Haunting of the Queen Mary was written by Gary Shore and Stephen Oliver, from a story by Oliver and Tom Vaughan. It is a British co-production between Imagination Design Works, Rocket Science and White Horse Pictures. Brett Tomberlin developed the feature film, first announced in 2013. In January 2019, Shore was announced to direct. By March 2021, it was reported that Haunting of the Queen Mary was planned as the first in a trilogy of horror films about the RMS Queen Mary, a retired ocean liner permanently moored in Long Beach, California. In October 2021, principal photography began in a studio developed by ARRI and Creative Technologies. Filming took place onboard the RMS Queen Mary in November.

Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 67% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.80/10.
Matt Donato of Bloody Disgusting gave the film 3/5 stars, writing, "It's never as accomplished as Ghost Ship, Triangle, or other primetime haunted vessel comparisons, but it's still good enough to chill your bones cold like a rogue breeze off the ocean after midnight."
Common Sense Media's Jeffrey Anderson was more critical, writing, "Beautifully shot and with some striking, shocking images, this time-jumping horror tale nonetheless has a muddled narrative, and confusion and frustration eventually outweigh appreciation." He gave the film 2/5 stars. Mini Chhibber of The Hindu praised the film's visuals, but wrote, "the action is as murky as the ghostly lights on the ship and in the end you feel like the lady at the piano, banging her head on the keys, begging to be let out."
