Hatching

In the film’s climax, Tinja’s transformation into a creature that closely resembles herself reaches its horrifying conclusion. The monster Alli becomes almost an extension of her psyche, revealing the dark, suppressed feelings Tinja has been unable to express openly. As her mother attempts to kill Alli, Tinja intervenes, and in the chaos, she is accidentally stabbed by her mother. Blood gushes from her wound, and she collapses, coughing up blood. Suddenly, Alli’s face begins to shift—its cheeks tear apart and flesh fills the gaps where the monstrous mouth once was, transforming into a nearly exact replica of Tinja, complete with her eyes. The creature then utters the word “mother,” symbolizing how Alli has become an embodiment of Tinja’s own suppressed desires, her feelings of jealousy, anger, and pain. The family witnesses this horrifying metamorphosis, leading to a moment of tragic realization that the monstrous creature is now a mirror image of Tinja herself, illustrating how her internal struggles have manifested into a literal, terrifying entity. In the end, the line between Tinja and Alli blurs completely, revealing that her darker, hidden self has taken on a physical form and has become indistinguishable from her. This chilling finale suggests that Tinja’s inner darkness has taken over her outward identity, reflecting her journey into emotional suppression and the monstrous consequences of hiding her true feelings.
