Spring (2014) steamed on Shudder - 3.5/5
Slik has been suggesting this to me for a few weeks now so I gave it a go. This is like the Lost in Translation of horror films. Slightly understated at times in a very lovely way, but laced with certain elements of the supernatural and horror that keep it within that genre and unlike any other horror films you've seen. I don't want to spoil the story because a lot of the enjoyment I had was knowing very little about the happenings that were before me. But I will say this is a lovely horror film, strong acting and concept. As far as the script goes there are some times where I didn't like the dialogue, very similar feelings with The Endless. They have great concept ideas but the dialogue is a little too expository for my liking, meaning the writers is too obvious when telling the story through the dialogue. Again less so in Spring than The Endless.
