#320 Harpoon Horror movie review (2019) “Strong beginning and ending, but lacking consistency” – (6.0/10).

Introduction

Harpoon is a 2019 Horror/Comedy/Thriller movie, according to IMDb.

Impact

Narration at the beginning was used to introduce the background. This continued at various points throughout, lightening the mood, but more importantly providing a little entertainment to minimise boredom, during less action-packed stages. This enhanced comedy touches, of which some worked well, whilst others tried too hard.

Key themes

Settings changed immediately, featuring coastal locations, followed by more urbanised areas.

Friends, was painted as a clear theme from the beginning, reinforcing a sense of connection between people. Films with apparent closeness between characters, often connect better to the viewer.

Violence was also apparent early on, accompanied by gore, improving action intensity; Gore got progressively more shocking throughout.

Comedy appropriate in Horror movies?

Plot progression wasn’t as quick as I’d hoped, once the characters were on the boat, which was a little disappointing. Whilst inaction was broken up by narration, progression still felt a little too steady. Despite this, there was the odd moment which would scare the more squeamish of viewers,

I also find comedy misplaced in many Horrors, since it can reduce fear factor. Here, I feel it only works because of the absence of Horror mechanisms, which wasn’t good for film quality.

Whilst themes became darker towards the end, the lack of action and apparent evil, really began highlighting holes in the films’ Horror elements.

Ending

The ending had both a Horror plot twist, followed by amusing narration, which brought Horror inline with comedy, as promised by the films’ listed genres.

It was a shame the film took so long to become good, and I feel it didn’t pull off the effect it was going for.

Summary

“Strong beginning and ending, but lacking consistency”.

Closing statement 

Reaseaorg blog is working on its content to enhance viewer experience. Over the previous few years, we have been gaining momentum until recently, and are currently looking at ways to continue to improve user experience of our blog. 

We deeply thank all 75 of our followers, especially those who are still reading at this point in this article. You really do shape our content, and maintain our focus on producing content which appeals to our audience. Based on WordPress insights, we have learnt that certain types of product reviews are most popular. Fortunately, all recent blog posts appear to have increased in popularity considerably, regardless of the focus topic of the article. This is a real improvement, which will help to vary future content.

Please feel free to advertise related content in the comments below, but all I ask is that you please be respectful. I have had some comments in the previous few months, which have gone against the spirit of my blog. 

That is to be a friendly place for fans of Horror, movies, drinks, and adventures, and particularly those who are interested in writing or reading engaging content. 

It is not a place for those who posted links of an explicit nature, reducing visibility of helpful comments, providing insight for my future blog writing. 

I thank all of those who have liked my articles, but I won’t ask you to press like on any of my content, unless you do actually like it, as it helps me to gather further accurate information about the types of articles you, the reader, actually would like to see moving forward. 

Please comment below with ideas for future content, or any thoughts not covered by the points outlined above.

I will continue to post this statement on articles to come, to ensure optimal visibility for viewers. A big thank you to Neil Patel, for producing a helpful video on search engine optimisation (SEO), to assist my content popularity. I hope it helps anyone else who has content online to get their voice heard, be it through writing or video, or other creative forms of expression online. 

Based on insights gained, I have increased my blog content article length, introduced a “food for thought” section to encourage creator-viewer engagement, introduced a “why you should read” tag-line under each article title, added a closing statement which will be used on future articles for the same purpose of updating you on how the blog is progressing, and increased content from my critical eye.
