Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

HumanoidOfFlesh "Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre" is considered the first Icelandic splatter horror.I love Iceland.I visited this extremely beautiful country in 2014 and fell in love with majestic Icelandic volcanoes,mossy lava fields,waterfalls and glaciers.So I was curious about Icelandic horror genre and finally decided to watch Júlíus Kemp's "Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre".Of course the film is a homage to Tobe Hooper's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" from 1974 as it features small cameo of Gunnar "Leatherface" Hansen.A family of three Icelandic whale hunters(mother and two devoted sons)hate foreigners.A group of tourists is stalked,mutilated and killed by this savage clan in the cold and black Icelandic waters via harpoon and similar hunting equipment.The film is pretty bloody and gruesome with creepy performance of Helgi Björnsson.Can't wait to see other Icelandic horror flick "Frost".8 harpoons out of 10.

artpf Firstly, DO NOT believe the reviews that say this is a Texas Chainsaw rip off!There are marginal obtuse references to Chain, but this story is really unique in itself. And it's a powerhouse of a rendition. The Icelanders all seem to despise the "greenpeace" tourists who have turned their whaling days into wussie watching days.Not sure however why there is a undercurrent mention of the US, when most leftie greenpeace folks are not American! Nonetheless the good guy and the bad all seem to hate them.The whale watching boat can't find whales and comes upon another vessel after being disabled. This other crew promises to save the. It's then that the fun starts.It's a tensely directly film that commands your attention and the multiple languages spoken add a sense of realness. It's a relatively short running time of 1:23 but keeps your attention.There's a couple of out of place blips along the way that detract, but if you can over look them, you get a really fun ride.

trashgang So far the only thing we have seen from Iceland are Bjork, Sigur Ros, volcano's and whale hunting. Not many people know that Iceland was ready to deliver their first horror flick called Harpoon (or the longer for some unspeakable title Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre). And I must admit, it is a decent movie. Some people will have difficulties to understand the language used, there is the Icelandic language luckily subtitled but there is also a French guy trying to talk English and some Japanese who tries to talk English too. But you will get used to that. Second, one name is wheel known in the genre, Gunnar Hansen. He's in the movie because he's Icelandic, not as a teaser. The movie itself sometimes becomes really bloody and even gory, there is some kind of suspense and even some nudity. Okay, there are reviewers who pointed out that there are some flows in the story but I wasn't offended by it. It's about the guy who appears with a handicap, but I didn't have any problems with it. Anyway, it's a bit of TCM on a boat. It surely delivers the stuff you need for a horror and remember, it's the first film coming from that country in our genre, well done...

kobrakai1975 After being huge fan of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre took an interest in this movie (the Title did it) especially considering the review splattered across the cover.. Yeah thanks Bizarre are you sure you were watching the same movie. The Opening is not too bad, spooky music and old footage of chopping up minke whales or whatever then cuts to present day usual set up young girls club etc.... Up until this point all seems the norm. It all goes pear shape when you meet the rest of the fodder (I wanted to press mute every time the french guy spoke) as previously said very cliché type mixture but the acting and dialogue is atrocious. The one interesting character (bleached blonde hair) vanishes never to be seen again. When they eventually end up stranded and rescued - NOT! by the Whalers and taken to the ship it all kicks off pretty quickly. Now this makes a welcome change but thats as far as it goes. You can see why they relate it to the TCM i.e Odd family weird shot away brother with squeaky voice but it just not on the same level. The Deaths are not up to scratch effects wise as you would of expected. Harpoon scene is by far the best and to be fair is actually a good scene. As the movie progresses the dialogue gets a lot worse (in case of the gay bloke he's more wooden than Pinocchio) and the blonde eye candy at the beginning start to get on your nerves ( poor dialogue ) and you end up begging them to get killed. In fact all the characters annoy you by the end if its not the dialogue, acting or plain stupidness ( you shout at the screen for Christ sake finish him lol ). Overall was disappointed with this movie as could of been much better and should of been. I know when a movie sucks when you wishing it to hurry up and finish plus your thinking what a load of balls.
