Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm is back with a new dark fable, Nightborn, and based on the film’s first look, it might be just as bloody.
The new image arrives as Nightborn heads to the Berlin International Film Festival next month for its premiere.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star in the film described as ” a visceral, gripping and terrifying dark fable about motherhood and unconditional maternal love.”
Bergholm previously explored the darker aspects of motherhood with her horror fairy tale debut, Hatching, a coming-of-age creature feature about a girl who hatches a mysterious egg found in the woods.
Hatching went to some violent, bloody places, and Nightborn appears to follow suit based on the first image.
Stay tuned.
