Weird, creepy and pretty awesome (spoilers after a warning)

Bizarre, and all the better for it perhaps?

Love it or hate it you won't forget this film in a hurry. On balance I think I sort of loved it for the most part.It is bold and brazen in its approach, unafraid to be unapologetically weird. Alongside the striking imagery there are some interesting themes to pick through, particularly surrounding motherhood and social media, which added an interesting layer to the film.The plot is as bizarre a plot as I've ever seen. It is full of disturbing imagery, cleverly worked set pieces, and just obscene ideas. Some of it didn't quite work for me but it was a gripping film from start to finish nonetheless. When it starts to feel a bit too out there it quickly whips you back in with a wild scene.If you like your horror to be more edgy, surreal, and on the down right odd end of the spectrum, then you'll find a lot to enjoy with this one.

Shell shock

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.
