This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After reading the reviews, my brother and I decided to go check this out earlier today and were both extremely disappointed. The movie just drags on for what seems like forever after an admittedly intriguing opening, only to devolve into shots that go on for way, WAY too long that focus on nothing of real significance, little is explained as to what "it" is, why "it" follows, why "it" is at times unable to open a door, which "it" then resorts to breaking windows, then is able to hurl large electronics into a swimming pool and take on a completely different level of physicality that makes you question what the hell it's actually capable of. That's how a lot of the movie is: something is vaguely eluded to and you think you know the 'rules', because as an audience, we're being told a story and we want to feel like we have a personal stake in the film, feel a little immersion, etcetera. But little to nothing is ever explained. Characters are just not interesting. Jay's sister seems to be there to be a shoulder to cry on in close ups when things "get crazy" and doesn't really have an arc to her story at all. There's another girl with glasses and a "shell phone" in the group that provides almost nothing other than famous quotes delivered in a monotonous, pretentious tone of voice during low points, just to keep it's floundering head above water in hopes that the audience will put up with just a little more punishment.

There is some good here, though. The lead actress, Maika Monroe, is genuinely great. She's convincing when she needs to be and most importantly, does a fantastic job acting terrified, confused and worn down. The cinematography is beautiful, showcasing the various suburbs, beaches, vacant buildings, worn down houses and schools with some artistic flair, wide shots that are awesome to look at and the sound design is great as well.

The score is alright, but songs are repeated to the point of ad nauseum and I think he's trying too hard to be John Carpenter. But to wrap this all up and to maybe paint a better picture of what I'm trying to say, let's talk about Halloween, a film I've seen some reviewers compare this to. You have the character of Michael Myers, who for the most part is a mute, slow-moving stalker of teens, much like the "it" of this film. The reason Michael works and this doesn't is because everything about him is laid out by Dr. Loomis. You have exposition to explain what he is, what makes him tick, he had a legitimate purpose and goal. Jason of the Friday the 13th movies is the same: we the audience know his motivation. Those movies aren't about the teens, they're about the monsters. But it's a monster we identify with. "It Follows" is like this: we like the 1980s, let's get some old televisions with classic monster movies on them, older cars for this never fully defined time period because what the hell, that's pretty cool. Get some teens having sex in here because that's what Craven and Carpenter and Romero would have done, right? But get this...what if I was so original as to come up with the idea that our "Michael Myers" is transmitted from kid to kid like an STD?! Except it isn't always the same guy and nobody can see him unless you have it. Oh, and nobody ever knows what it is and I'll never say because it's better for the audience to just come to their own conclusions about the scraps of information I've fed them, sparsely, over a 2 hour time span. I mean, Kubrick never had to explain "The Shining", right? I can be Kubrick.

I have no idea why so many critics have gone on record saying this film is haunting, chilling, terrifying, etc. Their opinions about the film are much more haunting to me than anything in the film (except maybe all that stuff about evil, scary, deadly sex.)

But dinner before the movie was great. Really good mac and cheese! And my husband and I had a fun date. So all was not lost. Still, here's hoping for a movie with a real story for our next movie date!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really, really do not understand why this movie keeps getting good reviews. One of my best friends and I went to see it while he was in town for a day because it not only looked like the best of what was out, but rotten tomatoes praised it. With very few parts that were even remotely on the scary side,(being a horror fan) that was pretty disappointing. By, the end of the movie it was one of the first times I've ever wanted a refund (not that I would ever ask) and somebody from the upper part of the theater behind me yelled out in disappointment as well and also mentioned rotten tomatoes. It is slow paced and as with most horror movies had many just plain stupid and easily avoidable situations. The characters just seemed cliched(not such a surprise, as many movies borrow from others) as far as I.Q.s under 100 and casually not believing anything that was transpiring. The only plus was that the idea of the movie was somewhat original. I do stress somewhat. Then, in the blink of an eye, it ended in the type of way you ask yourself "Seriously? What the hell did I just watch?"… Expand

