Harpoon Reviews
Rob Grant's Harpoon exudes all the sly confidence of a well-prepared and half-in-the-bag wedding table orator.

The most gruesome version of a bottle episode I've ever seen.
| Feb 17, 2021
A black comedy horror from Rob Grant. More polished than last year's Alive, but with some forgivable flaws.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 9, 2021
As it unfolds, Harpoon takes various twists and turns which make it fun to watch. Just when one thinks things will go one way, things unfold in a slightly different direction. Definitely a funny, over-the-top, gory, and entertaining ride.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2020
Mean, nasty, gleefully gory and wickedly funny.
| Original Score: B+ | Jun 26, 2020
The writing and directing set that up and make the most out of it, creating a great film with some truly uncomfortable moment, making Harpoon a must-see film for horror fans and those who like twisted films with dark humor and some nicely sinister twists.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 4, 2020
At its core, Harpoon isn't aiming for deep statements about the human condition, opting instead to spin a fun, bloody yarn.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 20, 2020
It may not be the most original single location thriller you'll ever see but it is certainly one of the most tense and engaging.
| Feb 11, 2020
This is a cruel story of people of adrift at sea with no moral compass and I loved it.
| Original Score: 7 | Feb 9, 2020
Harpoon focuses on human horror and how we unravel when the bonds we make with people we see as close fall apart.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 1, 2020
It's all good, gory fun, the three leads bouncing off each another like energetic, morally bankrupt pinballs sent careening across a playfield.
| Nov 21, 2019
A supremely entertaining and deeply satisfying horror flick that has future cult classic written all over it.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Nov 19, 2019
If you can accept the cuter-than-cute narration, Harpoon is a sinewy low-fi delight distinguished by a trio of terrific performances.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2019
"Harpoon" offers stylish compositions, amusing running gags and sharp, snappy dialogue. It's a sparse, nasty little thriller.

[T]hose who can stomach the blood-letting are likely to cheer this inventive foray into high-stakes, high-jinks on the high seas: not least because of its determination to hold its nerve right up until the moment the closing credits roll.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 5, 2019
This film is just in time for those that want to be on a rollercoaster that scares you, but it might also leave you feeling just a little gun shy.
| Original Score: 3.5 | Oct 31, 2019
Harpoon is dark, mean-spirited stuff but no one's getting punished for the sake of it, and there are moments of sublime silliness that keep it nimble and entertaining. Jump on board.

A fun and savage thriller. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Oct 21, 2019
The film is strikingly shot, writer-director Rob Grant layers in strong undercurrents that keep the story staggeringly tense, and the three lead actors are terrific.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 21, 2019
This flaccid picture lacks the muscle needed to succeed as a horror or a comedy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2019
