Near the Yucatan Peninsula, a ship, the "Hades", is found drifting in the ocean without a crew. Captain Ramsey and his crew discover the ship's cargo contains ancient Aztec treasure from Montezuma's temple.

Crewmen Delgago and Lane try to steal the treasure. Delgago is possessed by a statue, and transforms into a reptile monster that kills Lane. The monster sets about killing the rest of the crew.

Second mate Medina discovers the Hades' captain, Jameson, is still alive and was possessed. Jameson kills himself.

The only survivors left are Medina and first mate Bergren . They rig the Hades with explosives. The monster kills Bergren, and Medina jumps overboard just as the Hades is blown apart. She's rescued by the cargo ship, but is now possessed herself.

Reception

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2018)

TV Guide awarded the film 1/5 stars, criticizing the film for its dialogue, direction, overuse of stock footage, and lack of scares and imagination.[4] Charles Tatum from eFilmCritic awarded the film a negative 1/5 stars, criticizing the film's bland direction, unconvincing monster costume, and script.[5] Andrew Pragasam from The Spinning Image awarded the film 6/10 stars, writing, " Though far from groundbreaking and with the low budget showing through on occasion, The Haunted Sea is still a tight, compelling little exploitation picture. The creature suit looks a little rubbery but the transformation effects and gore are more accomplished than one might expect."[6]
