Death Ship - Good Bad Flicks 

For the first five minutes I legitimately thought you were talking about Ghost Ship.

I love a bit of nautical horror. Death Ship, Ghost Ship, Virus and my personal favorite... Deep Rising. Even when the movie is ultra cheesy, the isolation and hopelessness of being stuck on a creepy ship in the middle of the ocean is very unsettling.

Ive always remembered the part where the guy falls in the ships hold with dead rotting bodies in a net. Its has good atmosphere and cast.

I watched Death Ship immediately after watching this. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of it. Awesome flick!

I've said it before, I'm saying it again - there needs to be a new movie rating called MAG for maggots. You can have what ever you want in your movie within reason, just warn people that there will be maggots.

I knew Ghost ship was a remake, but i didn't know it was from this. To be honest this looks WAY scarier and more serious than the one from 2002.

Definitely a keeper in my 400 Blu Ray collection. The scenes of the captain up on the bridge at dusk looking down are iconic.

I saw this on tv when I was a kid in 1980...scared the shit outta me. The blood shower scene stuck with me 40 years later

Would love to see a movie about A Haunted Battleship fueled by the restless souls of dead navy officers, And eventually fights other battleships.

2:18 For an old abandoned haunted ship, that room looks well kept!

You missed the Naked Gun reference: "Swimming in raw sewage...I LOVE IT!"

"......keeps the whole thing afloat" 100 points for that pun!

I remember this movie and especially the net of dead bodies. It's a creepy film.

2:07 : death ship is so sneaky that it can sneak up while it's _at anchor._

I would really love to see you do "Ghost Ship".

4:39 “We are on a boat overtaken by dead Nazis that have possessed the captain! What should we do? ...I think we all know the answer to that one.” *cuts to clip of piston shoving in repeatedly* Me: *dies of laughter*

2:06: Notice what? "Oh, so THAT'S the ship that this anchor immediately to our left goes to!"

Had a very foggy memory of this film and couldn’t place it. Glad I found this! The guy falling into the net with the bodies scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

Late to the party on my comments here but I think that Nick Mancuso's acting in this one is great. The panic of being in the net surrounded by the dead, very believable. Increased my opinion of him as an actor.

I have never seen Death Ship the whole way through, but it has the distinction of being the first ever horror scene that terrified me when I was 6. My parents were changing channels and we came upon the scene with the woman in the shower and the blood coming down and the floor opening up. Freaked me out. The other scene to do the same thing was from The Unseen with Barbara Bach when the woman gets pulled down into the basement.

i have always loved this flick. something horrorifying in the repetitive drone of large machines.

That ship wasted so much blood by not just disabling the other ships and forcing the passengers to board it. Not a forward-thinking ship.

"It was the Nazis, wasn't it?" - Alucard

My sister and I saw Death Ship when it came out in 80. We got a very big kick out of it. We love horror movies!

Always had a soft spot for ghost ship stories. This is one of the better ones.

I had to scratch my head a little wondering what The Switchblade Sisters had to do with the tale of the Flying Dutchman.

Would LOVE to see a video on Thirteen Ghosts or the 1999 adaptation of The Haunting.

No "Everyone gets sliced in half on the dance hall" opening? Oops, wrong ghost ship. 😂

I first saw this on one of the pay channels way back in the 80s. I loved it and tried to catch it any time it was on. Back then the cable companies used to give you a guide that listed the movie schedules for the entire month, so I could plan out when to watch them. In the late 90s, a local channel was playing various movies late at night on the weekends and they showed this a few times. One of those times, they screwed up and aired it uncut. It still had commercial breaks, but they left in the swearing and nudity. I guess they probably got some complaints about it because they never did that again. :)

I watched it a few years ago. Small but charming title. Kennedy and Crenna take it seriously, and some set designs are nice.

04:59 Slayer in a GoodBadFlicks-video?! ...approved! :D

SS stands for steam ship. A sailboat name is prefaced SV for sailing vessel.

