Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you
a body horror film: "Hatching"! Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care!
The film begins with Tinja, a 12-year-old gymnast, getting filmed by her influencer
and former figure skater mother. The family lives in a comfortable and spacious home,
where they show their viewers and followers how lovely their Finnish family is.
While ending the vlog, a crow suddenly flies through the window, and creates
a mess by destroying the expensive vases and chandelier. Tinja slowly and calmly approaches it,
and puts a blanket over it before giving it to her mother. However, her mother snaps its neck.
Although saddened by its death, Tinja disposes of it in the trash can outside,
as instructed by her mother. While outside, Tinja meets their neighbor, Reetta, who has a French
bulldog. Tinja tries to pet the dog. but she snarls at her, and tries to bite her fingers off.
Reetta apologizes for her dog's behavior; but Tinja dismisses it as she's not hurt.
Later that day, the mother shows Tinja their new vlog introduction, showing what a perfect family
they are. Tinja informs her mother about the new neighbors, and how Reetta invited
her to come over tomorrow. However, her mother reminds her to prepare for the competition.
Later that night, Tinja wakes up from the sound of cawing; so she leaves their house and follows it,
leading to the woods, where she finds the crow still injured. She tries to help it; but her good
intention hurts it more. So she takes a stone and beats it to death, ending its misery.
Just then, she sees an egg, presumably why the crow returned to the woods. Guilty of
causing death upon the crow, Tinja takes the egg home, and incubates it under her teddy bear.
The following day, during practice, Tinja struggles to make a beautiful landing.
Her coach encourages her to trust herself, and not overwork herself; so her improvement
will be consistent, until she's ready for the competition. After the practice, Tinja jogs
her way home, where she finds her mother in an intimate embrace with the repairman.
The two immediately break the embrace, as the man sees Tinja. Her mother casually introduces
the man as Tero, and then instructs her to change her gymnastics clothes.
Not long after, her mother comes into her room, and gives her a shimmering custom that she can
wear for the competition. However, her silence tips off her mother that she saw their affair.
Her mother tries to explain her situation with Tero, and asks Tinja to keep her affair between
them. Tinja agrees; and her mother informs her that she will be gone for a few days. Days later,
while they're filming, the mother returns home from what she claims is a business trip.
Later that day, Tinja cannot hide her shock as she checks the egg, which has gotten bigger. It
hasn't hatched yet; so she hides it inside her teddy bear to continue its incubation.
The following day, Tinja and Reetta unexpectedly reunite during practice. Tinja's improving;
but Reetta does her routine perfectly, which impresses the coach and the mother.
So after the training hours, her mother pushes Tinja to her limits, and pressures her to do
the perfect landing as Reetta did. Tinja gets blisters on her hands from overdoing it; but her
mother doesn't care about that. Eventually, she does the land; but it still needs improvement.
Later that night, as she touches the egg, Tinja notices that light illuminates inside;
and the creature moves along with her fingers. Later, she goes to her mother's room,
where her mother confesses that she's in love, making Tinja giddy and happy for her.
However, she's not in love with her husband; it's with Tero, which erases the smile on Tinja's face.
Tinja worries about her father, because she doesn't fully understand the situation.
She returns to her room and hugs the egg, which has gotten humungous that it cannot fit
inside her teddy bear anymore. Just then, her tears of sadness prompt the egg to hatch.
She hides in her closet, and watches as the creature inside the egg escapes through the
window. She immediately covers her bed with her comforter, as her father enters
and finds the broken window. Tinja tells him that a large bird has broken into her room;
and they clean the glass shards from the broken window the following day.
Later that night, Tinja wakes up from the sound of cawing; and when she checks her window,
she finds the creature there. Tinja backs away in fear as the creature crawls toward her. She
observes its features, and notices that it's like an evolved species of a bird. It doesn't harm her,
and points out to its left arm, which was injured by a glass shard last night.
Tinja reluctantly removes it; and the creature holds her hand, and takes it to its head,
guiding her on petting it. Tinja realizes it's not harmful; so she takes it to the bathtub to
clean it, as its body stinks. While playing with the water, Tinja's younger brother tries to enter
to pee. Tinja immediately holds the door, and pushes her brother away until he leaves.
After helping it clean itself, they return to her bedroom. Tinja sleeps on the bed, while
the creature sleeps underneath. While asleep, Tinja becomes annoyed by Reetta's dog's constant
barking. This wakes up the creature; so it leaves her room; and Tinja wakes up not long after,
and finds it on top of her. Its slimy saliva drops on her face; but she endures it. right then,
the creature moves her head to the left, where she finds the dog's decapitated corpse.
