The premise

After discovering a passenger ship missing since 1962 floating adrift on the Bering Sea, salvagers claim the vessel as their own. Once they begin towing the ghost ship towards harbor, a series of bizarre occurrences happen and the group becomes trapped inside the ship, which they soon learn is inhabited by a demonic creature.

Horror Vault's take

A hard-working salvage crew stumbles upon what should be the score of a lifetime — a massive ocean liner that has been drifting, apparently abandoned, for four decades. As they move to claim the vessel and haul it to port, the ship's dark history begins to make itself known in deeply unsettling ways. Strange visions, deadly accidents, and a creeping sense of malevolence suggest that whatever happened aboard this ship in 1962 never truly ended. What starts as a lucrative salvage job quickly becomes a desperate fight for survival against forces that are anything but natural.
