  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Egg that hatched too early.

  Hatched revolves around Tinja a 12-year-old gymnast who is desperate to please her image-obsessed mother. After finding a wounded bird in the woods, she brings its strange egg home, nestles it in her bed and nurtures it until it hatches. The creature that emerges soon becomes her closest friend and a living nightmare, plunging Tinja into a twisted reality that her mom refuses to see.

  Hatching can be best described as a "Jack of all trades master of none", as the script tries to be a creature horror and a horror drama centred around the dynamics of a mother and daughter but fails in both the departments.

  Pick any generation one thing that will be…

  Hatching, the latest Finnish body-horror offering that brings forth a grim modern day fairytale, with a setting so suburban you know something is brewing underneath its false pretense and pristine existence. A young girl, Tinja, finds a mysterious egg in the forest, she brings it home and nurtures it, until one day the egg has doubled in size and hatches into something more extensive than what meets the eye. 
  in its demise; allegory after allegory, Hatching tackles too many thematic elements to keep itself afloat; nature vs. nurture, coming-of-age, a fabricated family image, and the mental warfare of a child eager to gain their mothers approval. while the mother/daughter dysfunctional dynamic works for a film so cold, it never reaches…

  Finnish girl finds a flying-type Pokémon that evolves into a feral doppelgänger that uses Metaphor as a signature ability and it’s super effective.

  Lots of vomit.... I'm going to say too much vomit.

  This is a nice creepy film that keeps you engaged for the duration of the story. The visuals are haunting, the concept is really weird, the direction and cinematography is pretty, and the script is fucked up.

  I liked it.

  This was very…WEIRD!! But damn what an inventive way of presenting themes of loneliness and longing, props for originality and the guts to put something so bizarre to film. Bit of a goofy movie overall, all the characters seemed so odd and just a little bit strange, I kinda like that though, made it fun and interesting to watch.

  I had a lot of fun with this. Almost stupid how odd it was. Loved the atmosphere. The beautiful Finnish suburb. The hilarious mum. Always up for a weird horror.

  Hatching is a Finnish body horror film right up my alley. It has disgusting practical effects that bring you back to the eighties with how fun but chilling the puppetry work is. Yet, underneath, there’s a touching story of a young girl craving her perfectionist mother’s admiration and wanting her nuclear family to stay intact. Hanna Bergholm’s directorial debut is a well shot and delightfully original horror film. 

  12 year old Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) wants to make her perfectionist blogger mother (Sophia Heikkilä) proud by winning a gymnastics competition. She discovers a unique egg that hatches into the unimaginable. 

  Director of photography Jarkko T. Laine shot this film in an uncomfortably pristine neighborhood with overly perfect looking wealthy…
