Review of It Follows (2015) by Louvelvet — 07 Aug 2015

So in case everyone hasn't noticed yet, the users (or should I say, tools) who give the lowest scores don't have any intelligent or insightful reasons for having their negative views of the movie, they just spout baseless vitriol much like a middle schooler complaining about his worst subject -- "It's just stupid and the teacher sucks, I hate it!" -- People who give their opinion in this way (especially when they write it in the context of "reviewing" a work of film literature or art) are either small-minded, or simply have poor taste coupled with a poor vocabulary.

So if you are in open-minded individual, do yourself a favor and ignore the little brains and see this unique and chilling throwback horror film that ingeniously combines a blend of classic horror cinematography with an undeniably modern and original style of its own, which is fueled by one of the most eerily intense, master crafted soundtracks in horror cinema history. Put on top of all this a script of refreshingly honest adolescent dialogue that never sounds campy, and which gives way to some of the best performances in the horror genre by a small cast of young actors who deliver subtle and often surprisingly introspective portrayals of the growing teenage dispassion for their modern day lives. So to sum up -- if you are a person who is interested in something other than the trending Torture-Porn which constantly seeks to exploit the growing visual desensitization of horror fanatics at the cost of any original subtext or substance, then you'll be grateful for the existence of this intelligent and dread-inducing piece of art.