The acting was atrocious especially by the lead, the characters were absolutely droll, the plot was like a 5 y/o scribbling on a map and had more holes than a wiffle ball, and the scare factor was nonexistent or at the very least INSANELY predictable. It wasn't even a good homage to old slasher movies. That and the underlying theme of "sex kills" is just disgusting, but I guess it's something the youth pastors can use...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It Follows does not deserve such a high rating. You know when you're watching a movie and you keep telling yourself it'll get better (it will, it will, it must!) and then it just doesn't.... Well that's this one all over. It started out ok, I was slightly intrigued after the first death, but then I found myself screaming internally just get on with it! I've heard this film compared positively to Halloween, which I find insane. Michael Myers is, and will always be, an iconic slasher. What even is this thing that follows these teens around, other than completely forgettable? We're given nothing to go on, no background or interesting info at all other than the guy she sleeps with telling her to have sex asap and pass it on like a disease. YAWN! What's worse is that the thing takes the form of an old woman first, and they are really not very scary (apart from the old woman in the cafe in Legion... I did NOT like her.) and it moves at a pace of about 2 miles per hour, which is only ok if you're the big Mikey M and are carrying a bloody big knife. Seriously, if you're after something scary give this one a miss. It's not even remotely creepy, and the music, which actually did put me in mind of Halloween, just grated on my nerves, which were already stretched thin. It's definitely the sign of a bad movie when you wish the characters would just hurry up and die already.… Expand

Never have I come across a flimsy and terribly written movie so obscenely glorified as this one. The plot of a relentless manifestation of a curse (in this case a paranormal, sexually transmitted disease - I really kid you not) has been doneNever have I come across a flimsy and terribly written movie so obscenely glorified as this one. The plot of a relentless manifestation of a curse (in this case a paranormal, sexually transmitted disease - I really kid you not) has been done with proper pacing and a decent framework in many movies such as Ju-on and Ring.

This one? Hey, it tries to be very very different. Nothing is working? Fear not. Throw in gratuitous amount of sex and slime (quite literally), lumbering naked prostitutes with thighs streaming with fresh urine and a generous display of nudity, more nudity ... and then some more doses of it, all in the name of a slow-paced remains of a sad train-wreck that made no sense when it started and ended on an even more convoluted note.

I would love to know the sensibilities of critics that consider this a terrifying movie, as the only thing I was terrified of was to not shame myself in front of my friends by controlling my violently churning stomach at the death scene of the protagonist's friend, and incidentally, one-time playmate. But alas, it is so different and so cool that it obviously deserves the skyrocketing score, nevermind the lack of pacing, direction or the actual narrative. Who cares? It's different, folks. It's different!

All in all, It Follows follows a lot of banal plot devices, it just fails to follow anything meaningful.… Expand

It just doesn't fly, at least for anyone with an IQ over 100 let's say?Effective horror filmmaking wasted on a story with the rampant typical problem plaguing the genre these days: silly unexplained over-the-top supernatural ****
It just doesn't fly, at least for anyone with an IQ over 100 let's say? Obviously this movie is in a way an homage to such modern classics as "Halloween" and "Friday The 13th", except
those movies worked so well at the time because they were based in reality while still being about as scary as you could get. Homicidal maniacs exist, and however over-the-top those characters became in the sequels, at least originally the scenarios were possible.
The story here is the typical half-baked script that would use as its argument that it is all metaphor and that it's really about the underlying themes. Sorry, that's never enough. First comes a good involving story that can stand on its own, then comes the hidden symbolism and the themes which should be left to interpretation by the viewer.
Take "The Shining", a great Stephen King story first and foremost, then amplified by Kubrick's cinematic genius and open to myriad interpretations. Supernatural, but on one level you could look at it simply as a man with cabin fever.
"It Follows" suffers from a murky not fully realized premise to begin with leaving the experience an empty, unbelievable exercise in technique. Also to note, it is one of the few major theatrical releases in about the last ten years whose image was obviously shot on video. With almost all movies now you cannot tell the difference.… Expand

