Ahead of its virtual Sundance premiere next week, IFC Films has released a trailer for the Finnish creature horror Hatching which is directed by Hanna Bergholm and follows a 12-year-old Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) whose discovery of a mysterious egg in the woods turns into a grotesque living nightmare. Watch it here…
In HATCHING, 12-year-old gymnast, Tinja (Siiri Solalinna), is desperate to please her image-obsessed mother, whose popular blog ‘Lovely Everyday Life’ presents their family’s idyllic existence as manicured suburban perfection. One day, after finding a wounded bird in the woods, Tinja brings its strange egg home, nestles it in her bed, and nurtures it until it hatches. The creature that emerges becomes her closest friend and a living nightmare, plunging Tinja beneath the impeccable veneer into a twisted reality that her mother refuses to see.
Hatching arrives in cinemas and on digital platforms on April 29th and features a cast that includes Siiri Solalinna, Jani Volanen, Oiva Ollila, and Reino Nordin.
