Spring

Spring is a fun film; starts off in indie comedy-drama territory with a sensitive slacker who just cannot catch a break then edges into rom-com before unleashing the horror elements. Not entirely sure how much of the meandering first half is actually relevant to the story beyond getting the protagonist to the point where the "real" plot begins, but it's still an enjoyable journey.

Re: Spring

Caitlin Kiernan was recommending this one. I am interested in seeing it. Would you say it leans more on the dark side or the romantic side?

Re: Spring

Offhand I'd say there are fewer full-on horror moments than romantic moments. But don't let that put you off. It's been described as Before Sunset meets Clive Barker and HP Lovecraft if that helps.
