The cracks in a picture perfect family begin to show, then grow in Hanna Bergholm’s Hatching, until it hatches into something grotesque and dangerous. The brand new trailer debuting ahead of the film’s Sundance virtual premiere next week gives a glimpse at what that might be.
Check it out below, via Vulture.
In Hatching, “12-year-old gymnast Tinja tries desperately to please her mother, a woman obsessed with presenting the image of a perfect family life to the world through her popular blog. Then, one night, Tinja finds a strange egg. She hides it, she keeps it warm. And when it hatches, what emerges is beyond belief.”
Ilja Rautsi wrote the screenplay, and Siiri Solalinna, Sophia Heikkila, Jani Volanen, Oiva Ollila, and Reino Nordin star.
Star Wars, Jurassic World and Prometheus veteran Gustav Hoegen serves as animatronics designer, and effects make-up designer Conor O’Sullivan has worked on “Game of Thrones”, X-Men: First Class and The Hours.
Hatching releases in theaters and on VOD on April 29, 2022.
