Academy Award® winner George Kennedy (Cool Hand Luke, The Dirty Dozen, Airport) captains his last luxury cruise. A mysterious and fatal collision with a sinister freighter leaves him with a handful of survivors, stranded on a possessed ship! This  ghostly vessel has its own agenda, seeking out new victims for the terrible forces that still command it. Is rescue by the DEATH SHIP a fate worse than death?
