About this film in updates: New review: "Yön lapsi": When a baby becomes a real horror - and that'...

About the film

Saga and her husband Jon move to an isolated house deep in the Finnish woods, a place connected to Saga’s childhood. After the birth of their long-awaited son, what should have been the beginning of a happy family life soon takes a disturbing turn. Saga begins noticing strange changes in her baby’s behavior. While Jon and those around her dismiss her concerns as exhaustion and the pressures of new motherhood, Saga becomes increasingly convinced that something is deeply wrong. As the family grows more isolated, the old house begins to reveal a darker connection to Saga’s past, and the line between a mother’s fears and a terrifying reality starts to disappear.

Editorial review

Finnish horror "Child of the Night / Yön lapsi (2026)" is not just another story about monsters, it is a very strange film, with its own atmosphere, which is definitely not for everyone. It is a dark and bloody metaphor for parenthood, where sleepless nights and the endless crying of a baby turn into real horror. We tell you why this film is worth your attention, but only if you are ready to step over yourself and endure disgust in the film.
