Samuel Goldwyn Films has shared the official trailer for Kraken, the upcoming Norwegian monster horror movie. It is currently expected to make its U.S. debut sometime next year.

“In the film, Johanne 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; can there be more to the depths than the eye can see?” reads the official synopsis. “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.”

The video introduces a marine biologist who investigates the brutal deaths of two local teenagers, which are somehow connected to the fjord.

The ensemble cast includes Sara Khorami, Mikkel Bratt Silset, Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes, Jenny Evensen, and Steinar Klouman Hallert.

Kraken is directed by Pål Øie, with Vilde Eide writing the film’s screenplay.
