What's Happening?
The film 'Kraken', set in Norway's Sognefjord, combines action and environmental themes. Directed by Pål Øie, the movie features marine researcher Johanne, played by Sara Khorami, who investigates mass salmon strandings linked to a local fish farm. The farm,
run by Erik, uses advanced sonic delousing pods that disrupt the ecosystem, angering a mythical kraken. The film balances horror elements with a moralistic message about environmental disruption, as the kraken selectively targets those responsible for ecological harm.