The lack of continuity about the era drove me crazy(was this the 80's, cause I lived then and I think not - those pools and power strips weren't around then) as did the complete lack of explanation about what "it" was. The idiot characters in the movie never even tried to find out what "it" was or how to defeat it. The whole idea of passing "it" on to someone else to get rid of "it" was ludicrous. As soon as that person is killed "it" comes back to you - what would the point be in giving "it" to someone else???? Now "it" is going to come back to you sometime in the future so you live in a constant state of anxiety waiting for "it". Just let "it" kill you already and put us all out of your misery.… Expand

On top of that, the cinematography was a bit dull, but I think that's just me who didn't like that effect. It had some clichés as well, such as the 'guy who doesn't believe in it will eventually die from it'.
Although, despite the realistic teenage look the movie was going for, I would have liked for it to show a bit of history on the topic and them trying to figure out the problem like other movies such as The Nightmare On Elm Street.
Because even though it was realistic and how it would have been handled IRL, I would have liked to know some personal information behind it all rather than it being very vague and confusing and ending abruptly.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, nineteen-year-old Jay finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, something, is following her. Faced with this burden, Jay and her friends must find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind.

Now, i was eagerly anticipating this film after hearing nothing but good things... it turned out to be the worst horror I've seen in quite a while. Lets start with the hipster retro worship on display. Despite being set present day, it indulges itself in gas guzzling vehicles, teens watching 50s sci-fi on antenna television sets, directed through a grainy 70s filter and a john carpenter inspired 80s synth soundtrack. Since when did paying homage to your favourite directors or playing with genre tropes become the be all and end all of a successful horror film? Did the director forget he's out of film school and he needs to bring originality to the table?

Moving on, the horror element was basically 'followers' randomly changing one second to the next, with no explanation of why their appearance was that way. Sometimes it's an old man following her, a half naked woman peeing herself, a child looking like a rotting corpse. I'm sure the boyfriend said "It will come to you in the form of someone you were fond of" or whatever, so who the hell are these random folk?

Logic seems to have been abandoned throughout the film. Ridiculous decisions made by nearly every character, in nearly every other scene. She runs to and sits on a swing out in the open, IN THE DARK, which is SAFE now for some reason? There's open space all around you, does she have eyes in the back of her head? Later she takes the car and abandons her friends for something like the third time, and sleeps on the bonet. AT NIGHT. IN THE FOREST.

Jay and friend catch up with the dude who cursed her but no beatdown or argument just "yeah, sleep with someone to pass it on and you'll be fine" which turns out to be wrong advice anyway so...? For some reason all the boys are lining up to take the curse off her, why? And she's happy to go along with it all showing no concern for these friends.

Why is a naked follower standing on the roof? How did he get on the roof? He should be going through the front door and up the stairs to Jay's room like earlier on in the film!

SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME AGAIN WHY THESE TEENS ARE WATCHING 1950S B-MOVIES ON AN 80S TELEVISION SET!?

I sensed many people in the screening with me were shaking their heads and laughing, especially at the ending, there was a collective reaction of, "is that it?" There are some great female led horror films in the past few years that show intelligence and originality without the need of bombarding the senses with retro ideas we've seen over and over again. It Follows? More like **** Follows!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know what isn't scary? A creature that you can out-walk. NOT OUTRUN: Out-walk.
You know what isn't scary? A creature that you can stop with common real-world weapons (like gun)
You know what isn't scary? A creature that has to go through doors and windows.
You know what isn't scary? A creature that doesn't disguise itself in any way to try and fool the person it wants to kill into thinking it's one of their friends.
You know what isn't scary? It Follows.

This movie is not scary, and I have no idea why people think it is. The first time you see the monster, it looks like an old woman in a medical gown. ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS! It's later forms are a dead girl, some tall guy, and a naked man on her roof.
The kids are also the dumbest kids ever. They find a gun and practice shooting it and at POINT BLANK RANGE miss the monster 5 times. They have an "ingenious" plan to kill the monster after realizing that they can't kill it to try and electrocute it in a pool. So they surround the pool with electronics and plug them in. They then put miss target in the pool to try and get the monster to come in.
Well guess what the unstoppable bloodthirsty wanting to kill her monster does? Instead of going into the pool, it starts throwing the appliances in in order to kill her. WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED?????

