This is why I love independent cinema. Filmmakers Moorhead & Benson (check out their previous endeavor called Resolution) have crafted a profoundly moving romance with deep mythological underpinnings, which steadily manifests into grotesque body horror. The friction love creates, whether you consider it to be a biological response or something metaphysical, is something to be cherished for however long you can hold on to it amongst the various ups and downs of life. For in your darkest moments, that feeling can be a potent reminder that you are not alone in the world. Embrace it, even against your better judgement. I don't want to reveal too much about the plot, for it is best to be experienced cold. The chemistry between…

The first thing that strikes me about this movie is the unquestioned mobility of this guy. He's a cook working at a dive bar, but he can beat up a dude in a fit of rage and then on some whim decide to fly to Italy the very next day, drinking himself into a stupor along the way with a pile of those expensive and tiny bottles of in-flight liquor. I guess it's apparent he's a really boring guy with no hobbies (except for caring for his dying mother and then seeking a pity fuck in the aftermath), so maybe he has some savings, but... most of the men in this thing are banal and repulsive to the max.

After the deaths of his parents and the loss of his job, Evan decides that he needs to get away from it all with a change of scenery and takes a spontaneous flight to Italy to start a new life. Here he takes a job as a farmer and meets a beautiful young woman who he instantly falls for. A girl with a horrifying secret.

It's time to continue my descent into the shared universe built by filmmakers Aaron Moorehead and Justin Benson as I've already tackled three of them in the last twenty-four hours and liked them all. Resolution, The Endless and Synchronic all hit high notes in varying fashion and I expect Spring to be no different. When…

Warm Bodies meets Possession in a peculiar love story taking place on Italy between a young American whose life has crumbled down and an enigmatic woman.

While the poster pretty much spoils a lot, just like our female lead, I'll keep the plot as mysterious as possible. But let's just say I get to appreciate the very particular take on a romantic story from a supernatural perspective. Our couple has a nice chemistry together and you get to enjoy the two developing their screen relationship and the twists and turn that comes with it. Also the special effects hold up very well, the use of CGI and some minimal practical was very good.

Unfortunately, while everything is cute and the…
