Fantastic news. Guess it's not too surprising considering how much good press it's been getting.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

sweet.
vaguely 2015 is better than any time in 2016

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Other articles say early 2015 so that's encouraging.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

do you think there's any chance of some tf scenes maybe getting previewed to hype up the movie? or are they too integral for the story to do so?

Edit: also, is VOD (Video On Demand?)

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

It's possible they may reveal one of the earlier scenes.

And yes, VOD is video on demand.

My prediction was originally next October, so this is good news.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

when is this movie coming out?

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

The estimated release dates are literally three posts above yours.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Come on, a first post can't be bothered with reading the actual threads!

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

That is not true. It has been bothered xD.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

i so want to see this film sounds worth watching

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

has there been any update on the release of this movie? i tried doin a search and found nothing. it doesn't help the movies name is so generic lol

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Nothing until next year... in the best case. Please, to avoid derail the post, try not to ask until 1/1/2015.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Totally acknowledging the legitimacy of the previous post, I just wanted to mention that for some reason the IMDB page has November 14, 2014 as a release date. If anyone has more information on why this is, let us know. My guess is that it's a mistake, but might as well put it here.

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt3395184/

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

My guess is that the date indicates one of the sessions during one festival, probably one in US. They did the same with others, for example, When Animals Dream had June as release data, and we had to wait until October.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

SO
this movie is playing today at 3 Rivers Film Festival thats taking place all over Pittsburgh. is there anyone here able to go see it?
http://3rff.com/films/spring here's a link for more info.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

just felt like noting that the IMDB page says that the movie has an April release date in the UK. :)

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Awesome!

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Just read online that this movie has been bought for US distribution

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Yes, and there is one (I suppose) release date not related to festivals, 17 April 2015, that could be the definitive after and obvious pun in one of the directors' twitter account.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Update: According to bloodydisgusting.com, Spring will be hitting theaters and VOD March 20th.

Thanks for the update, Krusty. Really looking forward to this.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

I hope someone can post cuts of the transformation after release

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

That'll be a nice lengthy collection of transformation scenes. ;)

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

There are other sites where you can buy it?

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

If the transformations in this movie are nearly as good as they've been purported to be, I can most definitely live without some nudity involved. We've been far too deprived of some good material to look a gift horse like this one in the mouth.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

i'm with you on this. all i want honestly is that "werewolf" in the bathroom TF.

its like my favourite scenario in a movie <3

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Unless it's a red band trailer - would you really expect any nudity in a teaser/trailer?

Similarly, why are people asking where else they can buy it when the preorder was just announced - I'm sure there will be plenty of links once it's out (or no longer digital only).

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Well, I was just being "informative". I prefer some nudity, though. I tend to not see the point of a transformation behind a wall, in the shadows, narrated by someone or under some clothes, that's all.
Anyway, I expect some interesting things from this movie, with or without the transformations, as long as I find the concept of the film appealing.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

A trailer is a trailer is a trailer.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

The concept is wonderful. If you like "Ginger Snaps" and the "Before" trilogy, this film is for you.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Spring just released on iTunes.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Not available in iTunes where I live. Can anyone recommend any other VOD services that might have it?

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Thanks. It's just not available legally here.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

wonder what timezone they're basing the release on.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Pretty sure it's based on region. Hint: I am not in the US.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

I'm in the central time zone. It released about an hour and a half ago for me.

I just watched it. I actually liked it more for the story and dialogue than the transformations, which were excellent. It reminded me of Lost In Translation. High praise as that's one of my favorite movies of all time.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Ok just seen it also ( For those who have apple :) I honestly liked the movie for the story and acting. It was very romantic and (Wish that kinda romance happen to me lol ). BUT in the end the transformation is what we are all interested in right? I'm gonna say I was let down in terms of the transformations. It definately wasn't what I expected heck I thought the Bitten tv series with Elena was better in terms of a sexy female transformation. So I say nope another failed attempt in my book but awesome movie story/acting wise.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Seconded. Anyway, no ground-breaking TF, all left in the middle, cut planes, off camera... I thought that this is necessary when you need to squeeze the budget, but I really don't know why I expected more than this. Anyway, as I said, the movie is good and the story interesting, have a try if you can :).

