Michael Anderson proves there are more than sharks to fear in the waters. His creature feature/ killer animal film “The Hatching” is a UK production that plays on those same fears created not so long ago by such films as “Alligator”, and more recently “Lake Placid”. The film stars Thomas Turgoose and Sylvia Syms. Saber Films states that “The Hatching” “Does for the moors what “Jaws” did for beaches”– A black comedy/horror movie set in the stunning ‘watery’ Somerset Levels.
Tim Webber, a teenager at boarding school, and his friends Baggy and Nick take a dare to sneak out of the dormitory one night and steal crocodile eggs from a nearby zoo, but the prank ends in tragedy with Nick being killed and Tim taking all responsibility. Fifteen years later, after the death of his father, Tim returns home to Somerset to run the family stone masonry, but there is a sinister undercurrent to the idyllic village setting that seems to harbor a dark secret. People have been disappearing, and it all seems to be centered around the old quarry. Tim meets up again with his old friend Baggy, and to their horror clues mount. It appears that the time has come for both Baggy and Tim to pay for their actions of years ago. Those crocodile eggs that came home with Tim hatched!
