With director Reynir Lyngdal’s icy thriller Frost set for its Los Angeles premiere Thursday, October 10, at 7:45pm at Screamfest, read on for our exclusive chat with producer Ingvar Thordarson along with the trailer and a new still!
Produced by Thordarson and Julius Kemp from a script by Jon Atli Jonasson, Frost stars Anna Gunndis Gudmundsdottir and Björn Thors and revolves around a young couple, physiologist Agla and filmmaker Gunnar, who wake up at a glacier drilling camp only to find it mysteriously abandoned and their co-workers gone. While searching for the lost team, they realize they’re up against an unknown and deadly force.
Chatting with Thordarson (who previously produced the 2009 horror feature Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, itself a previous Screamfest selection), he stated of what drew him to Frost, “The script writer came to me, and immediately after reading it I decided to do it. It fit the mythology of Iceland,...

Aside from a couple of titles Iceland's not exactly known for its horror movies. Even though our folk tales are ripe with monsters, ghosts and ghouls local filmmakers have never looked at horror as something to pursue or be particularly proud of, I chalk it down to arrogance mostly. Producers Julius Kemp and Ingvar Thordarson are basically the only ones who can see the potential in genre fare and their Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (aka Harpoon) is now the most distributed Icelandic film in history. Why? Because it's horror and horror sells very, very well. The production duo along with director Reynir Lyngdal is now back with another genre film, a found footage horror/sci-fi mashup that has lofty goals and fantastic surroundings to play...

Icelandic director Reynir Lyngdal has started filming his second film, a found footage sci-fi horror movie called Frost, which is a first for Iceland. What little is known about the storyline is that a scientist travels up to a glacier along with her filmmaking husband and together they find something sinister.Lyngdal comes from the music video/commercial side of the business but made his feature debut last year with the romantic comedy Our Own Oslo. The screenwriter Jón Atli Jónason is an established playwright. The film Undercurrent (Brim) was based on his play and he wrote Baltasar Kormakur's The Deep which comes out this year. The film is produced by Kisi, the producers behind Astropia and The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (aka Harpoon) and is currently filming...

Not to be confused with Harpoon: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (which incidentally is still the greatest film title ever), China has its own special breed of Harpoon killer looking to slash his way into your hearts via a trident of all things!
That's right, kids! A trident! Don't think we've seen that before, but holy shit, does it have us intrigued.
Harpoon is directed by Zhou Yaowu and stars Monica Mok (To Live And Die In Mongkok), Hu Bing (It Had To Be You), Li Lingyu, and Shuangbao Wang. The flick will be opening in China sometime this December.
Plot details are scant, but the trailer below pretty much speaks for itself. Dig it!

A diverse group of vacationers on a whale watching excursion are thrust into a nightmare beyond imagination when a freak accident kills their tour captain. Scared and hopeless, they easily accept rescue from a shady character with a fishing boat. He takes them back to his massive, isolated fishing ship where, along with his demented mother and brother, systematically begins slaughtering the helpless whale watchers.
Harpoon: Whale Watching Massacre can easily be added to the long list of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes clones that deal with a stranded or lost group of people encountering a homicidal family. While the setting of the film is the obvious element that makes it somewhat stand out, it also is simply a very good horror film that rises heads and shoulders about most films...

Each year horror sites, newspapers, magazines and other forms of media like to compile these silly "Best of," or "Worst of" lists. Here at 28Dla, we like to follow the crowds, but in a different way. This year's lists will consist of various categories including "Top Five Indie Horror Films," "Top Five Major Horror Release," "Top Five Foreign Horror," "Worst Horror Films of 2010," and "Most Anticipated Horror Films of 2011." These lists will be a little more focused. So, let us start with this first list titled "Top Five Indie Horror Films."
Now, this is a year where close to fifty independent films were reviewed on this site. There was the pain of Danny Dyer's Basement from Revolver Entertainment to highlights like Die-Ner, Get It? and the over-the-top and disturbing Harpoon: Whale Watching Massacre. This list will give you the "Best of" in this competitive genre, as this reviewer has seen the gamut.

Dominic Murphy, the uber-talented filmmaker who blasted onto the scene with the Sundance/Berlin debut feature film White Lightnin', a pic I'm sure a very small percentage of our readers have seen, will next direct another relationship-themed film in Cassandra at the Wedding. Based on the 1962 novel by Dorothy Baker, this will likely be Bruno Heller's first credit for a feature film screenplay - so far, he wrote for television's Rome and The Mentalist. Sam Taylor who produced White Lightin' and more recently Donkey, Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre and a cool sounding doc Street Kids United pitched the project to the filmmaker. Variety reports that filming is scheduled for April of next year in Wales and New Zealand.

