What happens

Death Ship is a 1980 horror film directed by Alvin Rakoff and starring Richard Crenna, George Kennedy, Nick Mancuso, Sally Ann Howes, Kate Reid, Victoria Burgoyne, and Saul Rubinek in an early role. The screenplay by John Robins was based on a story by co-written by Jack Hill. A British-Canadian co-production, the film was shot on-location off of Dauphin Island, Alabama and in Quebec City. It was director Rakoff's only horror film, and upon release received mixed-to-negative reviews, but has developed a cult following. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
