Ship of the Damned may surprise you, it did me, the fact its billed as an Action Horror and yes there are elements of both in this it actually plays quite differently, much like a story driven hijinx on the high seas in the first half, which is no bad thing. The real treat here is that the film is story and character driven with its key roles of Elena played by the always wonderful Hannaj Bang Bendz (Wrath of Dracula see review here), Jacob played by Ben Manning (The highwayman) and Michael played by Jacob Anderton (I am Ripper). These three keep the story moving forward to its brutal and bloody ending.