This thing is basically an invisible man with a limp and a grudge. I can show you scarier stuff behind a toilet.… Expand

It came across as something that had been done before without giving any detail what so ever. The movie itself was about as exciting as the trailer. The first seen was probably the best part of the movie. It was fresh and exciting and had me completely pumped for what i was about to experience. This was the last bit of horror however. There were a few moments that had me on edge but they were quickly overthrown by something that didn't add up. Nothing at all is revealed about the thing that "follows" and that disapoints me. After the movie was over, I found myself thinking "that's it?" I don't understand how this movie got rave reviews. It wasn't a horror movie. It wasn't a suspense movie. I honestly don't know what to classify this movie as. The only reason I am rating this movie as a 1 is thanks to the first scene.… Expand

Or show up in the hospital with gun shot wounds for that matter? The writer makes up the rules to his game of tag as he goes along. I hate movies that don’t follow their own bible. Create any world you want but give me the logic that makes ‘it’ work. What we are left with is enough footage for a very cool and effective two minute public service message for STDs- a la Reefer Madness. This Rocky Herpes Show makes Babadook look like The Exorcist. Another recent horror film that relied on character rather than violence - yet knew how to keep true to itself right till the very end. Stay home. Watch Brian De Palma’s Carrie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I don't know how they sold to the studio an idea for a sexually transmitted ghost. Just describing the film to someone is embarrassing. As you watch it, you are overcome with feelings of dread and anger that any of these characters could be so stupid. They constantly lock themselves in small rooms with flimsy doors or giant windows. The girl repeatedly listens to her friends who tell her that nothing is there even though she knows that only she can see the "whatever it is". The solution to her problem is so obvious that people were yelling it out during the trailers months before it was released. Just fly to another city or even another country and sleep with the first guy who says yes. It's not like she's hideously ugly or something. Every single thing that's going to happen is telegraphed so obviously, it's like a fifth grader wrote the screenplay.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everyone loves? Really?? Here's the good: score, atmosphere. The bad - see list below for examples of lazy storytelling and illogic:
1. "it" (henceforth: It) could break a window, kick thru a door, and punch someone feet thru the air, but apparently had to sometimes gently knock on it's intended victim's door
2. It apparently could only walk slowly. But at one point It lunged at a victim with great speed, and another time threw heavy objects with great force.
3. You could send It to another person by having sex with that person. Why didn't the very first girl victim do that?
4. Assuming Jay had sex with 3 guys on boat, why didn't It go for them? Or why weren't we told they got killed?
5. Given Jay's 1st sex guy passed It to her, why could he still see It and why was he still afraid of It? He was off the hook as long as Jay was alive right?
6. Given they shot one It and It got right back up, why would they try to shoot the It in the pool?
7. Why would a pool in a derelict public swimming facility be full of crystal clear water and fully lit? And how did they get in?
8. Why would Jay, in mortal terror running from It, drive to an isolated spot in the woods and sleep curled up on the hood overnight? Really?? Where was It then? She was ripe for the picking'...
9. So let me get this right, only the afflicted could "see" It, but as long as you threw a blanket over it, everyone could see the outline? Didn't anyone see "Gilligan's Island"? Throw paint on it!
10. Even the most independent kid would run to an adult (parent, police, etc.) when in this sort of trouble. I mean, come on!

Watch "The Babdook" instead.… Expand

I was searching local showtimes just to experience this awesome experience of a fresh horror flick of 2015. It wasn't even close. Please do not believe they hype, nor the critics, perhaps you will enjoy the movie if you go in with extremely low expectations unlike the sky-high expectations I had going in (because of the rave critic reviews).

I jumped once on a good old loud bang transition sound. I was checking my watch constantly to give the film a chance to scare me, when the final scene happened I literally didn't know what to do. I was shocked that the film finished and I felt it never reached a climax. I gave this a rating of 2 because the work that was put in behind the scenes (low budget effort, albeit crappy and overhyped).

Go into the film expecting to be disappointed and maybe, just maybe you'll enjoy it. I wish the high reviews would just stop, it really isn't scary at all, or interesting or mysterious.… Expand

TheI am seriously baffled by any form of positive feedback about this film. I am a long time horror fan, but this movie is the most unscary, u creepy, boring, piece of trash I've ever seen and I included several B grade movies in that mix. The acting is abysmal, the cinematography grainy and sloppy and it does not add in anyway to the atmosphere of the film.