The disgusting scene before her, prompts her to vomit, to which the creature eats the way
baby birds are fed by their parents. Tinja wraps the dead dog with a towel, and buries
it in their yard; and unbeknownst to her, her brother's watching. She returns to her room,
and pets the creature underneath the bed, when her brother barges in with their father.
It turns out, her brother told their father about the incident last night in the bathroom.
Their father is about to scold Tinja's behavior, when he sees a little blood on her bedsheet. He
immediately thinks that Tinja has gotten her first period; so he takes the boy out of the room.
The following day, Tinja runs into her gymnastics mates at the pet store.
The others think that she's weird, just because she's shy. but Reetta is unlike them. Tinja walks
home with Reetta; and on the way, Reetta gives Tinja the missing papers of her dog to post.
Tinja returns home where her mother gives her a new hairbrush, that she uses on her beautiful
and straight hair. Her brother sees the missing paper for the dog, and goes out of the house.
Not long after, he returns carrying the dog's decapitated corpse, and tells their parents that
he saw Tinja killed and buried it. Tinja remains silent as their parents scold her brother.
As the kid that he is, her brother pushes her before stomping his way out. Tinja's falling
to the floor, wakes up the creature; and her brother sees its silhouette moving in her room.
He comes in and checks the underneath of the bed; and the creature quickly shows itself.
While he backs away in fear, Tinja suddenly suffers from a seizure. In a desperate
attempt to stop her from moving, the mother slaps Tinja, which successfully stops the seizure.
Tinja returns to her senses; while her brother storms out of the room, to tell their parents
about the thing living underneath Tinja's bed. The mother checks her room, and finds her competition
cloth torn up. As she looks up, Tinja finds the creature hiding. The mother leaves with the cloth,
disappointed as she thinks that the competition is not important for Tinja.
Later that day, Tinja eats the bird food that she bought, causing her to vomit. The undigested food
from her, gets eaten by the creature; and as it finishes, Tinja hears it say, "Alli." From then,
Tinja starts calling her Alli; and she dresses her up with one of her dresses.
Later that night, while they're asleep, Alli sneaks into the mother's room,
and leaves her slimy goo on the mother's hand and thigh. The mother soon wakes up,
and sees a silhouette passing by just outside her room. The mother checks the house holding
a knife, after seeing a piece of black feather on her white carpet. Suddenly,
her son comes running to her, and tells her that Tinja is a mother. The mother calms him down,
and tells him that it's a nightmare. The following day, Tinja dresses up Alli again,
and even brushes her hair, telling her that she's beautiful. During practice,
Reetta shows an excellent performance, earning her the spot in the competition.
This causes the mother to subtly compares Tinja's performance to Reetta, pressuring her.
As the practice ends, the mother offers Reetta a ride home; but she kindly refuses,
as she likes walking home. On the way home, Tinja worryingly asks her mother to turn around,
as she feels Alli following Reetta, through a psychic link that connects them.
At that same time, Reetta feels someone behind. but whenever she turns around, there's no one.
She starts running, and then checks the road one more time; and this time, Alli shows herself in
a more human form without her beak. Reetta screams in horror, while Tinja suffers from
a quick seizure, as Alli harms a human being. As they return, Tinja immediately looks for Alli;
but all she finds in the closet is the beak. The following day, the mother reminds Tinja about
staying over at Tero before the competition. After that, she leaves Tinja with her father,
who confirms that he knows about the affair. He tells Tinja that he respects the mother by
knowing what she wants; but deep inside, he's more than hurt, as his wife found someone else.
They soon arrive at Tero's home, where Tinja learns that he's a widower,
with an infant named Helmi. The mother holds the baby in her arms, like Helmi came from her.
Later that night, Alli shows up outside her door; so Tinja lets her in. As they sleep together,
Tinja cannot help but notice that Alli's becoming more human, with her stance and blond hair.
The following day, Tero makes Tinja comfortable in his house, and even makes her laugh.
Later that day, she visits Reetta in the hospital, and notices that she has severe injuries,
especially her amputated left hand. Reetta suddenly grabs her arm, and lets out a terrified
scream that scares her. So she breaks free and runs away; while Reetta continues to scream.
As soon as they return home, Tinja locks herself in her room, and breaks down into tears,
as she realizes what Alli had done to Reetta. She screams at Alli,
scolding her for her impulsive actions; and then she repeatedly hits herself,
in order to hurt Alli because of their psychic link. Alli stops her before she
can hurt both of them anymore, and lets her cry in her arms to calm her.
