Interesting facts

The Hatching is a 2014 British black comedy horror film directed and co-written by Michael Anderson. It stars Andrew-Lee Potts, Jack McMullen, Laura Aikman, Thomas Turgoose and Justin Lee Collins. The film's plot follows Tim (Potts), a man who returns to his hometown in Somerset, England, to find that the locals are being menaced by killer crocodiles.

Production

Filming took place in November and December 2013 in West Pennard. Around 60 to 70 Somerset residents volunteered to be background extras, playing such roles as villagers and pub patrons.

During production, a crocodile was reported as being sighted in central Bristol, leading members of the public to contact the film's production team, concerned that one of the crocodiles used during filming may have escaped. The animal trainer for the film, Aria Das Neves, stated that, "While we can confirm we did film with live crocodiles I have contacted the relevant holding zoos and they confirm that all our crocodiles are accounted for."
