Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre is a 2009 Icelandic comedy-horror film directed by JúlÃÂus Kemp and written by Sjón Sigurdsson.
Tourists in Iceland on a whale watching expedition off the coast of ReykjavÃÂk are stranded when their ship breaks down, but are rescued by a nearby whaling ship crewed by "fishbillies" who are not as friendly as they first seem.
The film was released in Icelandic cinemas in September 2009. Due to the lack of Icelandic horror films and the film's grindhouse feel, many audience members could not take it seriously and mistakenly thought it was unintentionally funny as opposed to purposely comedic; advertisements that started with the words "the first Icelandic thriller" were removed in favour of new advertisements stating that the film "should only be seen if you have a sense of humor". E1 Entertainment picked up distribution rights for the UK, where the film was released on 10 May 2010 as Harpoon: The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre.
