We’ve been writing up HARPOON: WHALE WATCIHNG MASSACRE since December 3, 2008. (Back then, it was known as REYKJAVIK WHALE WATCHING MASSACRE.) It’s getting ready to hit our shores on DVD/Blu-ray almost two years to the day, on December 7th, and to help stoke the fires of excitement you must now be feeling, we’ve got the final cover art for this fishy horror tale.
HARPOON will be available in both an R rated and Unrated versions, although it looks like the Blu-Ray will only offer the Unrated, which features two additional minutes of bloody carnage. No special features have been revealed to us as of yet…
On the cold waters off Iceland’s coast, a boatload of international tourists set off on a whale-watching expedition. But when a freak accident leaves their captain mortally wounded, they are stranded…and suddenly the ocean’s loveliness turns ominous.
Help seems to arrive in the form of a helpful whaler (Gunnar Hansen, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) who offers to take them back to shore, but instead leaves them on a decaying whaling barge.
At first they believe they’re alone, until they discover that the barge is already occupied by a deranged family, determined to hunt each one down in a night of oceanic terror! Forced to overcome cultural as well as personal differences, the tourists become comrades in fear…willing to brave the high seas to survive an ocean of blood.