3:02 “Damn you sentient evil boat!” Why is this so funny?

3:40 I just love how you say "GHOSTS!"

They can "not NOT SEE" what is going on. +10 points on that pun.

I remember exactly when and where I saw this movie. It was on Saturday, June 14th 1980, at the Neponsett drive-in in Dorchester Massachusetts. It was the opening film of a double feature with Friday the 13th.

Those who survive the ghost ship are better off dead! -A quote from the developers of Mass Effect Andromeda as they survive the failure of their flagship game's failure.

George Kennedy must have inspired the role of the Captain in Jason takes Manhattan.

I am surprised that you didn't pickup on the anchor chain being extended out(2:05), while the ship is supposed to be moving at sea.

saw this on late night tv several times back in the mid to late 80's. Very spooky flick!

There is an obscure British horror film from the early '70's called Death Line. Please do a video on that! Very weird and very creepy!

I used to watch this a lot in the 80's (seemed to be on tv a few times so recorded to vhs). I liked this movie. Always get the crazy, cine camera scene mixed up with Ash in The Evil Dead.

The plot points have a strong Event Horizon vibe.

I've always been a fan of this movie, and the poster art is so awesome!

Nice insert of Friday 3:23 !

This is basically we're 👻🛳️ ghost ship got it's plot from but switched up a few details

5:26. Ladies and Gentlemen. I present to you the pun of the month. *claps slowly*

The band leader played that sociopathic jerk in Star Trek TNG - Most Toys(the one who arranged the kidnapping of Data). He played that part very well.

This looks absolutely awesome. It's gone straight to the top of my 'must see' list!

Got this on BR a few years ago on a lark, knowing nothing about it beforehand. Instant classic in my eyes! Seeing a young Saul Rubinek was great as well. I mainly know him from an episode of ST:TNG and of course Warehouse 13!

Love it when jojo parodied this film

4:58-504 Slayer Raining Blood. THAT. IS. AWESOME!! Great review man. It's been years since I've seen this one. I may have to check it out again, just for the cheesiness. Great video!

This movie reminds me an awful lot of Ghost Ship.

The Jerk Ship Called. They're running out of you. (Seriously though this was one of the funniest ones you've ever made.)

Totally thought this visdeo was about another movie staring a different evil ship with very similar cover art. lol

"Did you think Burnt Offerings had a cool concept? Do you dig evil inanimate objects that people sleep in? Do you think Burnt Offerings needed more water to be perfect? Do you secretly wish that evil structures got a chance to move, instead of just sitting there? I've got just the movie for you!"

"Jackie" was the great Saul Rubinek from Warehouse 13 and a lot of other stuff.

OMG. i have actually seen this one. the lady eating the mint made me remember. seemed scarier when i was a kid lol.

You won't believe this, but that scene with Mrs Morgan's death was something I saw on TV when I was a kid in the 80s. I saw them watching the film (I looked up the scene just now) and then one of the little girl turns around and screams. I saw it up to the sea burial and didn't see it before or after that scene. This memory haunted me and I have been looking for what movie this came from and why she turned into a zombie (or so I remembered it like this). So nice to see that this is the movie. Now I only got to find one more movie, of a murderous dog (german shepherd?) that psychotically killed guerilla fighters in a jungle. Then I can rest.

4:59 RAAAAINING BLOOOOOD!!! You Sir, are truly a man of culture!!!

4:38 made me laugh pretty hard ;)

0:12 Thanks Cecil; now I need a new pair of pants..

4:24 - Rust itself does not cause tetanus, and while it does have the ability to harbour anaerobic bacteria, tetanus infection normally requires a puncture wound to deliver/introduce endospores into a suitable environment for growth. This could be via a rusty nail, or a not-rusty nail, or a tooth, or a even a thorn (in the unlikely event that the virus survive son this floating ship at all). This barefoot girl is taking a risk of skin abrasion and injury, definitely, and atopic dermatitis, maybe, but not from the rust itself: iron oxide is not known as a skin irritant, and is seen as being so widely benign that it is commonly used as a colouring additive in make-up and other skin products.

