster for this film on billboards and bus stops when I was a little kid. Never watched it though. I just remember the skull ship. I thought Ghost Ship was a remake of this because the posters are similar. I'm glad I finally get to watch it after over 40 years.
Been a fan of this movie since I was 12 (about 12 years ago). I suspect that the real life prototype for the ship in this movie may have been the German auxiliary cruiser/merchant raider Kormoran. But the actual freighter they used for the film was an American ship called the Maurine K, built in 1965, and scrapped in 1986.
How do you, as a 24 year old, know the name of the ship and when it was built? It looks like a late 50s to early 60s ship to me. There were no “bulk carrier” freighters, which this is, during WWII. An auxiliary cruiser would make more sense, along with Ashland wearing that badge instead of a U-Boat badge.
@@Komet163B I mean, I wouldn't have to be born in the 50s to know the name of the ship. I'm a ship enthusiast, and I've done my research. The ship you see in the movie was built in 1965. And she was called Maurine K at the time of filming this movie. But I was saying that what inspired the idea for the movie's fictional ship (not how it looks, but its actual purpose) was the German ship Kormoran. She was a freighter built in 1938, and converted to an auxiliary cruiser/merchant raider (a ship that disguises itself as a cargo ship to raid other ships) when the war started.
@@transatlanticnostalgia4655 The ship was poorly maintained and had a hard life for being only 15 years old when the movie was released. You can see in most of the scenes it’s not even moving. Instead a camera boat is moving around it to try to make it look like it can move under its own power. They refer to it as an interrogation/torture ship which is pure fiction/fantasy from the script writer. Being an auxiliary cruiser/raider was not “evil” enough for their story. It’s kind of a Shock Waves rip off, replacing the Nazi zombies with Nazi ghosts. Though Shock Waves also had a freighter ghost ship. The ship wreck seen in that movie I’ve heard of, and still exists, unlike this Maurine ship, which your the only person that seems to know anything about it. You probably know the name of the ship that the German order telegraph belongs to. And it’s interesting that a British/Canadian production used a dilapidated American vessel in their film. If the Death Ship were to have actually attempted to ram a cruise ship, it most likely would’ve resulted in the sinking of the Death Ship, instead of the cruise ship.
Same happened to me I was with my mother and my grandmother and all of us were terrorized we didn’t slept for the following two nights after watching the movie and had nightmares for more than a month.
@@rogerrendzak8055 now I’m ready to watch it, plus that’s the censored version, at that time when I was young I definitely wasn’t ready to watch it. Nor was ready to watch it my mom and my grandma.
There's a few things that you probably have noticed It was a German World War II freighter, probably had a time or two used in the Kriegsmarine, lived a relatively anticlimactic life. When the crew of the ocean liner picks up the echo of the approaching ghost ship on their radar, the close-up of the ship's radar imagery is a reverse-image video clip of the fog-covered "Skull Island", taken from King Kong (1976). The footage showing the movement of the Death Ship was the result of filming from a small boat moving around it. The crew shot for about an hour before the Death Ship broke down. The rest of the required shots were achieved by faking movement, as the broken down vessel was anchored and stationary. As the ghost ship collided with the cruise liner, brief scenes of an explosion, a grand piano falling between decks, and the engine room flooding were cut in. These scenes were from The Last Voyage (1960). When first looking in the bathroom there is a pin-up photo on the wall. The photo is of actress Betty Grable. The black and white musical film shown on the death ship is Everything Is Rhythm (1936).
@1:19:21 The DEATH SHIP is still out there.. Cruising the vast oceans, as it hunts for new victims, for all eternity. Its thirst for blood🩸, never ending..
Made in 1980? I would've guessed 1960 from the manner of speech, and behavior of the cast. Interesting plot, something like that has been in other films with variations on that theme, most notably "Ghost Ship". I'm thinking the engine was steam powered, but it may have been a Diesel since there wasn't a boiler room shown, but who knows.
The film has a foreign quality to it like it sounds dubbed but you must not know much about 1960 vs 1980, there were no cruise ships with Discos on them for example 20 years earlier. Go watch a few movies from 1960 and get back.
I watched and recorded this pic, back in the mid-90's!! It's a 'GHOSTSHIP', long before "GHOSTSHIP"!! "DEATH SHIP" is NOT, the first movie ever made, about a haunted ship/boat!! Actually the original is "THE GHOSTSHIP", from 1942-43. It's about a couple who purchase a schooner, that's haunted. Not very scary, but an interesting ghost 👻, story, and worth viewing 👀!! That's the first one, of the genre. Then this. …………One particular note though. Humorous or not, isn't it coincidental, that a WWll German freighter (even though, it was obviously constructed, later ), picks up a group of people, but the first one it knocks off, is the Jewish, guy (Saul Rubinek)🤔…………?
If anyone in this movie ever won an Oscar 🏆 for anything at all they should give it back. The ship deserves an Oscar 👏. Its acting was better than all of the actors combined.
George Kennedy rightfully won an Oscar for best supporting actor in Cool Hand Luke (Paul Newman should have got one for best actor, but for some reason that will forever remain a mystery, he didn’t). Watch his performance in that, and then rethink your statement.
@@tommyhemlock7915Loads of idiots in the comments think this is the worst movie they’ve ever seen. They obviously haven’t seen a really bad movie, with really bad acting. There are hundreds of movies far, far, far worse than this one.

