FINALLY, a movie worthy of the annual horror movie countdown! Hatching (2022) was brilliant. A strange tale of a young girl desperate to please her image-obsessed mother; Tinja takes pity on an orphaned egg, and hatches it, to disastrous effect. Body/transformation horror at its finest, without relying on CGI. A banger of a debut feature film from Finnish director Hanna Bergholm! Recommended for fans of Raw (2016), When Animals Dream (2014), and Ginger Snaps (2000).
