From director Pål Øie (The Tunnel), Kraken (2026) follows marine biologist Johanne, who is researching a fish farm in the remote fjord community of Vangsnes. After a series of strange events – including the brutal deaths of two local teenagers – all signs point to the dark depths of Norway’s deepest fjord, where a mythical monster the size of a mountain waits with a multitude of crushing arms.

Starring Sara Khorami, Mikkel Bratt Silset, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jenny Evensen and Steinar Klouman Hallert, Kraken is a Norwegian creature-feature that brings classic Nordic sea-monster folklore to modern horror.

Norway release: In cinemas from 24 October 2025.

US release: Early 2026 (TBD), distributed by Samuel Goldwyn Films, with a planned rollout in theaters and on digital/VOD.
