Kyle Logan Cultured Vultures Feb 19, 2026

A "romantic body horror film," a genre it likely inhabits alone, but what really makes it stick out is that we meet Louise...centuries, into living her life as this different type of human...self-assured, knowing exactly what is going on with her body.

It's really unique, it kind of has its own sub-genre and I really recommend it to everybody.

Genre elements swirl around them - part fantasy, part science fiction - but the core of the film is something more complex, effective, and worthwhile.

Spring is an incredible haunting and romantic tale that will make the heart ache in the way that only those really special films can manage.

This depthlessness is due to Benson's inability (in this film) to write profound dialogue.

It's beautiful and heartwarming with smidgen of gross. It's mysterious and pulls you in to make you feel.

Spring had serious potential but squanders it all, delivering some real thrills but unable to function as an effective romance.

Death leads to dubious love in this endlessly inventive delight that pays no regard to traditional genre boundaries

Once Moorhead and Benson lay everything out, including a fairytale-esque twist on Louise's condition, the mystery disappears, only to get replaced with something more on-the-nose and messy.

Taylor Pucci and Hilker do a commendable job of selling these two souls, adrift in very different seas.

In Spring, though, the MacGuffin hijacks the film. Its "mystery" element is also its weakness.

The best part is its smart and sensitive way of allowing the dark fantasy to enhance its love story rather than overshadow.

Sort of like 'Before Sunrise,' but with tentacles.

It's an odd yet oddly engaging combination of horror, romance, and dark comedy, and it's certainly one of the most original genre films you'll see all year.

Think Before Sunrise as written by HP Lovecraft; or, a Richard Linklater version of Species.

As an experiment in what can be done once you tear down the boundaries of what defines certain genres, Spring is successful.