The plot, on the surface, is interesting if not at all original, but it randomly disappears in what one can only assume are poor attempts at minimalistic/artistic fail making.

There is absolutely nothing creepy, or seuspensful in the film and the script is delivered in such a dull, wannabe indie way that it comes across as contrived.

I cannot fathom how this film manage to get any from of theatrical viewing, I've seen Fan Made movies in YouTube with more substance.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

That being said, It Follows is an absolutely God-awful film. Decent production value makes it more depressing, and basically adds insult to injury. This movie fails at in-your-face horror and psychological horror. It is not scary at all, and would be better if marketed as a sex ed film. It uses nothing that even resembles logic. The one part that really stuck out to me, making me realize that this may well be the single worst movie that I have ever seen was the beach scene when "it" grabs Jay's hair and sits there until her friends can hit it rather than just killing her. In classic cheeseball fashion, she escapes. That and the monster DRYHUMPS PEOPLE TO DEATH. DEATH BY DRYHUMPING. HOW STUPID IS THAT? It Follows takes the horror movie cliché of people dying after they pork and make it where they die because they pork. This is just a short review, I could go on and on about how bad this movie is. A legitinately horrible movie, I created a Metacritic account to try to prevent others from wasting their money on this **** as I did. You have been warned, this is an absolutely AWFUL movie. It isn't even in the realm of so bad it's good. It is just plain bad. Not the least bit scary or even mildly entertaining as a film, please do not waste your money seeing this. Hell, don't watch it if you can for free. Save 100 minutes of your life.… Expand

There is nothing artistic about the way they show nudity. All together, this film is an example of a modern era, where anyone with a camera can think themselves capable of releasing a film.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad Spoilers, very specific critic.
The Good:
#1 The movie doesn't rely on blowing you ears off with "jump scares". It "mostly" creates tension while you can see what's going on instead of building the sound and then jumping on your face.
#2 The First half. The intro, the theme exposition and the first tense moments are all good.

The bad: Everything else
#1 The contradictions
a. IT can only walk slow but can tackle, jump through windows, climb to the roof of a house (while the target was outside loading the car)
b. They open the movie with a girl calling her dad on the CELL phone but then put a lot of effort into showing you the movie is set decades ago. Old B/W TV's, Old clocks, old cars (most of the time). The main character even has a land-line phone on her room. No one else has a cell phone except the useless filler friend who uses a blush kit as a cell phone .Her cell phone is really a Oyster shaped makeup kit (really common) and she covers the bottom part all the time. But you can see her "reading" from it and "swiping".
c. To avoid IT from killing me, let me pass it to my Friend so it tries to kill him. :/
d. Abandoned building (or at least deteriorated heavily) with electricity and an amazing pool in pristine condition.

2. It kills by having sex? On that subject, If A passes it to B why does killing B makes it go back to A? and if they all have it why show NO interest on the guy that passed it to her?

3. The final solution is to pass it to another friend before passing it along. So if that 3rd party dies, your friend would die as a warning for you to start running again? Better options
a) go to have sex at a frat house (spreads fast)
b) go to a motel and have sex with a tourist. Infect a guy from Spain or Chile. that would give you some time.

4.. If its invisible but has body mass, buy spray pain, don't pack a blanket.
5 When being chased get away form your friends and run to a dark and lonely place like a park or the woods?

6. Where are the parents? they mention them but are never seen.

7. You run screaming to your neighbors house, make a lot of noise, run out of a crime scene, get into a car and disappear, but you are never arrested?

I'm not done... I'm just tired so I'll leave it here.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i just made an account to review this "SCARY" movie! oh god ...

i don`t warn you for spoilers because you`re not gonna find out anything at the end of the movie anyway!

there is no "LOGIC" in this movie even cheapest horror movies have an acceptable storyline and logic which raises some questions and answers them at the end ! who/what is the evil/monster? what does it do?why? how to defeat it? and ...