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Werewolf or something else?

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

The directors said that the TF was an ape-like creature. It is good but too brief :P. Anyway this movie, for sure, will give the artists some good ideas for pictures, comics and stories :).

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

i dont know..i thought it was decent. I think as far as tfs go if your expectations were real high..you were probably let down. thats why low expectations is key ;)

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

but I din't understand why here, she is an ape like creature, then a Chtulu creature O.o

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Nope, it is more like "creatures from our past" thing. It was not "Chtulhu", but something like a squid... yes, we don't descend from the squids, but they let themselves to have some licenses, I mean, it's not a documental.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Yeah, another vote here for "excellent movie, relatively uninspiring TF material"

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

naaa, the tfs and the background behind the tfs is pretty good, I'm not disappointed

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Hey if anyone has time, it would be awesome to know where the major TFs are in the movie. I'm kinda pressed for time right now so I don't have time to watch the whole movie. If not, no worries! Thanks y'all.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

C'mon son.

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

Hey, it was worth a shot. :P

Re: Movie Alert: Spring
 

The movie was really solid, though, tf-wise, I think my expectations were too high, based off the descriptions we were given earlier in the thread. I think had we not had that, we wouldn't have put this one as high on a pedestal as we did. That said, what we did get was FAR from crap. Honestly, it's fairly clear that all their budget went to effects, which really helped things out. Everything else was very simple, on location scenes, that really didn't require much out of funding. I liked that there were multiple transformations of various types, and we got some very detailed cuts of her mid transformation. The process itself (as in, seeing things shift and change) was somewhat limited save for the second tf (The "werewolf/ape" tf, which, I think we all wish they would have shown more of. What they did show was amazing). I think there was mostly just skin effects signaling the change, then "oh look, one of your limbs is suddenly different". In the grand scheme, though, that's a minor gripe. Overall, too high expectations nonwithstanding, I like what we got. Far better than the letdown Bitten turned out to be.


<Spoiler for those who care to discuss the actual plot of the movie>
(You can still make it out without highlighting, but only if you're going out of your way to read it)

Plot-wise, I have mixed feelings on this one. Things started out fantastic, setting up Evan's character, and why he's now in Europe. I like how they tried to give a backbone to what Louise is going through, whether you buy the mythos or not. How self regenerating cells lend themselves to those types of transformations is odd, but I went with it. Most of my gripes come with how the movie wraps itself up. First, Evan finds out about Louise, and is just like, "You know what...no biggie. I can deal with that". Outside of him "needing a minute", he doesn't really seem to need to process anything that happens, and now he's suddenly ready to spend his life with her.

Additionally, the timeframe within which this movie takes place hurts it. Towards the end, when he's trying to convince her to love him, and that he's so sure he's in love, it's really unbelievable (yes, I know I just said that about a movie where a chick turns into a squid). This is especially so when you factor in he's trying to convince a girl he's known for a week to give up essential immortality to be with him. Top that off with the fact that she essentially decides in the eleventh hour that she's in love, and the ending just falls flat to me.

All fetishes aside, I would have liked to see her ultimately begin to transform, and tells a heartbroken Evan to leave for his safety. He would then either begrudgingly leave, or voluntarily stay and face the horror of Louise's final transformation (which we get to see in detail, of course :D). Either way, you use that to reinforce the theme of life being short, and savoring what little time you have in great moments. Evan reflects on their brief fling, either while fleeing or staring down his doom, and film over. Just my two cents

</Spoiler>

tl;dr: Not all I expected, but much appreciated new content. Definitely better than some stuff that's popped up recently.
