Review of It Follows (2015) by Scareme_Idareu — 07 Apr 2015
Horrible! Is their suspense at the beginning, yes, but by the middle of the movie it dissipates with no real rewards. This movie reads like a PSA against teenage sexuality. Except the sexuality is minimal, and the consequences are bizarre attempts at symbolism.
This movie is banal and tries so hard to be artsy it loses all credibility. It takes place in a great setting of desolate Detroit yet the setting is only a disconnected backdrop for the not so wild adventures of kids.
Stereotypical characters the desirable blonde, the Nice Guy best best friend, the quirky female best friend, the cool older guy who graduated but hasn't really ever matured past high school. The main characters are all extremely static, which makes the movie static.
STD's and teenage sex is bad we get it. If that wasn't the point of this movie then this movie is utterly and unforgivably without purpose. Not to mention, the ending is atrocious. Horror movies usually characters with vivid back stories that give context to present events, but you won't find that here.
This movie is so over hyped. "It Follows best horror movie in a decade" GTFO It isn't even the best horror movie this year.
