Absolutely superb horror/romance, not a romantic comedy, but ROMANCE

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

Wow, this was a superb movie. I expected one thing – a Lovecraftian horror film, mixing in an American abroad coming across ancient cosmic horrors sort of trope like in _An American Werewolf in London_ or _Afflicted_ – and didn’t know I was, sorry if this is a spoiler, getting a really great romance movie that I got heavily invested in, with a wonderful climax that had nothing to do with death and destruction…ok, it did, but not how I expected to, for it also involved romantic love, Love and Romance starting with capital letters, something Shakespearian. This was a beautiful film, with gorgeous Italian countryside, light touches of humor, deft character development of minor characters, and two very compelling leads who I grew to care a lot about. This was excellent, one of the best films I have seen in a while, a rare film that will appeal to horror fans and to romance fans (maybe romantic comedy fans too, but this wasn’t a romantic comedy but really a true romance).

The movie at first focuses on a young man named Evan (played very well by Lou Taylor Pucci, who shows layers to his character as the movie progresses). Losing his mom to cancer very early on in the film, getting in a bar fight that may land him jail time (and does cost him his job), and having put his life on hold to care for his ailing mother, he very impulsively goes to Italy.

At first spending time with two fun blokes from the UK eating, drinking, and smoking their way across Italy, he soon breaks off from the two when he becomes interested in a local girl in an Italian seaside town, a woman named Louise (played by Nadia Hilker, absolutely perfect in the role). She seems flirtatious, Evan wants to more formally date, and the two hit it off in a whirlwind romance.

Only Louise is hiding a dark secret, things she doesn’t want Evan to see, how her body doesn’t always stay human, she has to take injections without him seeing…I can’t say much more than that, but you have a horror mystery (and body horror) while also getting a wonderful, rapturous romance (and ultimately, weirdly, one supports the other). It’s strange but it really works.

A lot of the film was subtle, with some high-quality cinematography, camera angles, just slightly underplayed at times in a way that really worked without being languorously slow. The world felt real, with care and attention to detail to the minor characters, the two Evan spends time with in the first 23 minutes of the film, a farmer Evan stays with, fully realized characters with a wit and charm about them.

The film sinks or swims though on whether we buy the acting and dialogue of the two main characters and their chemistry together and I absolutely bought it. They are the heart and soul of the film, an intertwining set of plots, one the romantic one, the other what deep, dark, horrifying secret Louise is hiding from Evan. A really great film.

An effective romantic horror film set in a beautiful location

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2022

There's a problem with the story that you either can look past or not. It's a pretty big problem. If you can maintain the suspension of disbelief, I think this movie pays off.

It's paced slowly but not too slow, and it is well-acted. The script is pretty good considering all the cliches and nonsense the genre tends to find inescapable. In a rare turn for a horror movie, the male protagonist is believable, credible, likeable. He doesn't say or do inexplicable things to move the plot forward. The side characters are two-dimensional and a bit stiff, but they don't interfere with the story of the two main characters.

One thing surprising about it -- the characters play with the tension between "natural but unexplained" and "supernatural" without descending to the point where one of the characters has to take a stand for or against religion or science. Usually, when a main character says something about believing science can explain everything, it telegraphs a tedious cliche where either the other character has to challenge them on it, or where the science-believing character has to have a religious moment. This movie doesn't do that, and I respect it a lot for it. The movie is aware of that tension but doesn't attempt to resolve it.

Aside from the gigantic plot hole, it's more than just "good, for a horror movie". I enjoyed it a lot.

An excellent take on the traditional "monster movie"

This is really a fresh take on the traditional "monster movie". I won't go into the plot, since that is available elsewhere. But I will say it is a fresh take on on the love story. Well worth your time and money.

I Found This Rich & Beautiful Movie To Be A Fully Realized Horror Gem

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

If you're looking for a start-to-finish adrenaline rush, a shameless gorefest or even just that mean streak toward humanity in general that often but not always comes along with horror, this movie won't satisfy you. Some people might say this isn't even a horror movie, but a romantic art film that merely plays with some of the elements of horror. There's even a point when our hero, Evan, says that he's living some American housewife's dream, running away to the Italian coast and working as a hand at a tiny olive farm, falling in love and gazing out at the sunsets over the Ocean.

Well, as for me, I'm a supporter of a "Big Tent" definition of the horror genre, and I think there's a place in horror's top tier for soft, intelligent, visually and emotionally powerful horror like this right next to the ruthless carnage of Devil's Rejects or the unflinchingly realistic terror of In Fear.

Spring begins in Southern California but soon moves to Italy. Exotic locations are often just backgrounds for movies, but Spring explores Italy's relics, folklore and history for the dark shadows of plague, torment and tyranny out of which grew the sinister fairy tales and ghost stories from whence our modern traditions of horror first arose, and from whence they still draw strength. And I love the way that the camera keeps seeking out life in all its diversity, giving us glimpses of a scorpion crawling on a wall, a lizard basking at the edge of a doorframe, a spider attacking a fly, two rabbits huddled together in a plastic cage, a snake slithering through the decaying head of a sheep lying dead in a ditch.

I cannot say enough good things about the cast in this movie. The two leads I could watch forever, and the supporting cast is perfect, right down to the bewildered woman sitting at the front of the church as the film is drawing to a close.

Again, there is nothing over-the-top in this film. I love over-the-top, don't get me wrong, but never forget that sometimes slow and steady wins the race.

LOVE It!!!!

I REALLY like this film!! I'm sure there might be criticisms that could be levied at it, but I don't care. I LOVE this film!! It is a combination of horror and romance. The story is wonderful. The filming is wonderful. The scenery is WONDERFUL!!!! Now, I want nothing more than to travel to Polignano a Mare, on the east coast of the "boot" of Italy where much of this was filmed (after the intial scenes which take place in the United States).

I bouth 2 copies of the DVD of this film just to get the different cover art.

The "Extras" on the DVD add so much to the viewing experience.

And let me ask YOU what was asked of all who made the film - "Would YOU trade the experiences of LOVE for IMMORTALITY?" (Watch the "Extras" to see their answers and comments!)

foul, rude and derogatory towards women but they seem ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2015

Life isn't going very well for Evan, he held his mother's hand as her withered body gave out it's final breath. Traumatised and angry at the world for her death, he decides to go for a drink with a friend to drown his sorrows. Drunk, grieving and angry, Evan quickly finds himself the attention of a barroom drunk. However rather than walking away Evan chooses to lash out and give the drunk a sound beating.

Rather than just going for the simple revenge beating at the hands of his friends the drunk reports Evan's attack to the police. Not wanting to face the police Evan takes a trip to Italy.

Initially Evan meets up with a pair of obnoxious drunken English tourists. Loudmouthed, foul, rude and derogatory towards women but they seem to be what he is looking for to take his mind off what has happened to him.

Then everything changes one evening when Evan encounters the mysterious and sensual Louise. He is instantly infatuated with her, a stunning beauty who is only interested in a casual relationship,there and then, she won't even agree to a date the next night. When he lucks out and she leaves Evan knows he must find her then convince her to go on a date.

And this is when things start to get very weird. ...
That's about all I want to say about the actual plot as to talk about it any further would disarm the film of a lot of what makes it such an effective film. It is a hard film to classify, a horror / science fiction romance / fairy tale is probably how I would describe it. Please don't be put of by the romance part of this film, be very aware this is no wishy washy magnolia nonsense like Twilight.

Spring is a captivating, dream-like film that has an almost ethereal quality to it. An emotionally charged film that breaths new life into the star crossed lovers type story that has become a staple of all writing and film production. A Romeo and Juliet for the horror fans. Louise's Juliet is an emotionally neutral character almost devoid of human emotions, in certain ways she is similar to the character that Scarlett Johanson played in Under the Skin, she is sensual and passionate, but totally devoid of normal human emotions, incapable of feeling love, she is almost like an alien among us.

Counter to this is Evan, headstrong, impatient and a man who is ruled by his heart. His initial feelings of lust are quickly by love, or at least what he feels as love.

Credit has to be given to the two leads as a lot of what makes this film so special is their performances. Nadia Hilker's performance as Louise is amazing. Her character is standoffish and somewhat aloof as a result of her curse or gift, yet we still warm to her and care for her. We feel her fear at what is to come, and we feel sad at a life without the one true love.

Lou Taylor Pucci's performance is equally assured, despite coming across as rather childish and annoying determined to get what he wants, and prone to tantrums if he doesn't get it. And yet, we still want him to get the girl. However it is when he shares the screen with the object of his affection that the film transcends into a poetic and magical experience. Their performances play of each other turning their story in to a graceful and truly romantic experience. The wonderfully natural dialogue adds layers to the overall effect of the story, even if at times Evan would say things that you wouldn't expect him to say.

A horror film that relies not on cliched jump scares and sudden loud noises to unsettle the audience is a rare thing. Spring builds the horror and general feeling of dread from a slow build of atmosphere. The horror comes more from the plight of Louise and realization that she as seen so much death and loss, too much for any one person.

The cinematography of the film is sublime, glorious long shots of the sun drenched Italian landscape combined with a sumptuous score that captures every nuance of the film perfectly lend the film a magical quality all of its own.

My only problem I had with the film is when we get an info dump about Louise's condition. The scientific explanation felt somewhat put of place in a film that invokes certain Lovecraftian themes. The info dump allows for a full explanation of the final scene of the film, I just wish the filmmakers were more confident in not just their film but at our ability to get the film. The final scene could still have played out the way it did without the explanation and I still think most of us would still have understood it. Sometimes we just don't need to know why, we just need to watch.

Spring is a masterpiece of film making, a powerful and hypnotic film, if this is the future of horror films then the genre is in a great place.

I think im a fan of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead movie's, the only problem is i can definitively see who from Justin and Aaron wrote the part in each of their movie as their personnality are integral part of their works. While watching their movies you're not watching the story, you're watching Justin and Aaron, you can clearly see who they are with all the deepest of their mind without any inhibition.
