The horror genre is evolving - and it has become much more than just a weirdly-written tale of spooks, jump scares and horrors. The Finnish body horror film Hatching is a testament to that, and debuted at the Sundance International Film Festival in January 2022, garnering widespread acclaim. Directed by Hanna Bergholm and written by Ilja Rautsi, the film is a vicious satire of online culture, mocking the stark differences between real and reel life. However, Hatching stretches it to the extreme, the thin fabric of normalcy gets tainted with blood and gore by the end of the film, making it a must-watch for body horror fanatics.
