Was the first Dark Castle Entertainment horror film released to be based on an original concept, as the original idea for the company was to remake William Castle horror films which the previous few films were. Though it was still critically panned like their previous releases. See more »
Goofs
When Epps breaks a cabin window and throws the pump discharge line out the window, we see in the shot from outside the ship that the water is being discharged from at least five decks above the water-line. The engine room was below the water line, and no one would run a hose up an extra five flights of stairs when they could run it overboard just above the water-line, unless the cabins on the other decks were locked by their former residents/ had rusted through floors/ were otherwise unaccessible. Continuing up another deck would be preferable to wandering the decks on the chance of finding an open cabin, as people generally lock the doors to their rooms when they are not in them. See more »

I can't hold her much longer, Murph. Port bow is heeling. She's taking on way too much water.

Crazy Credits
The opening logos are tinted brown, and the typical Warner Bros. logo is instead an intentionally chintzy 60s style logo. All this ties into the infamous cruise ship opening. See more »
Alternate Versions
The film was released in Germany in both its uncut form (rated "Not under 18") and in an edited version ("Not under 16"), which misses many gory shots (i.e. from the wire scene in the beginning, the squashed diver or the "hooked up" singer). For commercial reasons most cinemas showed the cut version. See more »
This films best bits are in the special effects and those moments when you jump out of your seat. The opening sequence lulls you into a false sense of calm, from then on its guess the scenario. The viewer is always two steps ahead of the actors but, for the most, grips you nevertheless. The special effects are especially good and the acting, although no top-notch stars are evident, is not bad. The end is a real twist. Better to watch this than many others I could mention, certainly worth the video rental and a pizza.
