| Salvagers discover a passenger ship, the Antonia Graza, an Italian luxury ocean liner with a dark secret. Missing since 1962 and floating adrift in the Bering Sea, the salvagers claim the vessel as their own. Once they begin towing the ghost ship towards harbor, a series of bizarre occurances happen and the group becomes trapped inside the ship, which they soon learn is inhabitated by a demonic creature. |

Munder: Who the fuck you kidding Greer. Everybody knows you Navy boys take it up the ass. |
|
|
|
Epps: You mean, what's a nice girl like me doing in a dump like this, instead of raising a family? Simple. I own a third of Murphy's operation, I'm not that nice, and these monkeys...are my family. |
|
|
|
Munder: I just think I shit my pants.
Dodge: No, you always smell that way. |
|
|
|
Epps: Not the same as flying weather planes over ice sheets is it? What's the appeal? |
|

|
|
Epps: After you.
Murphy: No, after you.
Munder: No, no, no, no. After me. |

CRITICAL COMMENTS |

|
| "A fine, old-fashioned haunting on the high seas." -- Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News |
|
|
|
|
|
|
"A stupid, derivative horror film that substitutes extreme gore and suspense." -- Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle |
|
|
|
| "Launched with a few surprising touches and a disturbingly bloody prelude, horror pic collapses under the weight of its own dull conception and weak, direction, dialogue and character portraits." -- Robert Koehler, Variety |
|
|
|
|
"A dumb movie with dumb characters doing dumb things and you have to be really dumb not to see where this is going." -- Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper |
