The article highlights the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again alongside the arrival of spring, suggesting it’s the ideal time to revisit the underrated film Spring. Directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, the 2014 film follows Evan, a young man escaping his grief in Italy. His unexpected romance with Louise, intertwined with horror elements, creates a compelling narrative. Spring is described as a blend of genres with a naturalistic feel, bolstered by the filmmakers' unique visual style and character-driven dialogue reminiscent of classic romantic films.
"Spring plays out like a strange hybrid of Before Sunrise, The Animal Kingdom, and Species: a symbiotic genre mashup whose elements of horror and romantic drama cohere far better than you might expect at first glance."
"Moorhead's cinematography matches and emphasizes the naturalism of the film's tonal aesthetic, with a grainy, sun-bleached, and handheld quality that makes the audience feel almost as though they are part of the characters' journey."
