Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who like a story that's man versus the elements and fans of a good haunting. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. Sits nicely alongside The Others. Critics were cooler on it, but audiences had a great time.
The mood
Scary and gory.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

Survivors of a tragic shipping collision are rescued by a mysterious black ship which appears out of the fog. Little do they realise that the ship is actually a Nazi torture ship which has sailed the seas for years, luring unsuspecting sailors aboard and killing them off one by one.
