Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original negative mysteriously disappeared over 20 years ago. The print used for the Blue-Underground DVD is from director Ken Wiederhorn's personal collection.
- GoofsWhen the cook's body is retrieved from the lake, a split second before the scene change, you actually see the actor that plays the cook start to lift his head up. This mistake is more apparent in the VHS version, though the DVD has part of it as well.
- Quotes
Captain Ben Morris: Men at sea often have hallucinations. They work hard, they have eyestrain, lack of sleep, exhaustion. Sometimes, they just plain stupid. Why, some say they're more afraid of water than little old ladies are of the dark

Featured review
Overlooked but excellent 1970s "Zombie" treat...
Rather than re-watch Rob Zombie's homage to 70s flicks, or any of the modern remakes of the "Living Dead" films, why not just dig up some of the little seen but really good original 70s stuff? There's a lot of it out there that deserves to be seen, and this is one of them. There's a lot going for it, atmospheric soundtrack, decaying old structure, handful of frightened folks out of their normal element, the walking dead, plans for escape all go awry, very typical of the 70s pre-slasher horror genre. But this is one of the best entries, surprisingly better than I remember it to be when I saw it back in 1979 on tape. Back then, being an immature young kid, I though it was slow, but now I see it's a steady build of tension.
