3.0 out of 5 stars Ingenious little pirate romp, 19 Mar 2006

By	Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

The Devil-Ship Pirates is an entertaining pirate romp from Hammer that's a part of studio legend. Hammer built a Spanish pirate ship for the film planning to reuse it on other pictures. Unfortunately, it was a death trap - the woodwork was so bad the decks would give way under people's feet and it was so unseaworthy that even in calm landlocked waters the thing would capsize, nearly drowning cast and crew. Things got so bad that even the parsimonious Hammer burnt it for real in the final scenes!

The film itself isn’t as good as the story behind it, but it’s a neat premise – the crew of Christopher Lee’s Spanish privateer convince a small village that the Spanish Armada defeated the British to give them time to make repairs – well executed and an entertaining enough way to fill an hour-and-a-half on a Sunday afternoon.

No extras on the DVD, but it does offer an acceptable 2.35:1 transfer.
