Blood Vessel (2019).

An improbably diverse group of U-Boat attack survivors find their way aboard a seemingly abandoned Nazi vessel, discovering, in time, what happened to the previous occupants.

The movie has 3 things going for it:

  1. A perfect title.
  2. Commitment to make-up and practical effects in most scenes(the standout being the main antagonist)
  3. The production either filmed on a real vessel, or they have very talented set decorators. Given how many B-grade creature features (esp. ones set in WW2) wind up being 80 minutes of stereotypes tramping through the woods, the production value was not unappreciated.

Is it good? Not really. Does it make good on its premise? Also, no. Is it better than it could have been? Absolutely.

Worth a watch for fans of foam latex.
