Kraken
Marine biologist Johanne 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 point to the deep fjord; can there be more to the depths than the eye can see? At the bottom of the 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.
Critics Sentiment
Viktor and Alexander activate experimental weapon against Kraken
Kraken destroys Norwegian oil rig while pursuing Zapolyarye
The film drops to its lowest point during the underwhelming oil rig destruction sequence before recovering significantly when the experimental weapon finally provides a satisfying monster confrontation.
Kraken starts with moderate promise in its Arctic submarine setting but suffers from pacing issues and weak character development in the middle act. The film recovers somewhat during the final weapon sequence, though overall execution falls short of its monster movie potential.
