Somewhere in the North Atlantic, late 1945. A life raft adrift at sea, and in it, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship: With no food, water, or shelter, all seems lost - until an abandoned German minesweeper drifts ominously towards them, giving them one last chance at survival.

Goofs
Striking an armor-piercing naval shell on its nose would not make it explode. The fuse in the base first needs to be armed, and then the detonator inside fired when the shell strikes its target at an extreme velocity.

Campy fun, if a bit handicapped due to plot, budget issues

A very unlikely group of allied forces survivors run into a seemingly deserted Nazi ship in the middle of Atlantic Ocean, only to find... stirgoi. The poster and the name tells you what this is so I don't it is a spoiler when I say vampires.

Despite plot holes the size of Donald Trump's ego and budget the size of his.... brain, this movie is campy fun, if you set your expectations low.

High production values given the budget, a decent ensemble makes this surprisingly enjoyable, even if the ending is predictable. So, stop complaining and just enjoy watching for Alex Cooke's Teplov steal the show from his higher billed co-stars. A star will be born soon, I think.