"it"cant open the door but can break windows and doors and throw heavy objects at you in a pool!what a horrible and tough way to kill btw.
"it" cant run fast but can swim faster than a shark!
"it" couldn`t die with one head-shot from point blank but hey 2 shots do the trick !!
nobody can see "it" but those who are infected and those with blankets really!?
you may pass "it" to someone else with sex?maybe maybe not!it depends on the quality of the sex i suppose!?
"its slow but not dumb" "don`t let it touches you" so what its gonna do? grab and pull your hair to death!?

as i was watching this which was not even near scary i was thinking what will be the ending?how could we link all this ... **** follows would be a better title IMHO

characters are horrible i`m not even going to talk about it ! acts are ok for an indie movie i mean
camera was average and soundtrack was goodish but didn`t help the movie a bit...

here is my advise on recent horror movies:

you wanna watch a decent psychological horror movie go for "The Babadook" .you like blood scenes and mystery "The Oculus" could be nice! hell you want the action horror craps go for "Paranormal Activity" but this is a waste of time and money!(for those who pay) and looking at the IMDb, rotten and metacrititc scores i gotta tell you the truth folks, people are getting dumber all over the world!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It you have seen the Trailer or read any of the glowing accolades there are no possible spoilers left. But, for the sake of sparing those who have remained objective about the return of body horror I will check the appropriate box. It Follows has a beautifully stunning aesthetic that recalls the photography of Gregory Crewdson's Twilight (surreal suburban imagery) or the cinematography from Les Revenants (The Returned) where everything is shot in a crepuscular glow. But, if we were to combine urban legends about waking up and finding "welcome to the wonderful world of AIDS" scrawled on your mirror after a one-night stand with the curse from either version of the Ring you would have It Follows. An interesting premise that sounds preposterous when you can sum it up as a "sexually transmitted curse." Although the movie does not rely on jump scares or soundtrack manipulation it does not employ character development or dialogue either. Also the slowly walking dead who are invisible to anyone not initiated into the sex curse are easy to evade despite being relentless and perpetually changing appearance, so suspense builds only when the audience can see the murderous zombies walking up behind her and the main character is otherwise distracted. We witness her slowly unraveling as she struggles to save herself by passing the curse on to others, if the ethical dilemma had been more pronounced maybe it would have generated suspense but because she eventually does doom her younger sister's crush and a boat of horny boys only to find that the zombies still seek her out because these others have already been killed. Still, the only thing I find remarkable about the movie is the level of disconnect between adults and the teenagers, the media seems unfazed by the initial rape, the inexplicable and violent death of teenagers and that a group of friends are breaking into a pool with a series of electronic devices. It is supposed to have a nightmarish surreal quality but in a world where are consequences are suspended it is hard to fear whatever it is that follows.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start off by saying this movie sucks from any viewing avenue. It is not some dumb coming of age story it is supposed to be a freaky/scary horror movie. While it created some tension, most opportunities were wasted and not followed up by anything remotely scary. I wasn't remotely frightened at any point. There are some parts that don't belong and seem as if it was accidentally put in and forgot about by the director. The 30 extra seconds tacked onto every scene was unnecessary and made me physically frustrated as I felt a 10 year old boy with disabilities would know not to put in. The movie could not establish a time period to save it's life as it jumped from old tv's and black and white shows to a 2007 Ford Explorer. The one special effect in the movie looked as if it was from sharknado and belongs on syfy. I don't know what movie many other reviewers watched as apposed to what movie I watched but it wasn't good and I recommend to not waste your money on it. It was a terrible movie and the trailers were highly misleading as to how scary it would actually be. I felt bad wasting 6 dollars on it, none the less movie theater price. So if you want unnecessary elderly nudity and nonsensical writing, look no further than this movie. I'd also like to add why people should take this review seriously and to that I would say that I made an account just to share my feelings about this movie. I feel as if good movies that are reviewed poorly deserve more of a chance than this terrible movie. I bring your attention to one of my favorite movies Nightcrawler and the fact that this piece of garbage had a higher score on metacritic. I'm sorry but in a movie that had me laughing at how bad it was, I wonder if the people reviewed the movie well even watched it.… Expand

