Movie Alert: Spring

[KrustyTheSailor]

Had my eye on this one for a while. There is a trailer with some interesting shots (really quick cuts).

Forward to 1:24 for some strangeness.

Premieres at TIFF tomorrow. Anyone going?

So what is she? A werewolf? Some type of snake/fish monster? The girl is gorgeous, btw.

Those effects shots all look like they could go in a bunch of directions, but it certainly looks visceral, and that's all I need to be happy.

[Anahki]

yeah, for me it looked more like some lovecraftian monster... claws, tentacles and so on. Yes, you can see a tentacle out there :P.

From the title and the imagery I'm thinking plant. If I'm not mistaken that dead bird in the bush was strangled by a vine.

I thought that too, but something seems to have claws and fur in one shot, and tentacles in another.

Will watch the absolute fuck out of this.

I saw vines instead of tentacles. But who knows.

I saw this last night at the premiere. Snake, werewolf (I think), and many other TFs. You see some great detail, mix of practical and CG. Think Before Sunrise but with a woman who changes into various animals. Anything else is spoiler territory. Enjoy guys, this is going to be a TF classic.

Skalla, they are tentacles.

Yeah!! One point for the guy from the south xD. Well, I swear that I had seen the suckers of the tentacles, but I am not sure.
BTW, is there some nudity, or do they use camera angles, obstacles and so on to avoid the issue?

The implicit answer to "who knows?" was meant to be "someone who has seen the film".

And I saw the film. Was confirming. Take it or leave it, friend.

As for Anakhi, who is the guy from the south? Not sure what issue you are referring to, but as the mystery of the girl's conditioned is revealed, we see more of her transformations. The first one we get a decent look at seems to be a werewolf (or some kind of dog/cat-family transformation). The directors never clarified which animals she changed into specifically in the Q&A, but they didn't like werewolves but liked the idea of them, so they put a spin on the concept with their film. I remember a werewolf, snake, scorpion, Octopus or Squid (unclear) and some were ambiguous as far as I know. I actually stopped watching for the TF and kept watching for the story. It's very unique.

There is nudity, particularly with the biggest transformation. There is also tail growth, but it is more amusing and will disappoint anyone expecting to see the tail grow.

Even if the transformation disappoints viewers on this website (or elsewhere), it's a fantastic character-driven piece worthy of multiple viewings. The girl is gorgeous and the story has humour, charm, and even scares.

If you guys don't believe that I saw it, I don't care. Wait for the film yourself. It will be a while before it's online. I won't spoil what the girl is, because it kind of ruins the mystery of the film. Telling you that she transforms into various animals is a big enough spoiler anyway. I went into this film not even knowing there would be TF. I read a vague logline and bought tickets. Was pleasantly surprised and you guys will be too. It meets the quota for all these disappointing indie films that we keep holding out hope for.
