The Haunted Sea

Along with "Grim" this is possibly the worst monster-on-the-loose horror film I have ever seen.James Brolin and Joanna Pacula are completely wasted in this piece of crap.As for Pacula,she is my favourite Polish actress but why she was involved in this disaster is beyond me.The plot is obnoxious and stupid,the monster looks incredibly fake and the special effects are mostly made up of splattering red paint/blood on the wall when someone gets hacked up.The lead actress Krista Allen is extremely annoying and incredibly wooden.To sum up,if you enjoy lame acting,cheesy gore effects and an implausible plot,then this is the film for you.If not,avoid it like the plague.

The premise of looted (and cursed) Aztec treasure found on a drifting ship has promise to be deliciously scary. Unfortunately, the Haunted Sea doesn't fulfil the promise. Can be amusing if you look for scenes and stunts from good Sci-Fi and horror movies, and try to guess the next lame plot device to bare Ms. Allen's not-inconsiderable mammary gifts. Without a single original idea, character, scene or word, this movie is so bad you'll keep watching it to see if it can get any worse-and it does! Makes you wonder what ended up on the cutting room floor (now that is scary!).

The other user comment for this movie says it all, except that Barbra Streisand should forbid hubby James Brolin from ever again attempting an Irish accent.

And then there's that gimme cap on the noggin of the usually glamorous, decidedly non-butch Joanna Pacula.

MST3K is gone, sad to say. This would have been perfect fodder.

Early clues that this movie will be a complete waste of time: Gratuitous female nudity before the opening credits are over, and wobbly cameras zooming in at screeching people to simulate predator attacks. And oh look, boobs were bared again 10 minutes into the movie.

Essentially this movie is similar in plot to the recent Ghost Ship - the crew of a boat find a (haunted) abandoned ship and board it. This script is crap, however. There's something about an Aztec curse, which leads to flashbacks of sacrificial rituals, which naturally requires there to be naked women. Despite the title, this is actually a monster flick. Effects are limited here (read: a monster that looks like a puppet), as is the acting. There are a few more experienced actors, and there are the actors that need a few more years of acting school before they can take up roles like "Bystander #1".

I wonder what a renowned actor like James Brolin is doing in this movie. I guess before he married money... I mean Barbra Streisand, he had to find some way of paying the bills.

OK i seen this a few times and haunted sea is not a bad movie,true it is a b-movie but it is entertaining although short.a good soundtrack,a good cast led by sexy Krista Allen,James Brolin,and Joanne Pacula.it deals with an Aztec treasure and a monster that looks like a leftover from carnosaur.i would call this a Saturday matinée movie much like atomic submarine.i am a fan of Roger Corman movies,except of course carnosaur which i did not care for.another notable actor is Don Stroud who made numerous movies with Corman like;bloody mama and dillinger and Capone.haunted sea is not a classic but like i said its not bad,ill give it 7 out of 10.