And I also know that every horror flick doesn’t have to be packed with gore or jumps scares. However, It Follows left me with nothing. No sense of dread, I was never creeped out, freaked out, or the least bit afraid. And when the dead victims, ghosts, cursed, w/e, appeared, it was nowhere near as effective as how M. Night Shyamalan pulled it off in The Sixth Sense. I’m not necessarily suggesting skipping It Follows, but if you never end up seeing this movie, you’re not missing out on much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright here's what I have to say about this load of garbage. Why don't we start off with the main character, shes a whore she sleeps with 3 men in the same movie and this is in a span of like 5 days! But that's ok right? Wrong, it's like the movie try's to be bad I mean like the beginning is so slow, wait scratch that the whole **** movie is. I didn't really understand the whole movie to be honest, they had a lot of **** that they wasn't necessary like at the beginning because the girl got her leg bent backwards, but when the ghost got the other dude all that happened was he got raped and died, this **** doesn't make any sense the movie breaks its own rules, an example of this **** is almost the whole **** movie. The ghost is suppose to be slow and only walk, well it shows the main character n friends driving a lot and I mean a lot. You would think that at least out of one of their driving sequences one of them would be a road trip maybe a couple of hours away. But guess what? The ghost shows up in a matter of hours, now unless the movie had a time skip or something then the ghost shouldn't have been able to make it there in a couple of hours. But even if they did have a time skip we were never informed of this they could have been like (A couple of days later or some **** like that) but no there was nothing .The plot is really weak honestly, its about a slut who catches a ghost kinda like a one way STD and if the ghost touches you I guess (I don't really know since the movie doesn't follow its own rules) then you die? yeah it likes to change the rules. Also, why didn't she just take an air plane far away then **** some random dude, it could have been solved so easy but they had to make all this bull **** I can tell you the whole movie with a couple of sentences wanna hear? Alright, Main Char ****s a dude, then she see's a ghost, she runs away from the ghost, ghosts follows her and breaks something, try's to solve it, can't, ****s another guy then repeat this one more time and you have the whole movie right there. Don't believe me? Then why don't you go watch it for yourself because I'm being 100% honest to walahi swear to god that that's all that happens with a few little minor tweaks. I also feel that the character development was weak. All her friends were the stupidest bunch ever and they didn't do much except sit on their lazy ass or they were sleeping. The middle of the movie was just plain boring and there was little to no suspense at all no rising action what so ever just run away from the ghost. The ending of the movie was the stupidest part though. Even after the main char tried to shoot the ghosts face off they decide it would be a good idea to hide in a ONE ENTRANCE AND EXIT POOL! HAHAHAHA what dumb asses, anyways... They put electrical things like toasters and hair dryers around the pool then they put the main char in the pool, My guess is as good as yours that they were trying to kill the ghost in the pool after the girl gets out, and do you think that works? Of course not you dingus, The ghost isn't a retard it doesn't **** around dog it just picks up the **** and starts throwing it at the main char. This is when the dumb ass shoots their friend trying to shoot the ghost that he can't see, buddie please tell me what exactly you're trying to accomplish? I'll just make it quick cause I wanna get to the ending. They put a blanket on the ghost, Point blank it, ghost falls in water, main char swims away from it (another time the movie breaks it's own rules (ghost catches up with the main char swimming as fast as possible)), guy shoots ghost trying to drown main char ghost dies?, main char see's blood in the pool. Great, Perfect, Happy end, NOTTT!!! lets just say it like this. The girl ****s for the third time now THIRD TIME so that guy has the ghost, then he drives past 2 hookers (not sure what he does quite honestly there was never any hint or clue that he ****ed them just drove past) then main char and **** are walking down a side walk you can see someone following them in the distance (The rape ghost) thus ending the movie. Please no squeal. Do i recommend it? NO. Is it scary? NO. I am ashamed of this disgrace of a movie and i want my 1 hour and 40 mins back, your worst enemy's don't deserve this torture. So if you can, Please please please stay away from this movie.

