Review of It Follows (2015) by Thesweboo — 08 Dec 2018
I feel very mixed about 'It Follows'. The movie is shot beautifully from the opening long shot and the music truly is amazing. The concept is interesting. I too would find it terrifying if I couldn't spend a single living moment relaxing.
Some of scares are "false jumpscares" which is my first small negative. My second is that the movie sometimes breaks its own logic and rules that are set up by itself. At times it doesn't make sense at all (why is It standing on the roof?) and at one time it's a miracle that the main character is still alive.
Speaking of character, I didn't find any of them interesting nor worth caring for. I didn't like the ending at all. All that being said, I can't deny that I was entertained for most of the runtime. I can completely see why people don't like this movie as well why people love it.
Watch it if you like horror movies but don't be fooled by the 97% on RT (it's 8.1 in avg rating) and expect a masterpiece.
