Picked up for US distribution by IFC Midnight and released earlier this year on VOD, Rites of Spring comes out on DVD in the US with Screamworks Records online release of the stylish score co-inciding. Directed by Padraig Reynolds and starring Katherine Randolph and Anessa Ramsey, Rites of Spring tells the story about a group of kidnappers who becomes victims of a horrifying secret that must be paid every spring.

Newcomer Holly Amber Church, who started out as an assistant to renowned composers Christopher Young and Stewart Copeland, has penned an intense, eerie and effective genre score that makes use of such devices as electrified cello, unusual percussive effects and busy string writing.
