I be a sucker fer low-budget horror films, especially them wi' silly, cumbersome titles. But when th' lad dumps them off on an ol', rusty whalin'' vessel before his deranged Greenpeace-hatin' kin, all hands on deck soon be reckonin' they ain't been saved at all - they's th' catch o' th' day! Th' fisherman seems t' be a friendly swabbie an' e'en offers t' take th' tourists t' safety. Now in times o' crises, sailors be radioin' fer help, 'tis be part o' th' code 't does, but this crew… they be singin' Björk tunes o'er th' loudspeakers! An' by th' powers, 't works! Jus' like a siren's call, th' wench's "' Tis Oh So Quiet" somehow lures in a nearby ship, an' thar be much rejoicin'. ![]() ![]() Alas, before he e'en gets th' chance t' yell, "thar she blows!" a freak mishap leaves th' cap'n mortally wounded, strandin' th' sightseers far from shore. Hansen stars as th' ill-fated Pétur, a privateer who be takin' a boat full o' foreign lads an' lassies ou' carousin' in Icelandic waters t' witness th' majestic behemoths o' th' sea. ![]() Arr, me hearties!

Aye, e'en Leatherface hisself, buccaneer Gunnar Hansen, be reeled in t' make a cameo! Only replacin' th' hillbilly folk o' Texas be a clan o' demented scallywags on the high seas - paintin' th' black spot on a ship o' whale watchin' tourists an' sendin' 'em one-by-one down t' Davey Jones' Locker.