Not too bad for a old movie. I suppose this film was made in the 70s. 25 years after the war ended it was still a fresh memory at this time. But what most of the comment says it was interesting since the beginning of the movie. Compare to new US movies where they are always talking for saying nothing.
It was released in 1980
We thank you so much for the movie ❤
I remember seeing the poster for this film on billboards and bus stops when I was a little kid. Never watched it though. I just remember the skull ship. I thought Ghost Ship was a remake of this because the posters are similar. I'm glad I finally get to watch it after over 40 years.

How are you doing
Aku suka film ini.
Dulu nonton di TV 😊
Un bel film godibile fino alla fine
Been a fan of this movie since I was 12 (about 12 years ago). I suspect that the real life prototype for the ship in this movie may have been the German auxiliary cruiser/merchant raider Kormoran. But the actual freighter they used for the film was an American ship called the Maurine K, built in 1965, and scrapped in 1986.
How do you, as a 24 year old, know the name of the ship and when it was built? It looks like a late 50s to early 60s ship to me. There were no “bulk carrier” freighters, which this is, during WWII. An auxiliary cruiser would make more sense, along with Ashland wearing that badge instead of a U-Boat badge.
@@Komet163B I mean, I wouldn't have to be born in the 50s to know the name of the ship. I'm a ship enthusiast, and I've done my research. The ship you see in the movie was built in 1965. And she was called Maurine K at the time of filming this movie. But I was saying that what inspired the idea for the movie's fictional ship (not how it looks, but its actual purpose) was the German ship Kormoran. She was a freighter built in 1938, and converted to an auxiliary cruiser/merchant raider (a ship that disguises itself as a cargo ship to raid other ships) when the war started.
@@transatlanticnostalgia4655 The ship was poorly maintained and had a hard life for being only 15 years old when the movie was released. You can see in most of the scenes it’s not even moving. Instead a camera boat is moving around it to try to make it look like it can move under its own power. They refer to it as an interrogation/torture ship which is pure fiction/fantasy from the script writer. Being an auxiliary cruiser/raider was not “evil” enough for their story. It’s kind of a Shock Waves rip off, replacing the Nazi zombies with Nazi ghosts. Though Shock Waves also had a freighter ghost ship. The ship wreck seen in that movie I’ve heard of, and still exists, unlike this Maurine ship, which your the only person that seems to know anything about it. You probably know the name of the ship that the German order telegraph belongs to. And it’s interesting that a British/Canadian production used a dilapidated American vessel in their film. If the Death Ship were to have actually attempted to ram a cruise ship, it most likely would’ve resulted in the sinking of the Death Ship, instead of the cruise ship.

I'm thinking Event Horizon may have been inspired by this? Thoughts?
Great movie ! Remember seeing movies like this when I was a kid.
Same happened to me I was with my mother and my grandmother and all of us were terrorized we didn’t slept for the following two nights after watching the movie and had nightmares for more than a month.

Wow! Forty-two years ago. That's even more time than the end of WWII and the making of this movie. Damn, I feel old.

The reason is that you are "Old".

