Product Description

A group of tourists gather on a whale watching vessel in Iceland anticipating the trip of a lifetime. When a freak accident leaves the captain of their boat mortally wounded and the first mate jumps ship, a small group of tourists are forced seek refuge on a passing former whaling vessel manned by a family of Fishbillies with a psychotic score to settle. With whaling no longer on the agenda, the tourists become the helpless prey aboard a ship that is set to sail on a sea of blood. This homage to horror classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a brutal and graphic slasher starring the original Leatherface himself, Gunnar Hansen.

A very diverse group of people go on a whale watching trip, there's a young German woman, a Japanese couple and their assistant, a drunk Frenchman, three ageing women who could be from anywhere as the accents are all over the place, and finally a man and woman who I think were supposed to be American. Once they board the ship, the Icelandic captain and his young crewman takes them out to sea. After a few hours at sea and failing to find any whales, the captain gets on the radio to ask if anybody else has seen any whales anywhere. His call alerts a family of fishbillies (hillbillies but on sea) to their location. Soon after a tragic accident is caused by the drunk Frenchman, and the captain is killed. With the captain dead and the would be rapist crewman gone, the passengers are left alone and in need of help. A little while later the fishbillies seemingly come to their rescue, and takes them to their ship. Almost as soon as all the passengers get onto their ship, the family show that they're anything but rescuers and start to massacre them. The strangers are going to have to work together, if they're going to get off the ship alive.

Gunnar Hansen is given top billing, he enters the film about ten minutes in, and departs around the twenty minute mark. Hansen was actually born in Reykjavik, so his inclusion as the captain at least lends the film some authenticity. He's best known for playing Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and has had a decent career appearing in cameo's like this, annoying that he's given top billing but I didn't exactly get the film based on his acting chops anyway. The rest of the actors all do okay, but this isn't the sort of film you buy if you're after great acting and deep characters.

By The Movie Guy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 27 Sept. 2013
Format: DVD
This is Iceland's attempt at a slasher/ horror type film. It is in English or subtitled where not. A group of tourists go whale watching, but there are no whales to watch so the captain radios for help. He is lured to another vessel location under the ruse of seeing whales. Along the way, an obnoxious drunk Frenchman (Apparently Icelanders have the same respect for the French as the British)accidentally shish kabobs the captain of the boat. As the captain lays there dying, the first mate, damages the boat, takes a small craft and leaves them stranded. The adrift group is "rescued" by a family who used to whale, but can't because of international treaties etc. They hate whale watchers and foreigners. Once they are on board their ship, a woman's cell phone starts to work. She is quickly killed by one of the family as the rest of the rescued group scatters about the boat playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with the pretty blond tied up by a religious member of the family who wants to sacrifice her for the lord- go figure. Contains blood, killing, and nudity.

This movie is certainly better than many of the low budget B horror flicks, but fails to generate any real tension. This is perhaps I have seen so many of these things I have grown numb to people being harpooned or burned alive. The Japanese are stereo-typed with their taking photos, male chauvinism, and kamikaze ability. The Frenchman is obnoxious, you want him dead.

Yes, Gunnar Hansen,native of Iceland, (Leatherface) is in the movie. He plays kindly old Captain Petur and dies early in the movie. I didn't recognize him without someone else's face on his head.

By Bob Salter TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 6 Mar. 2015
Format: DVD
A long time ago in my primordial ancestry a Viking must have done something that comes naturally to a Viking with one of my ancestors, because I seem to understand and even laugh out loud at the Nordic sense of humour which appears to some a riddle as mysterious as the Sphinx. I haven't laughed so much since watching the Norwegian film "Troll Hunter", which was equally oddball. There is no getting away from the fact this is a slasher film that borrows from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", which the makers are happy to advertise by using the actor Gunnar Hansen who was Leatherface in that film. The title is also a bit of a give away! It cleverly parodies those dangerous hillbilly types from films like "Deliverance" and "Southern Comfort", as a template for this hornets nest of Icelandic villains. It also contains similar violence to that seen in "Hot Fuzz", remember that nasty accident under the church tower? The violence is so outrageously ridiculous that I had no option left but to laugh. Perhaps I need therapy?

The story has an annoying bunch of whale watchers who after an unfortunate accident end up as "catch of the day", on board a boat of Icelandic `fishbillies', who have a few little issues shall we say! Let gore and mayhem commence! Clearly whale watchers, although they bring in hard cash' can be seen as annoying at times to the locals. I mean `do the whales get a say'. I can see where they are coming from! Setting them up as hapless victims then, seems like a nice way of exacting a small kind of payback. The humour will not be everyones cup of tea for sure! It was not received favourably on its original release, many simply not getting it, prompting the makers to add, `should only be watched if you have a sense of humour'. It is more a case of if you are on the same oddball wavelength! Must get out to Iceland sometime, I have a feeling I will like it there, and no I will not be whale watching! I prefer beer watching, which it seems is a healthier option!
