Hatching
AroView: Hanna Bergholm’s feature debut has finally put Finland on the horror film map – an enchanting pubescent allegory about a 12-year-old girl stuck in the ‘perfect’ pastel nuclear family. She comes under excessive maternal pressure to exceed at gymnastics, but push-back comes in the form of a mysterious crow’s egg she is secretly nurturing which, once hatched, will wreak irrevocable havoc in the nest.
“A smartly constructed fright machine, not only introduces a new and exciting voice to the horror landscape but cracks its way through the brain like a beak through a shell.” ~Robert Daniels, The Playlist
