Description

Bad Travelling A giant man-eating crustacean called a "thanapod" violently boards a shark-hunting ship, slaughtering most of its crew before occupying the ship's hold. The ship's navigator, Torrin, is chosen to confront the thanapod. Puppeteering the body of a slain crewman, it demands to be taken to the nearby Phaiden Island, where it will presumably feed on the unsuspecting population. Torrin accepts on the condition that his life be spared. At gunpoint, he asks the crew to vote on whether to agree to the thanapod's demands or to trick it by dropping it off on a farther deserted island, a longer trip that makes survival less likely but spares Phaiden Island's population. Torrin then executes two of the crew who voted to go to Phaiden Island and feeds their bodies to the thanapod to buy time. However, the thanapod demands more food to feed its newly hatched offspring. When the crew mutinies, Torrin kills them and feeds them to the thanapods. Torrin reveals to the last crew member that every crew member voted for the shorter voyage before pushing him to his death. Nearing the deserted island, Torrin then sets the shark oil in the ship's hold on fire and escapes in a lifeboat, seemingly killing the thanapod and its brood.
