Overview

The dormant remains of Gatanebo, a powerful voodoo priest from the Caribbean, are brought back to life on a lavish South Seas cruise. Now revived into a hulking, bald figure, he stalks the ship, unleashing supernatural terror on its unsuspecting passengers. Gatanebo’s rampage includes decapitations and moments where his human form slips back into a mummified state. Amidst the chaos, he is drawn to Sylvia, a passenger whose resemblance to his old love Kenya stirs forgotten passions and ancient memories. Blending supernatural horror with blaxploitation flavor and a maritime setting, this Spanish genre entry serves up a unique mix of voodoo, murder, and exotic intrigue.
