Review of It Follows (2015) by Spangle — 30 Oct 2015
It Follows is truly a brilliant film. An edge-of-your seat master class effort of horror, It Follows scares from the very beginning due to the absolutely phenomenal use of sound. The sound in this film is what convinces me this film is a truly brilliant work.
Yes, it is a great horror film on its own and is truly terrifying. The concept is fantastic and wonderously executed. Director David Robert Mitchell knows how to truly scare you and he does it with pure glee and abandon by keeping you on edge from the get go.
The acting from Maika Monroe is great. The cinematography is also fantastic. However, none of this would be enough to make it as good as I believe it to be. Rather, the sound is what sets it above all other horror films that do everything else I mentioned very well.
The sound is unsettling, creepy, terrifying, awe-inspiring, atmospheric, and other adjectives, to describe its true brilliance. It Follows is the best film of 2015. I do not need to see anything else from this year to know this.
