A Tubi Original horror set aboard a ship named Titanic III that steers into the realm of supernatural horror at the site of the original Titanic's sinking, "Titanic 666" does about as much as you could rightly expect a movie to do with this concept and a limited budget, but can't quite escape mediocrity. The effects are cheap and cheesy, the acting performances run the gamut between camp and cringe, and the plot is paper thin. The movie is never painful, however, and mostly charms despite its glaring faults. The ghostly versions of the Titanic victims who return to claim more souls for the sea are actually quite coolly designed, even if the breathing effects they're saddled with never land. The deaths they cause aren't actually too bad (one where a woman gets unceremoniously squashed by a lifeboat had me laughing), though. Ultimately, the movie fails to justify itself as anything more than a lark since the characters aren't worth caring about and what little plot there is follows a predictable trajectory. With more money behind it, a stronger story and a better casting director, this might have been relatively good.
