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.

Production

The film was based on a script written by Jack Hill called Bloodstar, which was inspired by Steven Spielberg's Duel. Hill originally wanted to direct himself, but the Canadian Film Development Corporation required a Canadian director for the production to qualify for tax credits. The working title was Adrift and Beyond.

Location filming took place off of Dauphin Island, Alabama and Mobile Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. According to director Alvin Rakoff, the production sourced a disused tanker in Biloxi that was due to be scrapped. The ship's engine broke down after a single hour, and had to be towed for the remainder of filming. The rest of the film was shot at a studio in Quebec City. Principal photography lasted from 7 June to 10 July 1979.

The shipwreck sequences reuse footage from The Last Voyage (1960) and S.O.S. Titanic (1979).
