Death Ship 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray unleashes Alvin Rakoff’s eerie nautical horror in a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative. A cult favourite of early-1980s supernatural horror, this chilling tale of a cursed freighter drifting through the Atlantic blends maritime suspense with supernatural terror.

After a luxury ocean liner collides with a mysterious freighter in the dead of night, a small group of survivors climbs aboard the seemingly abandoned vessel. But the ship is anything but empty. As strange events begin to unfold and the survivors realise they are trapped at sea, it becomes clear that the freighter itself is possessed by the lingering evil of its violent past. What begins as a desperate rescue soon becomes a fight for survival against a relentless, supernatural force.

Led by an impressive cast including George Kennedy, Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso, Sally Ann Howes and Saul Rubinek, Death Ship sails into cult horror territory with eerie atmosphere, unsettling imagery and a sinister concept that has made it a long-standing genre curiosity.
