Had a great time watching this! It was the perfect horror/black comedy combo without unintentionally being like "Scary Movie" levels of absurdity. The thriller element was on point too - I did not foresee the ending.

I liked it, great mix of dark comedy with gorefest horror. I think it could have been better but overall a good film.

The notion that this belongs on a "top 200 horror movies of all time" list is a profound indictment of RT's methodology.

From Richard Parker to Even Steven, it was a sick and entertaining boat ride.

In terms of a gross out, bloody violent horror thriller film, this isn't bad. It keeps you guessing and there are some shocks and suddent action to take you by surprise. Its not constant or excessively over the top but what bloody violence there is, its pretty gory...think blood, self harm. There's some narration telling the viewer about supposed bad luck relating to historical events and pop culture. I don't know how accurate it is but its kind of interesting. Not the most original of this sort of film, its not the best but not the worst, if you know what I mean. You may feel the ending to be a bit disappointing.

Unexpected surprise i really enjoyed this movie even if i dont usually like movies happening in 1 location... the actress should stop the plastic surgery she looks like Nicole kdmn and she is young... overall great movie such a good time

What the hell is up with this ****ing damned ****?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The overly comedic tone of this movie makes it less enjoyable than a true horror film and that's why I'm not giving a higher rate to it. As every good horror movie this one recognizes that less is more, that's the reason why the whole movie present to us just a couple different scenarios and only 3 characters. The multiple plot twists makes it intriguing, acting is top-knotch, but again the inappropriate comedic tone mess everything, including the ending. I would say this is a 7/10, but I'm tempted to rate it lower.

"Harpoon" is a dark comedy. It's pretty good, but in more capable hands it could have been great.

Don't remember much, but rated low by myself and others after initially watching it.

From some of the same team that brought us "Knuckleball" comes a salty tale of betrayal, lies, deceit & murder, "Harpoon" (‘19). Written & directed by Rob Grant, this dark morality fable features long-time "friends" Rich (Chris Gray), Sasha (Emily Tyra) & Jonah (the excellent Munro Chambers) go on a day trip on Rich's Dad's yacht to celebrate his Birthday, but what sets out to be a pleasure trip takes a much darker & vicious fight for survival, as the truth behind their alleged loyalties & lack of trust comes to a head. This starts of in a jokey, if unsettling style of "Dead Calm" meets a sweary "Dawson's Creek", but this cruise is anything but plain sailing. To say too much more about the plot would ruin some of the very clever twists & turns of this great-looking, but disturbing thriller about how knowing someone for a long time can be more deadly than desirable. The trio of cast members play it brilliantly, especially Chambers, who really is an actor to keep your eye on in future & the script is believable, nasty, funny, snarky & it ramps up the violence, lies & revelations steadily in it's short 82 minute run-time, which is no mean feat, yet this film manages to pull it off with plenty of style & claustrophobic face-off's between the three leads, a decent amount of gore & some great lines. None of the characters are particularly likable people & it's hard to root for anyone here & maybe their fates are more of their own doing than they realise & they don't see this until it's gone way too far. A film about human nature, the price of betrayal & who you can really trust, which is much scarier than any beastie. It's a scary, but also darkly funny movie, made even better by bits of wonderful narration & naval superstitions provided by Brett Gelman, whose disembodied voice gives great little additions to the film & the plot without ever seeming intrusive. This fabulous Canadian chiller is a must for anyone who feels let down by their pals in the past & love a well-made, ironic morality tale, but without ever being preachy. If you're planning a trip with friends, just make sure that you have a think about if you've ever upset them first. In this fab, little movie, the truth just doesn't hurt - it kills. Bon Voyage. Grimly.

A well scripted, tight riff on Sartre's "No Exit". Engaging for a limited cast, presumably low budget Canadian indie. Manages to keep the tension despite long gaps between gore. The ending doesn't really make sense. It only occurred to me after the credits rolled.

Wow! It passed the time, but I watched because Rotten Tomatoes gave it 97%. I would give it 75% at best. I used to really go by RT but wow. Fairly good acting but... I don't know. I'm no certified critic.

Bleak ‘Harpoon' Gets *Really* Nasty

While it was mostly okay and darkly funny at times, I felt like it was lacking in both the horror and comedy departments and it was more a dark relationship drama-in-a-bottle concept with some terrible characters.

Ésta es de ésas películas que dejan ver lo mejor de todos los involucrados cuando con poco hacen mucho. La historia de 3 amigos en un yate, donde todo empieza a salir mal desde un principio. Rob Grant escribió el guión y lo dirigió de muy buena forma. La profundidad que cada personaje va adquiriendo conforme avanza la película es muy interesante tomando en cuenta que todo sucede en un yate, las posibilidades de que todo se vuelva monótono son infinitas, éste no es el caso. Una comedia obscura y creativa que con menos de una hora y media logra su objetivo cabalmente. De mis favoritas del 2019.

A love triangle lost at sea.

i mean... i agree with the majority of the other reviewers. it may not be much on a grand scale, but given the what they had to work with, they did quite a lot with it & did it quite well. the story is good, the twists are there, the acting isn't terrible... not bad!

Another boring American film about affluence and ethics. Woefully and tragically categorized as a "horror" film, there's nothing suspenseful or thrilling about it. With a wholly unlikeable cast of characters and a plot that begins and goes nowhere, it feels like an experimental student film that would have received a ‘C' grade for effort. And honestly, it's a complete mind boggle as to how anyone could think this belongs on the top 10 of any list except top ten wastes of time for 2019 I actually feel sorry for viewers would would give this more than 2 stars because it makes me think there is an entire generation of people who have more likely than not never seen a decent film before and think that irony is a viable basis for a film plot. It really is that bad. Im probably making it sound better than it actually is.

Surprisingly strong, progressive, reality based, psychological horror... if that's your thing. Misses a beat here or there, but overall solid with a bit of a history lesson. 3 1/2 of 5
