About Nightborn (2026) — A slow-burn horror about parental fear and hidden evil
Finnish horror maestro Hanna Bergholm (director of *Evil Dead* spin-off *Tainted*) crafts an eerie, forest-smothered nightmare in *Nightborn (2026)* that strips away the veneer of suburban bliss. Saga and her British spouse Jon uproot their dreams to the remote Finnish woods, seeking a picture-perfect life in the cabin Saga once called home. But the arrival of their newborn transforms tranquil isolation into a claustrophobic crucible of dread as Saga becomes convinced something is terribly wrong with the child—while Jon, desperate to hold the family together, struggles to believe her. Bergholm weaves a chilling meditation on parenthood, trust, and creeping supernatural dread in a setting where the trees themselves seem to whisper secrets.
