The Haunted Sea is a 1997 American horror film directed by Dan Golden, starring Krista Allen, James Brolin, Joanna Pacula and Don Stroud.

It was originally intended as an installment of the television anthology Roger Corman Presents, but was rejected by the series' broadcaster and instead premiered on home video on November 11, 1997.

Near the Yucatan Peninsula, Captain Ramsey's freighter finds the ship "Hades" drifting in the ocean, showing no apparent sign of life on board.

It was originally intended for inclusion in the television anthology Roger Corman Presents, which included several reimaginings of the B-movie mogul's classics, but had a troubled production.

Corman allowed Golden to work on it with his usual story editor Frances Dole, but insisted the shoot start within ten days as planned.

Following her appearances as Emmanuelle, Krista Allen was not enthusiastic about the film's instances of nudity, and Golden acknowledged that the first such scene was not gracefully integrated into the picture.

[3][4] While the film was supposed to premiere on Showtime as part of the Roger Corman Presents collection, the channel's executives deemed its quality unacceptable and rejected it.

[2] Although this has not been acknowledged by either party, genre publication Psychotronic Video later posited that the third-party production When the Bullet Hits the Bone had been inserted into the series to help Corman satisfy his remaining television commitments.

"[10] Charles Tatum of eFilmCritic gave the film a single star on a scale of one to five, writing that the special effects "suck", the direction is "pretty bland, something to be expected when you are limited to three sets and reels of 1960s [sic] Mexico travelogue footage", and "not a whole lot makes sense".