Tinja wakes up not long after, and notices that Alli is beginning to look more like her.
She leaves her room, and goes to the workshop where she finds Tero. He gives her a pair of
grips, with her name engraved on them; so she can wear them for the competition.
As she's comfortable around him, Tinja shows him how to do different types of cartwheels.
but she constantly fails with aerial. Tero stops her before she can hurt herself; and he knows
from the look on her face that she's only doing gymnastics, because of her mother's pressure on
her. To ease her, Tero tries out the cartwheel, and laughs at himself when he fails.
Just then, they hear Alli making a bird sound; so Tinja immediately excuses herself. Tero follows
her not long after. when Tinja refuses to talk to him, he forces the door to open, only to find Alli
eating Tinja's vomit. This causes her to charge at him; but Tinja on the side immediately closes the
door, injuring Tero's hand in the process. Tinja hides behind the door; so Tero thinks Alli is
Tinja. Shortly after, while he's wrapping bandages around his injured arm, Tinja comes out.
She apologizes for what happened, and tells Tero that she can take the bus home;
so he will never see her again. Tero calmly refuses that, and claims there's no need for it.
but he suggests talking about her strange behavior with the mother.
Tinja immediately pleads with him not to. Tinja's about to tell him about Alli,
when her mother comes in to fetch her for the competition. Tero lies to her, and says that he
injured himself while working in the workshop. During practice outside, Tero cannot help but
notice how perfectionist and strict Tinja's mother is, when it comes to Tinja. But when it
comes to Helmi, she's very loveable and sweet. As Tinja observes them, she sees Alli standing by
the window; so she repeatedly asks her mother to take Helmi with them; but she refuses.
While at the venue, Tinja cannot help but be worried for Helmi. Meanwhile, her mother
live-streams the competition with the family. As she begins her routine, her connection with
Alli strengthens; and she can see her taking Tero's ax to kill Helmi,
in an act precipitated by Tinja's perception that her mother is trying to start a new family.
Alli is about to kill Helmi, when Tinja sabotages herself by injuring her wrist,
stopping Alli in the process. Tero sees Alli in Helmi's room; but she quickly flees through
the door before he can catch her. Tero holds Helmi in his arms, worried and scared.
As soon as they return to his house, Tero ends his relationship with the mother, because he believes
that Tinja has some serious problems, thinking she's Alli. The mother tries to work things out;
but she soon enters the car angrily, and suddenly hits her face on the steering wheel.
She begins to bleed; but she drives and comes home, like nothing happened. Alli follows them;
but Tinja pushes her away, refusing to let her come in. After that, she observes
as her mother tries to maintain their family image on camera; but she fails miserably.
Meanwhile, the father accidentally finds Alli outside, and lets her come into Tinja's room,
believing that she's Tinja. While she's cleaning herself, the mother enters her room, and finds
Alli in the closet. Thinking she's Tinja too, the mother starts brushing her hair. but then she uses
too much force that she accidentally chunks off Alli's hair. The mother backs away in terror; but
Alli embraces her, and dugs her nails on her back, causing Tinja to hear them. Tinja rushes to remove
Alli from her mother. As they stand side by side, the mother notices the uncanny resemblance.
Alli charges at the mother; but Tinja quickly intervenes, and repeatedly screams that no one
wants her. Alli's mouth splits open as she flees, while Tinja explains to her mother
that the recent events are all Alli's doing. The mother comforts Tinja, before giving her a knife
to protect themselves from Alli. While searching for her, the father and the brother show up.
The mother tells them about Alli, and then returns to Tinja's room, where Alli attacks and
overpowers her. She reaches for the knife as Tinja enters, and warns her not to hurt Alli; but it's
too late. The mother stabs Alli in the thigh, creating exactly the same wound on Tinja.
Realizing that she may die if Alli does, Tinja blocks the next stab; but the knife goes straight
to her heart. In shock, the mother removes the knife, causing Tinja to fall over Alli.
Surprisingly, Alli takes some of Tinja's blood, transforming her pupils to fully look human,
and heals the opening of her mouth. The film ends with the mother breaking down into tears,
as she realizes that she just killed the perfect daughter she could ever have. Meanwhile, Alli
stands before the mother, representing everything she hates and dislikes, as a perfectionist and
feigned influencer. The way Allie turns into Tinja, tells exactly how Tinja has been forced
to change from a timid and obedient girl, into a girl full of hatred and indifference.
