Although anticipation, excitement and audience reception has waned since the MCU’s high point back in 2019, there’s always been one character worth relying on: Spider-Man.

Director Hanna Bergholm impressed horror audiences back in 2022 with her disturbing, coming-of-age body horror Hatching, so viewers are excited to see her back with Nightborn. The film stars Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) and Seidi Haarla (Compartment No.6) who embark on a new chapter as parents in a Finnish forest. New mum Saga’s joy is overshadowed by a chilling suspicion about their newborn, unbeknownst to husband Jon, causing a rift as she alone grapples with the disturbing truth.
