The upcoming indie creature feature, Rites of Spring has media outlets chattering, big time. Dare I say for good reason? This feature sounds like everything one could ask for from a horror film: malicious kidnapping, ransom… an absolutely grotesque monster. Sounds like a dream flick right? Padraig Reynolds writes and directs this seasonal chiller, which offers forth an impressive cast made up of Katherine Randolph (Jarhead), Anessa Ramsey (The Signal), Skylar Burke, Hannah Bryan (Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies), Shanna Forrestall (The Last Exorcism) and indie horror stud, Aj Bowen (The House of the Devil).

Rites of Spring is Padraig Reynolds' first feature as director. This title is meant to be the first of three pictures that deal with a Pagan god, of sorts.

While speaking with 1313Fx’s Tom Devlin earlier this week, the makeup artist (who will appear in an upcoming episode of Syfy’s reality show "Face Off" and who is currently prepping FX for Chad Ferrin’s Dances with Werewolves) tipped us off to the creature work he recently finished for the Opie Cooper-directed feature flick Big Bad.
“It was an awesome shoot!” Devlin told us of the Canton, Mississippi-filmed production, which was written by director Cooper, Danny Dauphin and Beth Kander and produced by Rick Moore of Eyevox Entertainment. Starring Cameron Deane Stewart (In My Shoes), Ainsley Bailey, Hannah Bryan (Rites of Spring), Clint Carmichael, Madeline Thelton, creature actor Brad Bishop and co-writer Dauphin, Big Bad revolves around (according to producer Moore) “three kids, each with their own agenda, who agree to participate in an eccentric biology teacher's fundraiser, which is hosted in an old abandoned jailhouse with a shady past.
