About The Abyss
Kiruna, a Swedish town carved into ice and ore, is literally sinking as the earth shifts beneath it. In the midst of this crisis, Frigga Vibenius, the level headed security chief of the underground mining operation, is pulled between two fierce loyalties: her duty to protect the community and her responsibility to her family. As a disaster scenario unfolds, the tension isn't just about surviving the tremors and collapsing tunnels, but about making hard ethical calls when every choice has consequences. The film follows Frigga's attempts to keep people safe while navigating the personal cost to those closest to her. The situation tests not only the town's physical resilience but the bonds that hold neighbors together and asks who bears the burden when the ground fails. Its atmosphere lingers after the credits.
The Abyss arrives in 2023 as a Nordic thriller created by Richard Holm, Robin Sherlock Holm, and Nicola Sinclair. The project features Tuva Novotny, Peter Franzén, Kardo Razzazi, Felicia Truedsson, and Angela Kovács in a tense, character driven setup.
Box office data for The Abyss have not been publicly released. The film circulated primarily in Nordic markets and accrued modest visibility on international platforms, making a precise commercial picture difficult to gauge.
At present there are no widely reported nominations or wins for The Abyss. Some critics highlight its commitment to character driven drama within a high tension setting. The absence of major awards does not erase its ambition or the questions it raises about leadership under pressure.
Audiences give the film a mixed reception, reflected by a 5.7/10 average from 301 votes. The story probes resilience under pressure, the cost of leadership, and the ethics of security in a collapsing town, inviting discussion about duty and family. Some viewers emphasized the film's stark atmosphere and the moral weight carried by Frigga.
