Following a successful run on the global film festival circuit, Red Water Entertainment has announced the North American VOD premiere of Rasmus Merivoo’s “Kratt.”
The film tells the story of children left at their grandma’s without smartphones. Real life seems dull; working feels hard. Luckily they find instructions for Kratt – a magical creature from old Estonian mythology who will do whatever its master says. All they have to do now is buy a soul from the Devil, and life stops being boring in a bloody way…
“Kratt” stars Mari Lill, Nora Merivoo, Harri Merivoo, Elise Tekko, Roland Treima, Mari-Liis Lill, and Marek Tammets. The film was written and directed by Rasmus Merivoo, with Rain Rannu and Tõnu Hiielaid.
“Kratt” made its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival and went on to delight audiences at festivals around the world, including Screamfest, the Sydney Underground Film Festival, Other Worlds Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival, and Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. At the Estonian Film and TV Awards, Mari Lill took home the award for Best Actress, while Rasmus Merivoo scored a nomination for Best Screenplay.
The Estonian dark comedy will be available on several digital and cable platforms, including iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, iNDemand, and DISH, beginning October 11.