Got some great first run releases hitting DVD and bluray today as well as a few genre classics hitting Bluray for the first time, so without any more preamble let's just dive right in.
First up we have Inception, Chris Nolan's dream-hoping, mind-bending, psuedo scifi romp that blew the roof off the box office to, I think, many people's surprise. Hell, when a mainstream movie with Leo Dicaprio impresses even quietearth, you know you've got something different on your hands. Is it perfect? No. I personally think Nolan's brick and mortar obsession with keeping a "reality" aesthetic hurt the film. I mean, it's about dreams. Let loose a little! But there is so much to love about this film that I would rate it a must-buy release.
Next up we have Sandy Collora's first original scifi feature Hunter Prey (trailer). In case you forgot, Collora's the dude who made the fan film,...

*Full disclosure: A DVD of this film was provided by Image Entertainment for review.
Director: Julius Kemp.
Writer: Sjon Sigurdson.
Harpoon Whale Watching Massacre aka Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre is a film shot in, yes you guessed it, in Reykjavik, Iceland. The film is also set in this locale and the film was made for $4 million from a trio of production companies including Solar Films. Image Entertainment is distributing this horror title on DVD December 7th and this is a film that you need to take notice of. This film left this reviewer stupefied from the sheer gore if it all. People are harpooned by long distance in the water, there are attempted rapes, and people die by fire multiple times e.g. flare shot to the eye. The visual effects and cinematography are stunning, while the acting, and characterizations leave something to be desired.
The film's tagline is: "the catch of the day.

It is a very light week for horror DVDs with a few re-releases on Blu-ray of newer classics, starting with the "New Flesh" that is Videodrome as well as Guillermo del Toro's Cronos.
Other releases this week that are worthy of any mention include a blood-soaked whale-watching trip, an entomologist who started a human collection instead, and a television mini-series about exorcism.
Videodrome (Criterion Collection) (1983)
Directed by David Cronenberg
Starring James Woods, Deborah Harry, Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky, Leslie Carlson
When Max Renn goes looking for edgy new shows for his sleazy cable TV station, he stumbles across the pirate broadcast of a hyperviolent torture show called Videodrome. As he unearths the origins of the program, he embarks on a hallucinatory journey into a shadow world of right-wing conspiracies, sadomasochistic sex games, and bodily transformation. Renn's ordinary life dissolves around him, and he finds himself at the center of...

Tucson and Phoenix: Prepare to be rocked, shocked and defiled. Blasting its way into its third — and biggest — year on Sept. 18-25, the Arizona Underground Film Festival is a cacophonous concoction of angry transsexuals, bumbling hit men, slacker superheroes, living dolls, aliens, dead hookers, adventure-seeking blondes and other crazies.
This year the fest is screening 30 feature films, some of which are making their U.S. and even world debuts. The opening night film is the U.S. premiere of the German hit man comedy Snowman’s Land, directed by Tomasz Thomson,while closing the fest is the controversial and violent A Serbian Film by Srdjan Spasojevic, which you have to be over-18 to get into.

I wonder how often filmmakers work backwards from a good title, as director Júlíus Kemp has admitted to doing with Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (2009). The film itself seems to work its way backwards as well, opening threateningly with real whale-hunting footage and a gritty look, but perhaps sensing its slim chances of living up to the similarly titled Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Reykjavik drops the grit about a half hour in to focus on black comedy. It's a smart move, and the film is often darkly funny, I only wish the filmmakers had gone back and reworked the whole thing because I can see a lot of viewers shutting it off before they get to the good stuff.

Harpoon: The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre comes to DVD in May 2010 courtesy of E1 Entertainment and promises to be one of the most talked about horror releases of the year. Directed by Julius Kemp (Wallpaper: An Erotic Love Story) and written by award winning novelist and lyricist Sjon Sigurdsson (Dancer In The Dark), the film stars old ‘Leatherface’ himself, Gunnar Hansen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), as the ill-fated captain in charge of a tourist whale watching trip that takes a horrifying turn.

