Our take

A marine biologist investigates strange deaths at a fish farm in a fjord in this creature thriller. Rated US NR in Norway for intense atmosphere, dramatic scenes and badly injured victims. Monster peril, implied teen fatalities, bloody aftermath talk and regular s-word and f-word use appear. Best for teens who handle Jaws-style eco-horror rather than younger kids.

Uplifting themes

Environmental concern runs through the plot, though fear and corporate pressure dominate

Story (may spoil tone)

A marine biologist is doing research on a fish farm when she encounters several strange occurrences. Along with the brutal deaths of two teenagers, all signs point to the deep fjord; can there be more to the depths than the eye can see?

Talk after watching

  • The story ties fish-farm pollution to a deep-sea threat. How do movies use monsters to talk about environmental damage?
  • Teen deaths are referenced early. How does off-screen harm affect you differently from on-screen violence?
