Hatching (2022)

I watched this little gem at my local Independent Theater last night. When the movie ended and people were walking out of the theater, I noticed that at least half of the people had big smiles on their faces, as did I. I was thinking about this movie the rest of the night and the first thing when I woke up this morning. This is such a gutsy movie to have made and I applaud everyone involved.

Fmovies: This movie is an excellent metaphorical story of a modern family with people ignoring their real life and family for an online presence.

If you dont look at it as just another horror movie full of jump scares and nonsensical decisions of the actors, and instead see the monster character as the secondary personality that the girl developes, its a good movie.

Plenty of fake reviews abound yet again.

The story is predictable and fairly boring for the most part.

Even though it is well produced and the acting is generally very good, the story really lets it down. There are no real surprises or red herrings that can add intrigue to the story.

An OK watch but nothing memorable about it.

Hatching fmovies. Great Finnish body horror flick about a Tinja, a tween gymnast who finds the nearly dead bird that her mother had supposedly killed. But when the girl finds the barely live bird in the woods it is trying to care for its egg. Tinja puts the bird out of its misery and takes the egg home and hatches it. It comes out as a half bird/half girl monster who loves, and protects, her mama.

Tragic painful coming-of-age story of a sweet child. A unique disturbing horror story. Excellent work by the cast putting up a flawless performance. Potent visuals, shifting to indicate constrasts during stages of the story. Hatching's theme is innovative and storytelling was on point. However the progression seemed to be bit too hasty leaving gaps and rushing towards the end. Nevertheless it's a true gift, a truely artistic emotion inducing story on childhood with a healthy dose of scares too.

I love the Nordiv movie scene and this was looking good from the start with some good puppet animatronics and acting replete with the usual oddball Nordic liberal family values which is often found in Finnish and Swedish dramas but it all went nowhere in the end and soon became tedious and repetitive.

Yes some of it was disgusting, yes there were some deaths but not really much horror and crucially, it was not really very scary and soon became a bit of a body horror bore. Not really much of a horror movie but perhaps this is the Finnish version of horror and maybe they find it very frightening but it seems to me it was just made for shock value and by someone who has some arty pretentions but the premise of the Cuckoo in the nest plotline really fell pretty flat, pretty quickly and in the end lost a star for every 10 of the last dreary, turgid 50 minutes!
