DID THIS MOVIE SCARE YOU AS A KID???

[deleted]

I never saw this one up until I was about 17 and no, it didn't scare me.

No...but George Kennedy yelling "No one leaves my ship!" quote became a punchline that needed no joke with me & my friends!

I think I saw it as a kid around the time I first saw footage of the Nazi death camps, so it frightened me in a real-life way rather than a scary-movie way. The device of a Nazi death-camp-at-sea was brilliant. No escape except drowning, if one could ever get past the guards.

"Overpopulation... not a problem now, but it will be in time".

If anything, I laughed at it.

Yes. I taped it off of ABC's Late Nite Movie somewhere around 1990 and it definatly freaked me out a little. The whole film is so rusty and dingy and oily and filled with cobwebs it makes me want to take a shower (with no blood of course) after watching lol

Hells yeah! But that was the point, no? I was about 13 when I saw this in the theater alone, and Nick Mancuso rassling in that net with skeletons is what I remembered most plus George Kennedy getting ground down for failing to keep everyone on his ship. A cheesy B-movie for sure, and not terribly scary now, but an interesting premise that deserves a better re-visit than the terminally bland "Ghost Ship" delivered.

It creeped me out a little, the ghost looking down from the top of the ship was eerie and that one bit where the lady gets poisoned weirded me out. The music added to it, especially the opening credits.
