Following in the footsteps of spoofy horror films like Sharknado 5: Global Swarming and 2 Lava 2 Lantula! is a new horror spectacle aboard the Titanic.

Or the third Titanic ship, as the plot goes, challenging historical repetition over a century since the first (and real) Titanic sank.

The idea is that the Titanic III, on its maiden voyage and packed with VIP passengers, is set to cruise over the sunken gravesite of the original Titanic – which, as you can imagine, is far too tempting an opportunity for gore and ghosts to not pop up.

The movie follows influencer couple Mia (AnnaLynne McCord) and Jackson Stone (Derek Yates), as they learn about a stowaway (Lydia Hearst) who snatches a few of Professor Hal Cochran’s (Jamie Bamber) trinkets, recites a curse, and summons the Titanic’s deceased victims for revenge.

You have to see it to believe it, I guess:

Titanic 666 seems to have scraped the bottom of digital effects barrels, reports Paste Magazine, with “quality that either intentionally or inadvertently shifts horror to a kind of comedy primed for boozy weekend watches”:

Whatever strides are taken to treat Titanic 666 as a voyage doomed by the act of trauma-profiteering is undone by C-grade structures that fail everything from its character development to its horror beats.

Although, Asylum Projects, the production company behind the film (also responsible for other tie-in films like Triassic World and Planet Dune), does not, by any means, ask us to take their films seriously.

It is all about relishing in pure chaos and fun, after all.

AIPT News even called a death scene involving a lifeboat “hilarious” while mentioning that “Titanic 666 is definitely flawed, but it is harmless fun”.

Knowing who the directors and writers are (Nick Lyon, behind Bermuda Tentacles, Jacob Cooney (Flight 666, 5 Headed Shark Attack) and Jason White (Drowning in Secrets, Scarecrow)) makes Titanic 666 make a little more sense at least.
