Released on home video in the U.S. late last year by DREAD and Epic Pictures, Rob Grant's Harpoon was one of my favorite films of 2019, and now, Black Fawn Distribution has announced that the company has acquired Canadian physical home video rights for the critically acclaimed genre film!
Black Fawn will bring the release home on Tuesday, February 11th, 2020 with a special 2-disc collector’s edition of the film that will feature a slew of special features, stunning new artwork and a glorious limited edition retro slipcase!
The release features an HD transfer of the film and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. Special features will include a 30 minute behind the scenes making of featurette, 3 filmmaker commentaries, B-roll footage of the cast and crew, deleted scenes and trailers.
Harpoon stars Munro Chambers (Turbo Kid, Riot Girls, Knuckleball), Emily Tyra (TV’s "Code Black", Flesh and Bone), Christopher Gray (TV’s The Mist) and Brett Gelman (Netflix’s "Stranger Things", The Other Guys).
In the film, "When maladjusted Jonah (Chambers) is attacked by his hot-headed best friend Richard (Gray) - who believes Jonah and his long-term girlfriend Sasha (Tyra) are sleeping together - the caustic bond between the three friends is quickly called into question. Once Jonah and Sasha convince Richard that the allegations are false, Richard apologizes by taking them on a pleasure cruise on his fancy new yacht. After an accident renders the boat inoperable, Richard soon discovers that the affair was in fact, real. As more dark secrets and sexual tensions emerge, and with their rations of food and water starting to quickly dwindle, Jonah, Richard and Sasha must choose to put aside their differences or risk dying on the open water."
In my review, I called the film "a extraordinarily delicious piece of cinematic schadenfreude" featuring "stand-out performances all around."
Harpoon is currently available for pre-order on Amazon.ca and will also be available as part of Black Fawn Distribution’s Blacklist series - a special VIP package featuring the film along with cast autographs, exclusive collector items and more.
