6. Blood Vessel

Set at the end of World War II, a group of lost-at-sea survivors bumps into a daunting German minesweeper. With nowhere else to go, the passengers quickly board and soon find that two recently-awoken vampires are causing havoc on this gory craft.

Maybe empty ships floating in the middle of a warzone are abandoned for good reason?

Again we have a World War II horror film that expertly puts the audience on edge as the diverse group of survivors slowly piece together a mystery of Nazi treasure and drained corpses. The ship's dark passageways are put to good claustrophobic use, with terrifying scares lurking in every dark corner.

Director Justin Dix has worked in Australian cinema for over fifteen years, predominantly as a special effects designer, so it's no wonder the creature designs and practical effects are Blood Vessel's crowning achievement.
