Prime Video has just released the official trailer for its upcoming original film Octopus!, and it’s already making waves online as one of the most outrageous and entertaining creature features in years. A thrilling blend of deep-sea horror, disaster spectacle, and tongue-in-cheek humor, Octopus! promises an unforgettable ocean adventure with a monstrous twist.
Set in the depths of the Pacific, the trailer opens with a chilling sonar transmission: an underwater drilling station suddenly goes dark, and the last message heard is a single terrified scream—followed by the sound of twisting metal and suction. Cut to chaos: rogue waves, shattered ships, and giant tentacles rising from the deep.
Starring Oscar Isaac as marine biologist Dr. Adrian Wells and Awkwafina as a feisty deep-sea engineer, the film follows a desperate race to uncover the truth behind a series of attacks linked to a rapidly mutating cephalopod with unprecedented intelligence. “It’s not just a giant octopus,” Isaac warns in the trailer. “It’s learning.”
With cutting-edge visual effects and thrilling underwater action, the trailer teases tense submarine chases, seaquake-triggered tsunamis, and a jaw-dropping mid-air battle between a military helicopter and a tentacle the size of a skyscraper. Prime Video’s production looks slick and cinematic, blending The Meg, Godzilla, and The Abyss into one colossal showdown.
A surprise reveal near the end hints at the creature’s origin: an abandoned Cold War biolab buried beneath the ocean floor—suggesting that humanity may be responsible for awakening the beast. The trailer closes with Awkwafina shouting, “We’re gonna need a much bigger boat—and maybe a backup planet!”
Fans online are loving the balance of B-movie charm and blockbuster energy, with hashtags like #OctopusMovie, #TentacleTerror, and #PrimeGoesDeep already trending.
Octopus! premieres exclusively on Prime Video on September 5, 2025, just in time for a late-summer splash of fear and fun.
The ocean has secrets. And now… it’s coming for us.
