Review of It Follows (2015) by Meldrew — 05 May 2015
I must be missing something when critics I respect go crazy over a film that, for me, is only nudging an above average. I've ended up going 5.
Maybe it was over-anticipation that caused my disappointment, but there was nothing noteworthy about It Follows. It had a decent idea but failed to build on it, and it was suspense-free from my seat. The immediate threat to whoever 'it' was following at the time seemed lacklustre, although the overwhelming weight of the knowledge that something is after you was well conveyed by Maika Monroe.
It looked good and the acting was fine. I wish I had got a bit more out of it.
