The Haunted Sea

Yes it's true that is the main reason I watched this "film" the beautiful Joanna Pacula. Unfortunately apart from this, this is a pretty dismal film. Even the nudity of the other actress (Krista Allen) doesn't help, she's pretty awful to be honest.

The whole film is pretty pants, the crew of a film find a mysterious vessel and when some of the crew board it they find no crew but plenty of ancient loot. They intend to steal it, bad idea pals. Another problem is most of the crew are unlikeable so who cares when they get bumped off, as for the Monster, well it's so awful it's amazing it got filmed at all.

Poor Joanna having to appear in this guff, she must've needed the money.

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.

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 Haunted Sea" is an incredibly bad, cheap movie, noteworthy only for its short length and gratuitous nudity. Krista Allen-Morritt's so-big-they-won't-fit-in-a-football-helmet breasts are the true stars of this "Aliens", "Q, The Winged Serpent", and "Leviathan" rip-off, as she's topless at every possible occasion, including dream sequences and a shower scene.

Casting borders on the ridiculous: extraordinarily beautiful Joanna Pacula is the freighter's 2nd-in-command, and James Brolin (Barbra Streisand's paramour) is the ship's captain who uses such nautical terms as "left" and "right."

Special effects are ridiculous: the monster looks like a cheap Godilla (think of "Godzookie" on the old cartoon); animated "lightning" jumps off ancient Aztec statues; the assorted killings are amateurish at best.

See it only if you have nothing better to do for it's 84 minute running time.

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.
