![]() Sure, that’s to be expected with a film of surprises, but I’m equally sure it can be done better. It is definitely a horror-comedy, and rarely both moods at once: usually, Harpoon transitioned from farcical black humor to bloody tension very smoothly (so much that you can almost forget a different mood was there just a minute earlier at times), but occasionally that change happens with an uncomfortable jolt.
