Death Ship (1980)
5/10
Worth one look for fans of ghost and ghost ship flicks
17 March 2019
This movie is more slow-moving than necessary, and marred by a climax which is mundane and action-oriented rather than in keeping with the ghostly plot that precedes it. There is a pretty decent pre-climax sequence in the last 12 minutes or so.

They also make reasonably good use of a set which appears to consist of an actual derelict cargo ship. They did not, however, incorporate a particularly effective or creepy score, and failed to make use of the kinds of sound effects that would have made the set even more effective. It's all a half-hearted effort, but worth a look for fans of ghost ship flicks and ghost movies in general. (FYI, I caught the uncut version on Tubi, through my Roku.)
