This film is called the first Icelandic horror film. It’s an epic tale of a group of tourists sailing out to watch a whale. In the vastness of the seas, their ship breaks down and fishermen rush to their aid. Then things turn in an unexpected direction.
The director does not deny that there is a lot of irony and humor in the film. Julius Kemp adds: “It’s a pretty realistic and silly film. Mood is important in it. There’s no way people just run and scream. It's a kind of combination of "Texas Chain Saw Massacre" and "Malholand Drive" to create the right mood.
