Nightborn (2026) is a dark and disturbing Finnish horror film that takes the fears of new motherhood and turns them into something truly terrifying.
In this episode, we talk about Nightborn—what we liked, what worked for us, and some of the things that really stood out. We dive into the film’s themes of motherhood, postpartum depression, maternal anxiety, accepting your child, Mother Nature, folklore, isolation, and the pressure to be the “perfect” parent.
We also talk about whether the real horror is the baby… or what motherhood does to Saga.
We also get into the film’s creepy atmosphere, body horror, performances, practical effects, and the way Nightborn blends Finnish folklore with psychological horror.
Nightborn is directed by Hanna Bergholm and stars Seidi Haarla, Rupert Grint, Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey, and John Thomson.
It is a Finnish-led international horror production from Finland, Lithuania, France, and the UK.
So… is the baby really a monster, or is there something much deeper going on?
