Kraken: Gazo and La Mano 1.9 in a French horror film
Summary
A housing project, a walled tower, rumors that refuse to die. Something, up there, draws in those who approach, and disappearances rise like black water. On September 30, 2026, Gazo and La Mano 1.9 dive into Kraken, the first horror film from French rap.

Gazo and La Mano 1.9 on the big screen: their first horror film
We knew them on the mic. We will have to get used to seeing them light up the screen. Gazo, one of the most streamed rappers in France, and La Mano 1.9, a rising figure in drill, sign with Kraken their first major foray into cinema. A bold leap.
Around them, a cast that doesn’t play around: Manon Bresch (Mortel), Alassane Diong and Guillaume Gouix share the screen. Behind the camera, Mohamed Chabane and Théo Jourdain Rhodes; distribution by Pan Distribution. The two rappers don’t dip a toe—they dive in.
Why is Kraken not like other French horror films?
The answer lies in one image: an abandoned tower at the heart of a housing project, a series of disappearances, a crew with no choice but to go back up there. Kraken plants its horror in French working-class neighborhoods, a terrain that genre cinema has hardly ever dared to explore.
The trailer is already circulating and the rap community is holding its breath. At Project X Paris, we are closely watching this cultural shock. Thought you’d seen all French horror had to offer? Kraken invites you to go one floor deeper.
The housing project swallows everything
For years, rap has told the story of the housing project through lyrics. On September 30, it films it from below, where the light no longer reaches. Kraken opens the abyss of French cinema, and the countdown has begun.