Although awkwardly titled, “Harpoon: The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre” certainly delivers on its billing, being a film which is indeed about visitors to Iceland being murdered while on a whale spotting trip. The film from director Júlíus Kemp (also responsible for the equally intriguingly titled “Wallpaper: An Erotic Love Story”) is actually the country’s first proper exploitation genre release, something which surely marks it as being of interest for horror fans, as does the fact that it was written by Sjón Sigurdsson, a noted Icelandic poet, novelist and lyricist who works regularly with Björk and who collaborated with Lars Von Trier on “Dancer in the Dark”. Following a successful run at festivals and having garnered positive word of mouth, the film now arrives on region 2 DVD via E1 Entertainment. The plot is pretty generic stuff, with the usual “Texas Chainsaw” style rural slaughter being transported to the chilly seas...

We’ve missed the early boat (geddit) slightly with this one, but we thought it still well worth a mention. ‘Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre,’ Iceland’s first foray into the sticky red world of slash horror is to get an English subtitled R2 DVD release from E1 Entertainment. Now pre-fixed with “Harpoon” (because that’s obviously so much scarier?) in the title, Reykjavik is the brainchild of Julius Kemp, and a blatant homage - ‘Leatherface’ actor Gunnar Hansen even makes an appearance - to its ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ namesake. The blood starts flying May 10th. Synopsis: When a freak accident leaves the captain of their Whale watching boat mortally wounded and the first mate jumps ship following his attempted rape of a passenger, a small group of tourists are forced to seek refuge on a passing former whaling vessel manned by a family of ‘Fishbillies’ with a psychotic score to settle.

How can you not be intrigued by a title like “Harpoon: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre”? It got me with “Harpoon”. Of course, a blurb calling it “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on a whaler” didn’t hurt, either. I mean, how many slasher films have you seen set on a whaler? That’s a new one. Great harpooning fun is guaranteed when the film lands on DVD in the UK May 2010 courtesy of E1 Entertainment. Check out a teaser trailer below. An epic tale about a group of whale watchers, whose ship breaks down and they get picked up by a whale fisher vessel. The Fishbillies on the vessel has just gone bust, and everything goes out of control. Starring Pihla Viitala, Nae, Terence Anderson, Miranda Hennessy, Aymen Hamdouchi, Carlos Takeshi, Miwa Yanagizawa, Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir, Guðlaug Ólafsdóttir, Snorri Engilbertsson, Gunnar Hansen, and directed by Júlíus Kemp.

This fall we've seen the premiere of four features and one feature documentary. Julius Kemp‘s English language Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre opened in early September. A horror-comedy hybrid with a strong surreal flavour, it depicts a brutal and bloody battle between whalers hellbent on major mischief and hapless whale watchers who get in their way. Sales company E1 Films has picked up UK rights, with other territories pending. - [Editor's Note: I'm extremely pleased to introduce Ásgrímur Sverrisson to our readers, he'll be providing us with a monthly lowdown on the cinematic happenings from his native Iceland.

This scribe hit Rachel Belofsky’s Screamfest La in Hollywood, CA, last night (as I do every night – extensive video and stills below), where Ti West, the director of The House of the Devil (review here) (screening as the fest’s "Centerpiece Film"), talked up his new series "Dead and Lonely", which begins airing on IFC Monday, October 26th, as well as the dust-up surroundng his Cabin Fever 2 (sort of).
Star of The House of the Devil Jocelin Donahue chimed in about her role in West’s legitimate recreation of early 80’s horror as seen in The House of the Devil , and Icelandic director Julius Kemp of the Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (the film plays at Screamfest La tonight) spilled on the distribution of that film (which will be at Afm – hopefully American audiences will see it soon).

At the recent Rock and Shock convention in Worcester, Ma, Fango caught up with genre vet Gunnar Hansen and queried him about his latest fright flick, the wonderfully titled Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre. Directed by Julius Kemp (a co-producer on the Lordi vehicle Dark Floors), it’s about…well, exactly what you’d think it’s about.
“There’s a family in it that really resembles the one in Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” the original Leatherface tells us. “They’re called the Fishbillies, ’cause they’re whale hunters,” and they do indeed massacre a group of whale watchers whose boat, piloted by Hansen’s Captain Pétur, has broken down. Despite the camp-suggestive title, however, the actor assures that the film is “played straight; it’s a hardcore horror movie, and very bloody.”
Clearly, the filmmakers knew what they were doing when it came to pitching the project to Hansen, who was actually born in Reykjavik,...

