TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 17 hrs ago Kraken is a strange film that never quite figures out what it wants to be. At first, it feels like a realistic thriller built around something lurking beneath the water. Then the story takes a sudden turn into a spiritual connection between the woman and the Kraken. That shift left me questioning what I was watching. The screenplay is all over the place, and the storyline never feels connected. There are moments when the film seems to struggle just to get started rather than move forward with any real purpose. The character decisions feel questionable, leaving more confusion than suspense. Instead of building an engaging story, the writing makes everything feel ridiculous. Ultimately, Kraken was a disappointing watch. The pacing, screenplay, and overall development never come together in an enjoyable way. I wanted something more suspenseful and believable, but what I got felt bland, disjointed, and poorly assembled. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this film. See more

Fifty T @RT01421419 5 days ago Beautiful Landscapes, Creepy Monster, Familiar Finish I went into Kraken completely blind and with very modest expectations, which probably helped me enjoy it more than I expected. The opening is genuinely intriguing, with the first 30-min building mystery and atmosphere effectively before the film slips into a 15-20 min stretch that drags just as it should be ramping up. Once the horror finally arrives, though, it delivers some tense action sequences that keep things engaging. The Norwegian fjords provide a stunning backdrop and add plenty of natural atmosphere, while the creature design is suitably creepy and one of the film's strongest assets. The finale works well enough, but it ultimately settles for fairly standard monster-movie tropes instead of doing anything particularly memorable. 6.5/10: It never rises above being a solid creature feature, but for a modest Norwegian monster horror, it provides an enjoyable enough watch despite its uneven pacing and familiar storytelling.

Jupp G @Grabi Oct 27, 2026 A typical low-budget European production. Unfortunately, the dialogue and acting come across as if this were a hobby or student project. About an hour into the movie, something finally happens. The monster is pretty well done, but the ending, on the other hand, is absolutely ridiculous. And of course, the obligatory lesson on environmental protection. If you’re looking for some tentacles, you’re better off watching the Russian film "Kraken." It’s no masterpiece either, but it’s a bit better. See more

Andy N @Andyn248 Oct 25, 2026 I made an account just to say this was the worst film I’ve watched in years Girlfriend enjoyed it because it was "fun" See more

James P @RT24178675 Sep 6, 2026 Oh this movie sucks. So boring. And the ending was ridiculous. And its dubbed. I waited so long to see it. I think you have to wait over an hour for anything worth watching. The characters were awful..i was rooting for the Creature. And come on! No one can hold the breath that long under the water. So disappointed! See more

Ellen B @RT66977172 Jul 22, 2026 This movie made me...... confused. The beginning started out pretty solid. Decent characters at first, just enough mystery, just enough drama, just enough depth in the protagonists to keep me engaged. Where it started to lose me was just over halfway through. The skin louse were a creative idea, but I feel like the film didn't commit to that creativity. Instead, It was more of a passing creepy thing used for cliche jumpscares and vent chase/face-hugger horror sequences. How they work and the intricacies of their biology was never discussed. Then there's the big bad himself. Honestly, I was expecting folklore to come into this a lot more. I thought the movie would open with some sort of cool folkloric intro about the Kraken, then at the end it would actually end up going the more Lovecraftian cosmic horror route. Both the monster and the characters kept doing stuff that didn't make any sense, and the scale of the Kraken was wildly inconsistent. All in all, very meh. See more
