This time they have awoken a monster dwelling within one of the Norway’s deepest fjords. Kraken follows marine biologist Johanne as she investigates strange occurrences linked to a local fjord. As deadly events unfold, she uncovers a terrifying myth lurking beneath the water’s surface – a giant, multi-armed monster capable of destroying everything in its path. This legendary creature is ready to unleash havoc on those destroying the ecosystem – yet another climate change, environmentalist monster movie. Hell yes. 🦑 This stars Sara Khorami, Mikkel Bratt Silset, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Øyvind Brandtzæg, Jenny Evensen, Steinar Klouman Hallert. Kraken is ready to open in Norway in October, and will also arrive in the US sometime later this winter. Only a quick teaser – not much to see yet.
Here’s the first teaser trailer (+ teaser poster) for Pål Øie’s movie Kraken, direct from YouTube:
Johanne (starring Sara Khorami) is a marine biologist who is doing research on a fish farm in Vangsnes, a rural community located by the fjord, when she encounters several strange occurrences. Along with the brutal deaths of two local teenagers, all signs are pointing to the deep fjord; might there be more to the depths than the eye can see? At the bottom of Norway’s deepest fjord rests a mythical monster as large as a mountain, with a myriad of arms ready to crush and devour anything they can grab. Kraken is directed by Norwegian filmmaker Pål Øie, director of the films Dark Woods, Hidden, Villmark 2, Astrup: Catching the Flame, and The Tunnel previously. Co-directed by the cinematographer Sjur Aarthun directing his first film. The screenplay is written by Natasha Arthur, Vilde Eide, Kjersti Helen Rasmussen; from a story by Sjur Aarthun and Pål Øie. Produced by John Einar Hagen and Einar Loftesnes. This movie will open first in Norway starting October 24th, 2025 this fall. No US release date is set yet – stay tuned for more. Curious?
