This warped fairy tale from Finland hits the ground running with a wonderful opening scene that really sets the tone.

A perfect family (husband, wife, young son and daughter) enjoys a perfect moment in the perfect living room of their perfect home.

But then, an uninvited guest makes an appearance.

Like a Poe-esque harbinger of doom, a jet black raven swoops in through an open window and destroys this idyllic tableau of domestic bliss.

And then things get really strange.

Hatching is essentially a coming-of-age story, a little like ET, if it was directed by Ari Aster instead of Steven Spielberg.

With great performances by Sophia Heikkila as the selfie-stick wielding stage mom and her long suffering daughter, played by Sirii Solalinna, this is a very promising debut feature from Hanna Bergholm.

Uncanny, unsettling and unpredictable.

The movie is one of the most disturbing movies i have ever seen, and i have seen many movies. The movie starts off by having the mother seemingly kill a crow, because she flew into the house and destroyed some things. The crow is not dead yet though and flies into the woods, where the daughter Tinja finds the crow nearly dead. She finishes the crow off by killing the crow with a stone, which is absolutely disturbing, she completely destroys the head of the crow, really hard to watch. Then Tinja finds an egg next to the crow which she takes with her. We find out that the mother is cheating with a man called Tero. The mother is my most hated character i have ever seen in the least amount of time, i absolutely despise her, she is disgusting!
