Screamfest La’s The House of the Devil Premiere Report

22 October 2009 2:10 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

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).

Perennial badass and actor Marc (The Lost, Cabin Fever 2) Senter showed up »

Gunnar Hansen talks Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre

21 October 2009 1:22 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

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, »

Final 'Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre' Trailer

6 August 2009 3:07 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

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. »

Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre Gets a Trailer

6 August 2009 12:51 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

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. I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this one after its debut overseas. if(document.getElementById("obj1f866af11db04864bca16236377b518f")) document.getElementById("obj1f866af11db04864bca16236377b518f").setAttribute("flashvars", "file=4cbedec43b37431aa56aff3eb4c1a225&permalink="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)); if(document.getElementById("emb1f866af11db04864bca16236377b518f"))... »

17 March 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

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. Watch the trailer for Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre: For more info, head over to the official website: kisi.is/movies/rwwm/ Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre is directed by Icelandic filmmaker Júlíus Kemp, of Blossi/810551 and Wallpaper: »

We've Seen 'The Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre' Trailer!

17 March 2009 9:13 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

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. Hit the jump for the artful trailer and let us know what you think! Worth checking out in your opinion? Check out more stills and info at... »

Trailer: Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre

17 March 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

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. »

Teaser Trailer For 'Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre'

16 March 2009 10:59 PM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

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. »

Stop Watching The Whales!  Watch Your Back, Instead! It’s An Exclusive Look At The Rwwm Teaser!

16 March 2009 7:11 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

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 »