Enjoying , to this move have save it to my playlist and George Kennedy is always giving great performance... nice cast also
There's a few things that you probably have noticed
It was a German World War II freighter, probably had a time or two used in the Kriegsmarine, lived a relatively anticlimactic life.
When the crew of the ocean liner picks up the echo of the approaching ghost ship on their radar, the close-up of the ship's radar imagery is a reverse-image video clip of the fog-covered "Skull Island", taken from King Kong (1976).
The footage showing the movement of the Death Ship was the result of filming from a small boat moving around it. The crew shot for about an hour before the Death Ship broke down. The rest of the required shots were achieved by faking movement, as the broken down vessel was anchored and stationary. As the ghost ship collided with the cruise liner, brief scenes of an explosion, a grand piano falling between decks, and the engine room flooding were cut in. These scenes were from The Last Voyage (1960).
When first looking in the bathroom there is a pin-up photo on the wall. The photo is of actress Betty Grable.
The black and white musical film shown on the death ship is Everything Is Rhythm (1936).
Thanks a million for the miscellaneous facts; they're really interesting, esp the subtle imagery ones! ☠️
Whatever, still it's a great movie.
Why and how do you know all of this and are you sure it’s a German freighter because I looked it up and there was no such design
@@freightersonthegreatlakes995 It was listed in the movie trivia sourced from IMDB
Yeah I noticed the radar image was an island and not a ship but it was King Kong's Island and yeah I thought it was funny.
This was a very good movie I must say.
Thank you ☺️ nice movie I've never seen it before ☺️
👌❤
Omg, this was the 1st movie I saw alone. My friend did not turn up so I went in to watch on my own. I was 15.
Remember seeing this character's death scene @24:25 on tv as a kid back in the 80's...it haunted me for years!
Yeah it's a real foreskin-thanker
My first time watching this movie❤
@1:19:21 The DEATH SHIP is still out there.. Cruising the vast oceans, as it hunts for new victims, for all eternity. Its thirst for blood🩸, never ending..
I love seeing movies on TH-cam, but only if I can escape in the comments, who is with me?😊

I liked it.... takes you back in time (1980) decent
This was a pretty good creepy movie ! Good acting and all and storyline.
Made in 1980? I would've guessed 1960 from the manner of speech, and behavior of the cast. Interesting plot, something like that has been in other films with variations on that theme, most notably "Ghost Ship". I'm thinking the engine was steam powered, but it may have been a Diesel since there wasn't a boiler room shown, but who knows.
The film has a foreign quality to it like it sounds dubbed but you must not know much about 1960 vs 1980, there were no cruise ships with Discos on them for example 20 years earlier. Go watch a few movies from 1960 and get back.
Honestly
Interesting flic... Spooky and thrilling.Enjoyed a lot.
A must watch... ❤❤❤❤❤
A good and imaginative eighties horror film thanks for posting.
I watched and recorded this pic, back in the mid-90's!! It's a 'GHOSTSHIP', long before "GHOSTSHIP"!! "DEATH SHIP" is NOT, the first movie ever made, about a haunted ship/boat!! Actually the original is "THE GHOSTSHIP", from 1942-43. It's about a couple who purchase a schooner, that's haunted. Not very scary, but an interesting ghost 👻, story, and worth viewing 👀!! That's the first one, of the genre. Then this.
…………One particular note though. Humorous or not, isn't it coincidental, that a WWll German freighter (even though, it was obviously constructed, later ), picks up a group of people, but the first one it knocks off, is the Jewish, guy (Saul Rubinek)🤔…………?
Watchable movie. With love from India
love the poster for this movie
Very nice movie .... Great thanks
If anyone in this movie ever won an Oscar 🏆 for anything at all they should give it back. The ship deserves an Oscar 👏. Its acting was better than all of the actors combined.
George Kennedy rightfully won an Oscar for best supporting actor in Cool Hand Luke (Paul Newman should have got one for best actor, but for some reason that will forever remain a mystery, he didn’t). Watch his performance in that, and then rethink your statement.
@@tommyhemlock7915Loads of idiots in the comments think this is the worst movie they’ve ever seen. They obviously haven’t seen a really bad movie, with really bad acting. There are hundreds of movies far, far, far worse than this one.
