Spring (2014) Movie Review (LINK)This Review of Spring (2014) has been Sprung on you. With this movie and The Shape of Water (it’s shaped like water), humans can think they can copulate with any random species.

You say you want your horror movies to be infused with a little more talky relationship drama.

You say you want your relationship dramas to be infused with a little bit more blood and gore.

Spring may just be the movie for you. It’s a surprisingly engrossing (as in “ewww gross”) drama/horror mix. If John Cassavetes and Nicole Holofcener and Roman Polanski and Richard Linkater and Rebecca Miller all had an auteur orgy, this is what might have sprung(!) out of their collective womb.

Spring has been compared to Before Sunrise and its garrulous sequels. The comparisons do have merit, but they probably don’t have as much…fluid.

The movie’s written and directed by the law firm/team of Justin Benson (who wrote the movie) and Aaron Moorhead. They wrote and directed the gore-less and disturbing Resolution from a couple of years ago. That movie scared me so much that I changed my name, had plastic surgery and altered my singing voice. I suppose it’s a compliment that Spring feels and looks nothing like Resolution but is still unsettling in its own right.

The plot, what little there is, is pretty thin but don’t let that dissuade you from seeing it.
