'Wreck' is a thriller set aboard a mega cruise ship that combines comedy and slasher. During the movie, Jamie, a 19-year-old new recruit, infiltrates a 1,000-strong crew to find his sister, who also worked on the ship but disappeared mid-charter.

Bloodthirsty murders are occurring on board despite an overworked and underpaid crew partying and living in excess.
