Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
妈妈脑残 儿子妈宝 爸爸窝囊 女儿有病 一家子凑齐了
一个小故事，但是挺有意思的。虽然开头任务动机有点怪，但后续的一系列很流畅。小姑娘一人分饰两角，演得不错。这个妈也真是绝了，这一家子唯一一个正常人也给祭了。
挺适合带着孩子看的
小演员演的真好 虽然没有看过原著 但是我觉得改编的很成功 一点都不突兀 小世界小巧思罐头小人~
有其母必有其女，教育子女要成才就是在孵化他们去善变残忍的一面，人之初性本恶。导演的恐怖设定有想法 3.5
比较A24的一部重点刻画女性之间的作品，以家庭成长和母女教育关系为切入口，以“孵化”这个命题进行展开
看完孩子问，妈妈，我成绩不好你也是爱我的吧，当然了孩子，这也是我带你看这个电影的原因之一
北欧这类风格的恐怖片可以统一叫做字面意义的“白色恐怖”了，直面的都是现代社会最日常的议题。嗯不过，看的时候总会想，得亏你们这些国家福利制度完善，这点压力就……
挺悲伤一故事 女孩死去 鸟怪取代 没人在意女主的感受 这样家庭下的孩子都是悲哀的
情节其实我不太喜欢，尤其是是集体作弊的情节感觉会给孩子们产生负面影响，但这是宸宝第一次看电影默默流泪，完全沉浸到结尾朋友们冒着生命危险互相救援的情节里了，结尾散场还久久沉思良久，真的挺意外，没想到六岁儿童竟然有如此的共情能力~
有点少女版黑天鹅的意思，完美主义虎妈逼疯小姑娘也逼疯了自己，怪物既是女儿的黑暗面也是妈妈，各种明喻暗喻不要太好理解，“你和你妈妈长得很像”，“它很像谭雅但不是她”，还有抚摸女儿脑袋的手法，和那黑爪子一模一样
北欧国家总是能把一个还不错的恐怖题材拍的又拖又无聊
表面和谐幸福的家庭实际上自私自利虚伪至极 母亲畸形狠毒的“爱”也让女儿“孵化”出了恶魔 把恶女的内心具象化制造出一道道恐怖戏码 深意与新意并存 算是今年目前最喜欢的恐怖片了
带小朋友进电影院看的。小孩子居然看哭了哈哈。泪点有点低哇
可以给到7分，这片子不算恐怖片，或者至少应该是披着科幻背景的恐怖片
哇 好北欧的horror。小女孩太能演了吧。
喜欢北欧电影不解释恶为什么存在，如何形成，它就是自然的一部分，生命的一部分，善恶都是人自以为是的分类。而“成材”本身，过上人上人的生活，它一定不是一个把善良注入灵魂的过程，而更多的时候，是在注入暴力残忍杀戮。生存本就是残酷的游戏。而这个电影里，母亲的养育方式最终杀死了所谓“善良”的孩子，当她看到鸟孩重生之后凶狠的样子，母亲还似乎挺满意的，这个孩子会去拿奖牌、会让她开心。

7分。挺有意思的一个片子，整个电影充满了各种隐喻。每个人都能从中看到你想看到的部分。不知怎么想起了浦泽直树的《MONSTER》：“你看，它已经这么大了！”。小姑娘分饰两边只能说中规中矩，最后的蜕变尽管已经猜到，但实际看还是挺有那么股味儿的~~~
北欧清新风的一部家庭问题导致成长恶化的90分钟小片，特效还算细致，可惜相似的类型和观感太多，感觉没太出彩
