Review of Torture Ship

Torture Ship (1939)
5/10
A THOUSAND DEATHS
11 November 2021
Mad scientist (Irving Pichel) charters a ship in order to conduct illegal experiments on a ship full of crooks:"The Carver", a notorious knife murderer (Russell Hopton), Poison Mary Slavish (Sheila Bromley), in insurance fraud, and various and sundry, It also just so happens that the bad doctor's brother (Lyle Talbot) is the first Mate, and so pure of heart that his evil sibling wants to use him as a control in his ghastly project.

Good character players, particularly Hopton as the fiendish Carver. Fast 44 minutes keeps your attention to keep up with the quick succession of events in the original and outlandish plot.
