- 40Time OutTime OutA crewless Nazi torture-ship malevolently hunts down and sinks Caribbean pleasure cruisers. Good enough. But a Ten Little Indians plot soon takes over which is as rusty as the evil vessel.
- 20TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineSo ludicrous it's quite funny.
- 20Washington PostTom ShalesWashington PostTom ShalesDeath Ship unfortunately turned out to be about as frightening as "The Love Boat." No -- less. Except for one grisly, chilling scene too horrible to describe, this one was an unintentionally funny stroll. And pity the poor actors -- George Kennedy, Richard Crenna, Nick Mancuso, Sally Ann Howes; it's the TV-jeebies. Strictly second-string city. [9 June 1980, p.B1]
- 0The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenThe movie degenerates from the merely farcical to the appallingly tasteless...As the end draws mercifully near, one character proclaims: "This ship needs blood to survive." A film needs more than that. [22 May 1980]
