Ahh thank god. After watching It Follows I found myself confused,and clouded. It was definitely scary, I mean like keeps you up scary,but the way the entire thing had been shot and cut annoyed me. Some scenes felt incomplete,and the more that this happened the more confused I became not understanding the logic of the characters. But the entire production has grown on me,and after connecting a couple of things the film turns out to be something that is at the very least a decent scary movie. Even if some of it's subtext is not shown as well as it could have been. It Follows as most of you know by now is about a ghost or killing entity that our main hero get's from having sex. That's a perfect allegory for the fact that teenage angst can be destructive,but the film doesn't actually explore these themes as much as I wish it had. Instead it goes for a dark depressing mood that while I think fit the film also clouded it a bit. Maika Monroe is well suited for her role,but I feel a few of the actors weren't very effective. However much of the other stuff was. The music in this film almost makes it. The soundtrack is so disturbing,and scary that it almost does all the scaring. Listening to it now I feel very scared. And that's what really matters with a horror film. If you walk out of the theatre,and you are uncomfortable that you just want to curl up in a ball then that's a good thing. It Follows is not a perfect movie but it's a scary one,and sometimes that can be enough. Overall I would give It Follows a 7.5 out of 10. A little dark,and moody to really "enjoy" but there's no denying that it scares the shit out of me. I have posted both a trailer and a song. I dare you to get through the song without being disturbed. Reviewed by Stephen Tronicek.