Sincerely: Roronoa_Zoro… Expand

Premise is very strong and interesting but to keep it realistic and teen friendly, there is nothing happening on screen except for nudity. I would call cinematography weak as well as there was not much shaking of camera which was eminent for this genre. Another aspect is adult absence in the movie which is confusing.
Not so entertaining movie which completely failed to build strong work on good idea.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't let the rampantly positive reviews fool you - this is basically just another horror film where a bunch of white suburban teens get into trouble because of sex. It Follows is a smugly self-satisfied monster flick that I suspect works best on audience members who have never actually /dealt/ with the themes its trying to tackle, like terminal illness, rape, stalkers, etc. The film attempts to be subtle but suffers a great deal from inconsistency, over explaining itself in some places and leaving things inexplicably ambiguous in others. And in the end it's got a plotline you could lift from nearly any monster movie, as the creature is defeated (or IS IT?) and the Unlucky Everydude saves the pretty girl. My only hope is that the critical success of this movie will open the door to more daring efforts in the fields of cerebral horror and monster flicks.… Expand

J'ai remarqué que plus des adjectifs sont écrit en gros sur l'affiche, en très gros, plus le film est exactement l'inverse de ce que prétendent ces adjectifs (évidemment) dithyrambiques...

Ainsi, "ça suit", "ça te suit partout" est une grosse merde épouvantable qui tourne à vide du début à la fin. Je propose donc de nouveaux adjectifs pour le décrire : chiant et rasoir, paresseux, une couillonnade, ultra navrant et nul à chier. ça n'a pas assez de matière ni "d'inventivité" pour jouer sur la corde d'un quelconque surréalisme et en tant que "thriller", ça se viande, ça s'étale de tout son long dans le ridicule le plus complet, tout juste rattrapé par ses deux concurrents in extremis que sont l'incrédulité et la bêtise. Une tempête dans un petit verre d'eau tiède en somme, bien loin des superlatifs de la presse mange-boules.

Et quelle prétention que de s'étendre ainsi, de surexploiter le même principe paranoïde sans queue ni tête et de meubler avec ça pendant tout le film ! c'est inepte et sans aucun intérêt.… Expand

I have no idea what's going on here. I normally love psychological horror, The Shining is one of my favorites of all time, but this... The premise is so stupid it actually makes me angry. That's the only feeling this film evokes in me.

I love "Rosemary's Baby" as much as "Braindead". I'm saying this because I've heard that "It Follows" is a movie for horror connoisseurs or whatever - which I find very hard to believe. I started watching "It Follows" with high expectations ("horror flick of the year", anyone?) and ended watching it being just mindblowingly bored. Sure, I wasn't expecting the next Zulawski's "Possession", but I was hoping for a good, enjoyable film - good as a movie and good as a horror. I was waiting for the movie to start, but it never really did - just teenagers waiting and long shots of nothing, presumably allowing the viewer to masturbate with the (admittedly) atmospheric scenery, mixed with bad acting and bad pacing - which resulted in no tension at all, or even moderate interest on my part. Tackling of the main "moral" theme was pretty shallow. Scares weren't there at all. If you really love the retro vibe, well, it's there and it's nice, but certainly not strong enough to carry the whole movie! Neither me nor my companion enjoyed it. Overall, if you need a relatively new movie about an "infectious" curse, see the Japanese "The Ring". If you need an atmospheric slow burner, see the Japanese "Dark Water", "Babadook" or the Korean "Tale of Two Sisters". If you don't need the "horror" element at all, but like a slow, atmospheric mystery, see the classic "Picnic at Hanging Rock". If you need a lot of scare - truth be told, even the last, regurgitated parts of the "Paranormal Activity" franchise gave me more creeps. Dear movie fan reading this, see anything else literally, unless the 80s aesthetic is a major turn on for you. It's overrated.… Expand

Not sure the date it was made but think in the 2000's period, don't care about the actors or actresses names... Got to be honest it started very well and was enjoyable and got weirder and weirder and dragged and got boring and worse and worse especially the ending which is awful... Visions of grannies, women and stuff following this young girl which was pretty creepy but got sillier and sillier, it has some good scare factors but gets worse and worse but the pool scene was excellent.... Rest of the movie was really bad and certainly one of the worst horror films I've ever seen and some of the characters are very unlikely or goofy. Avoid at all costs.… Expand
