Critics Consensus

A B-movie with an A-level commitment to entertain, Harpoon should hit the target with horror fans in the mood for gory, darkly humorous antics on the open water.

Jason Bailey

New York Times

"Harpoon" offers stylish compositions, amusing running gags and sharp, snappy dialogue. It's a sparse, nasty little thriller.

Globe and Mail

Grant adds lots of fisticuffs and gore to the proceedings, but it's Gelman's voice that answer's the narrative's numerous SOS calls.

Rated: 2.5/4

I was impressed by [director] Rob Grant's ability to accomplish a lot with a little and in a very confined space.

Vague Visages

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.

Ready Steady Cut

A black comedy horror from Rob Grant. More polished than last year's Alive, but with some forgivable flaws.

Rated: 3.5/5

Critics think this is a better movie than Fight Club. This isn't a better movie than Wild Things (Kevin Bacon and gang). It's a played-out premise of friends turning on each other. There is nothing to salvage it. The water is pretty, but not explored AT ALL. There is NO horror, and VERY mild "gore". The ending is dumb. None of the characters are likable or worth rooting for. The only saving grace is the relatively short run time.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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.
