About
You’ll enjoy this if you want a goofy, divisive slasher that swaps the usual setting for a cruise-to-city chase and you don’t mind plot holes; Not for you if you expect nonstop Manhattan action like Death Ship.
Pros: fun premise twist; a few memorable kills; occasional goofy moments | Cons: misleading title focus; thin characters; messy, illogical story