Nice Slayer reference :)

This should make a great double feature with my personal fave Nazi-sploitation film, Shock Waves (1977).

Be great if you could explore the film "Burnt Offerings"!

Despite the poor work, this was actually a fun horror movie. I remember when I first saw this and was surprised to George Kennedy star in a horror movie.

I wonder if they did a lot of work to make the ship look so decrepit or if it was just a beat up old freighter. Just being on that boat would make you depressed.

3:24 ROFL!!!! 5:00 Fuck yeah nice touch dude LOL! Solid episode Cecil I've been very curious to look this film up for some time I remember hearing back story on this film how all the people behind this film hated it to death( no bad pun taken lol)

I just watched the full movie on RU-vid. I was so confused when shower girl died because all of that was edited out, lol. They showed an empty shower and then George Kennedy standing at the rail and then a splash. I didn't even know who died, or if anybody died, really.

I remember seeing the censored version of this movie on TV and it blew my mind as a small kid.

Slayer!!

They noticed the anchored ship creeping up on them... Great video.

2:07 the boat is sneaking up on them in open water with the anchor down and pulled laterally.

5:21 "They can't NOT NA-ZI what's going on."

Now I know where that ship scene and stand originated from in Stardust Crusaders...

You can always tell if the video is going to be comedic or serious by watching the first minutes

Not to be confused with Ghost Ship it seems!

I finally got that Uninvited reference. Thanks! That’s awesome.

I remember when this movie came out, when newspapers would run full-size ads with the production credits on Fridays and Sundays, and smaller versions of the ads during the week with just the title and maybe the stars. I had no idea Jack Hill was involved in this. On reason I've considered watching this is that one of the actresses played the teenage girl in Dead of Night.

I'll never forget it. True 7th grader horror film.

I love your channel man keep up the good content

I temember seeing this movie poster at a bus-stop (the large format poster) in Orange County CA... I still remember where the stop was, on Flower St in Santa Ana, right by the county Court House. I was but a 12yr old kid, but that poster made a impression on me, no my parents would not take me to see it😅

I absolutely love this movie!

One of those VHS covers I remember

The way the ship acts reminds me of "strength" from jojos bizarre adventure

Anyone else notice the issue at 3:17? I think the production company forgot that they built that cross-bar set piece to look like steel beams. Then this jerk just has to go and make certain that we know it's a set-piece by splitting those metal beam looking, wooden planks with his body.

im scared SHIRTLESS

I was waiting for this one!

This is like listening to one of those "Read aloud" CD and book you used to get for kids. Only it's for adults.

1:01 I don’t know enough about that actor. I’m going to need some more Data.

Underrated for sure! Bit like The Keep in an odd way

oh em gee! that piston going back and forth needs to be the new clip you show anytime there's a sex scene in a movie you're talking about!!! please make this happen!!

Just wanted to thank you folks for saving me from buying this video. It should stay sunken like the ship in it.

I'm confused as to which version I am rembering, but it was a pretty good movie.

Saw this movie a long time ago and do not remember too much about it. Will have to revisit it. I have seen pretty much anything with Jack Hill's name on it and have not been let down once.

Great video, Cecil; as always. If I may: do you consider "Gattaca" a "Good Bad Flick"? I ask because I watched it recently on HDNet, and I was disappointed to learn that it was a box office dud. I find this perplexing considering that this film is a classic with a now-loyal cult following. "Gattaca" had a great cast, a beautiful score, stellar cinematography and art design, and a razor-sharp script penned by a first-time director who did an exemplary job at his first movie.

That's a great movie indeed!

You just couldn't help yourself with all the nautical puns, could you? We should totally hang out sometime. 😎

You went overboard with the puns this time... I love i
