Norwegian Horror ‘Kraken’ Finds the Legendary Creature! [Image]

Dread Central has the first still and sales art for TrustNordisk‘s Norwegian creature feature Kraken, which Variety reports was picked up by Signature Entertainment for U.K. and Ireland. No word on a U.S. release yet.

Kraken follows marine biologist Johanne, who encounters several strange occurrences while researching at a local fish farm. Following the brutal death of two local teenagers, all clues point to Norway’s deepest fjord, where a gigantic mythical monster is hiding.

“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,” Dread learned.

The feature stars Sara Khorami (Nothing to Laugh About), Mikkel Bratt Silset (The Shadow of Victory), Ingvild Holthe Bygdnes (The Tunnel), Jenny Evensen, and Steinar Klouman Hallert (Thelma).

It was directed by Pål Øie (The Tunnel) and written by Vilde Eide, Kjersti Jelen Rasmussen, and Natasha Arthur.

Kraken is produced by John Einar Hagen (The Tunnel, Mortal), Einar Loftesnes (The Tunnel), and Vindhya Sagar (Never Rarely Sometimes Always). Executive producers include Sveinung Golimo (The Last Resort) and Katrine Vogelsang (The Last Resort, To New Beginnings).
