Kraken (2026) Review: A Norwegian Myth Awakens in the Depths of Sognefjord

Image
source: watch.plex.tv Synopsis: Kraken (2026) is a fantasy thriller film directed by Pål Øie and Sjur Aarthun . A marine biologist named Johanne is asked to travel to Vangsnes, Norway , to investigate a salmon farm at the deep of Sognefjord . At first, it seems like just a series of strange incidents: fish behaving oddly, equipment malfunctioning, and two teenagers brutally killed. All signs point to the depths of the fjord. There is something down there, something that has been awakened by the noise of technology and the construction of the salmon farm. Anything that moves or makes a sound will be destroyed. Together with Erik, Johanne must face the creature before it is too late. Critics have praised the silent atmosphere of the Norwegian fjord, and the cold cinematography creates an incredibly chilling mood.

Deep Water (2026) Review: Renny Harlin’s Shark Survival Thriller Delivers Pure Tension

Image
source: flickdirect.com Synopsis: Deep Water (2026), directed by Renny Harlin , follows passengers of a commercial flight forced to survive after their plane crashes into the Pacific Ocean. Trapped on wreckage in shark-infested waters, they battle not only nature but also fear, human conflict, and moral dilemmas. With a vibe similar to Open Water and Flight but higher psychological tension, Harlin returns to survival thrillers with a claustrophobic setting that keeps viewers breathless. Critics highlighted the film’s tense atmosphere on the plane wreckage and open sea. The shark effects feel more realistic than typical low-budget survival movies. While the pacing is fast with no filler, the plot is predictable and character development could be deeper. This film stars: Aaron Eckhart , Ben Kingsley , Angus Sampson , Li Wenhan , Molly Belle Wright and more. In my opinion: Wow, this is insane, this film is truly awesome. It starts with a disaster and then escalates into survival aga...
