2010 Hole Head Program Guide -Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre
Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre
Dir: Julius Kemp
An international group of whale watchers takes off on a voyage in the waters of Iceland where they encounter a tragic and brutal accident on board. They are rescued by what appear to be the Nordic relations of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre family with murderous intent and plenty of harpoons, axes and double barreled shotguns to quickly change this happy day voyage into a nightmare on the open seas.
The film opens with old stock whale slaughter footage and then takes us ashore where an intrepid group of tourists is at a club with a hardcore Viking metal band playing ear splitting rock. The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre loses no time introducing us to the characters who will soon be set loose on a doomed voyage into dark and troubled waters.
Packed with a sly sense of humor and many nods of the hat to cult horror classics. There’s a dash of Leather Face and a sprinkle of The Silence of The Lambs in there. For the true die hard fan, you may want to take an extra close look at the Captain aboard this whale watching ship. Look oddly familiar? Gunnar Hansen, once starred as Leatherface from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre is a frenetic romp in a world gone terribly wrong. Moving at a blisteringly fast pace there are harpoons and a frenzy of painful and at times terribly comic ‘head shots’ here as the group dwindles in size and the intensity increases. You’ll wince and you’ll burst out laughing as sudden impact with brutal weapons leave a bloody and charred path through the dark and sinister whaling vessel.
The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre is where Jaws meets Texas Chainsaw in the chilly waters of Reykjavik!
