The Geekz crack open another eerie entry in our 31 Days of Horror marathon with Hatching (2022) — a Finnish body-horror gem that blends psychological terror, motherhood, and monstrous transformation. When a young gymnast discovers a strange egg in the woods, she decides to care for it… but what hatches is beyond her imagination and control.

In our review, we discuss the film’s haunting atmosphere, disturbing creature design, and how this low-budget indie manages to deliver genuine chills and emotional depth. We’ll dive into the powerful performance by Siiri Solalinna, the eerie direction by Hanna Bergholm, and the unsettling blend of fairy tale and body horror that makes Hatching stand out from typical creature features. Was this low-budget movie worth the time — or just another strange art-house experiment? Find out as we continue reviewing 31 horror movies for all 31 days of October!
