Kraken, the debut feature from Mohamed Chabane and Théo Jourdain Rhodes, opens in theaters today. This French horror film brings together Alassane Diong, Manon Bresch, Guillaume Gouix, Bilel Chegrani, Lucie Charles-Alfred, Gazo, and La Mano 1.9.
In a rundown housing project, an abandoned tower fans the rumors as a string of disturbing disappearances multiplies. Forced to return to the building, five young people find themselves trapped and quickly realize that getting out might be impossible.
The film situates its horror tale in a recognizable urban backdrop, turning an abandoned building and the rumors surrounding it into a claustrophobic, closed-off space. The screenplay is by Romain Protat, with Mohamed Chabane and Théo Jourdain Rhodes.
Production is led by Marvelous Productions, in partnership with Riggins Films, Prod Lab, N9ne Studio and Kabo. The film is distributed in France by Pan Distribution.
This French film should not be confused with Kraken, the Norwegian fantasy thriller by Pål Øie now available on Paramount+.
