Want to take part in some summer sacrifice? IFC Midnight releases Padraig Reynolds' monster movie RITES OF SPRING this weekend, and you can come to the NYC midnight, with Reynolds in attendance for free!

RITES OF SPRING opens this Friday, July 27 at New York City's IFC Center (323 Sixth Ave, at West 3rd St) and opening night, Reynolds will be in town at the midnight showing for a Q&A moderated by myself. 

Starring HOUSE OF THE DEVIL's AJ Bowen and his THE SIGNAL co-star Anessa Ramsey, RITES OF SPRING sees a group of kidnappers abduct the daughter of a wealthy socialite and hide out in an abandoned school in the middle of the woods. But feelings of guilt soon overtake the kidnappers, dividing the group and putting their entire plan in jeopardy. The evening further spirals out of control when their poorly chosen hideout becomes a hunting ground for a mysterious creature (get a look at Wormface below!) that requires springtime ritualistic sacrifices.

Hardcore band, Rites of Spring (they only have one studio album, you have a decent chance)!
