I remember being pretty stoked when I first read about Rites of Spring, and that was because it involved one of my favorite story elements: criminals committing a crime and coming across horrors they never saw coming. This effort marks writer/director Padraig Reynolds’ first feature and full-length film, and he accomplishes this feat with good results. The story is simple but provides enough horror and conflict to keep the viewer engaged throughout this short 80 minute experience. Reynolds’ comes off as a veteran director and compliments the story with live-action FX and a sweet looking antagonist to provide the goods, making for an experience I enjoyed more than I expected to.
