"Just as we fall for their characters falling for each other, Benson's metaphorically resonate script providing their space to emote is matched visually by Moorhead's cinematography. Whether static aerials showing rotting corpses with snakes slithering through them, the shallow depth of field focusing on exactly what he wants us to see (showcasing Louise's delicate balance between life and death with budding and withering flowers animated along her path), or a magnificent long take of Hilker following Pucci as he works his frustration out through the winding cobblestone alleyways of Apulia, the sense of place becomes a character in itself. Add the in-close cropping of creature effects and you get a genre film unencumbered by genre aesthetic. So if you're someone who believes horror is mood, gore, and little else, Spring proves its validity as legitimate cinematic art." - Jared Morbarak, The Film Stage
