The premise

Near the end of World War II, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship cling to life aboard a crowded lifeboat. With no food, water, or shelter, all seems lost – until an eerily silent German minesweeper drifts ominously towards them, giving them one last chance at survival. As our motley crew explores the ship, it becomes all too clear that some diabolical fate has befallen its German crew. The mystery only deepens when they encounter a young Romanian girl, apparently the sole survivor, who leads them to a locked room in the bowels of the vessel.

Horror Vault's take

When a torpedoed hospital ship leaves its multinational survivors adrift in the dying days of World War II, a ghost-like German minesweeper seems like a miracle rescue — until the boarding party discovers what claimed the vessel's crew. Confined to the labyrinthine corridors of a ship that refuses to give up its secrets, the survivors must face a horror far older and far more ruthless than any war. Blood Vessel trades broad daylight scares for slow-burn dread, letting the claustrophobic nautical setting do much of the heavy lifting before the terror is fully unleashed.
