Harpoon: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre

Ridiculously stereotyped international tourists find themselves the "catch of the day" after their whale-watching trip goes horrifically awry in this derivative Icelandic chiller. A scrappy twist on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (and featuring the original Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen, in an extended cameo as the unfortunate ship's captain), it sees the persistently self-centred and obnoxious foreigners picked off by a freaky, in-bred fishing family in gory but bog-standard ways. Though the old whaling boat setting is claustrophobic, the speed of the kills and general predictability of events ensure there's no real tension, and poor acting and unsympathetic characters further diminish the film's impact. Still, non-PC black humour, chucked in among the clichés, should keep genre fans in high spirits, even if it doesn't always translate fully.