Cologne, Germany -- Iceland has picked Oskar Jonasson's action thriller "Reykjavik-Rotterdam," the only film from the territory to qualify this year, as its entry in the 2010 foreign-language Oscar race.
Despite being rocked by the international financing crisis, Iceland still managed to produce a few films this year, but the others -- such as Dagur Kari's "The Good Heart" and Julius Kemp's popular horror titles "Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre" -- had too much English dialogue to qualify. So "Reykjavik-Rotterdam" won by default, and was not voted for, as is usual, by the Icelandic film and TV academy.
The film stars Baltasar Kormakur -- known to international audiences as the director of "Jar City" and "White Night Wedding" as a man tempted back into the smuggling business. The violent, funny and action packed feature swept the Icelandic film awards, the EDDAs, winning five trophies.
"Reykjavik-Rotterdam" was produced by Iceland's Blueeyes Pictures...

Ingvar Thordarson, Gisli Gislason and Julius Kemp produced the comedy horror flick for the Icelandic Film Company.

We've reported on this film a few times in the past, and I still don't know why I find it so fascinating. The first Icelandic horror film I can remember that got my attention (can anyone name another?), the title is both ridiculous and oddly compelling at the same time. Flick appears to be a unique stalk and slash taking place on a whale watching expedition and it features original Leatherface Gunnar Hansen. How can it possible go wrong? Twitch Film scored the final trailer today for Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, the film is set to debut on September 4th (in Iceland, I can only assume) let's hope it manages to make the rounds here in the states. See the trailer right here after the jump.

The horror film with quite possibly one of the most bizarre titles ever, Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, has gotten itself a trailer today for you to watch along with the whales, and said massacre of course.
Directed by Julius Kemp, the Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre tells the tale of a group of whale watchers who end up having a really bad day once their boat goes to crap and they're picked up by a whale fishing boat. The great Gunnar Hansen is set to star, and who better to be around anytime a massacre is afoot?
Check out the trailer below courtesy of Twitch Film.

Iceland's horror film Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre now has an official, final trailer and thanks to the Twitch fellas we've got a look at the film which opens in its home country on September 4th. Gunnar Hansen appears in this tale of a whale watching excursion that goes awry.

Okay horror fans, this one is for you! Thanks to Twitch, the trailer for Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre has arrived, and it's about as odd and creepy as you can get for a horror/thriller set on the open sea. First things first, yes, this is in English, even though it's a Icelandic production and directed by a Icelandic filmmaker. Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre is "an epic tale about a group of whale watchers, whose ship breaks down and they get picked up by a whale fisher vessel. The Fishbillies on the vessel have just gone bust, and everything goes out of control." It's actually looks pretty damn cool, so check it out.

Twitch Film scored the trailer for Dark Floors producer Julius Kemp's latest directorial effort, The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre (or Rwwm) - and while the title may be a whole lotta silly, there's a lot to like in this clip. The flick stars original Leatherface Gunner Hansen and is described as 'An epic tale about a group of whale watchers, whose ship breaks down and they get picked up by a whale fisher vessel. The Fishbillies on the vessel have just gone bust, and everything goes out of control'. In my opinion this description does Not do the flick any justice.

Details and images from Julius Kemp's Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre float in at random, so it doesn't come as a surprise that a trailer has suddenly washed up. Thanks to Twitch Film, here's your first look at this tale about a group of whale watchers whose ship breaks down and they get picked up by a whale fisher vessel. Those on the vessel "have just gone bust," and everything goes out of control. Gunnar Hansen ( The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ) has a small part. No word yet on U.S. distribution, so you'll have to hang tight.

The good folks over at Twitch Film nailed the first glimpse at Julius Kemp's slasher film that features Gunnar Hansen in a small role. Honestly? It's just not a massacre without Gunnar. No word on release or even distribution yet. Dig on the trailer below.

After all of the bloody stills from Julius Kemp's Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre, it's hard to not be excited. And even though the title is cheesy, and it stars Texas Chainsaw Massacre vet Gunnar Hansen, the teaser beyond the break proves that this could be more than just hype. The film is a tale about a group of whale watchers, whose ship breaks down and they get picked up by a whale fisher vessel. The Fishbillies on the vessel have just gone bust, and everything goes out of control. Its a cross between the original Texas Chainsaw MASSAcRE and The Blair Witch Project, combined with the dark and bloody humor of Evil Dead.

We’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Julius Kemp,s Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre for a good while now, drawn in both by the prospect of a slasher-comedy set on a fishing vessel and the presence of one Gunnar Hansen - that’d be Leatherface from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre - headed back to his native Iceland to appear in the English-language production. We’ve run story boards for this one along with stills and I had the chance to see an extended - and very bloody - promo for it a good while back but we’ve had no footage to share until now.
The first teaser for the picture has just arrived and while they’re definitely being careful not to spoil any of the major gore moments this early in the game you do get a solid feel for the look of the thing, a...
