Review of It Follows (2015) by Amanda C — 03 Mar 2017
It Follows takes the horror genre's obsession with sex and turns it into the driving force behind the film. In this case, it's not simply the promiscuous kids who get picked off by the otherworldly creature, the creature has become an STI, slowly stalking everyone who dares to have sex.
It's wonderfully creepy and a little bit twisted, just as all the best horror films are, but It Follows is also grounded in the reality of sexually transmitted diseases and the often horrific symptoms that come with them.
That's why It Follows is such an effective film. Its not about supernatural terrors, but about the real ones you face every time you choose to get close to others.
