Kraken is a horror thriller that incorporates classic elements of the genre such as a secluded setting, mysterious occurrences, and a monstrous creature lurking in the depths. Typical horror motifs like brutal deaths and an ominous atmosphere are present, creating suspense and fear. What sets Kraken apart is its unique maritime backdrop—a rural community by the fjord—and its central monster, a mythical kraken whose immense size and many arms provide a distinct and terrifying antagonist. The blend of scientific research through the marine biologist protagonist with folklore elements adds depth and originality, distinguishing it from conventional horror titles that often rely solely on supernatural or slasher themes.
