It Follows (2015)

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Before i watched the film i saw, teh trailer, which hyped it up for me, being reminiscent of films i'd seen recently such as insidious, But sadly i don't thin kthis film did it. my first problem with the film was the spirits, for a supernatural psychological film of this nature, using human like spirits, just doesn't really work, the first scene of a spirit, was an old women in a white nightie or whatever walking into the scene, i understand the premise that i looks like someone you may know, but that scene, didn't evoke any emotions in me, and the whole premise of a curse passed on by sex, is too common in horror films now days, so to make an entire film based around that premise i can't see much room for originality, as an avid horror film, fan this film was too predictable, and it left nothing to the imagination, and the scenes at the pool made no sense, the setting up of furniture, made no sense, and the fight scene, it was more resemblant of a scene of domestic violence, than that of a fight between a human and a non human form, i liked the deliberate exclusion pf jumpscares, in preference of building tension, but that never happened, as well as this the emotion didn't seem as genuine, the scenes of drama could have been over exaggerated, it would make sense that a few stupid decisions be made, but no, and so the film seemingly just went on and on, not really changing in complexity or story, i personally like films that make you think, this was too predictable and in the end i stopped watching the film ten minutes before the end of the film due to boredom.

I rented it for Daniel Zovatto. He's a wonderful actor but holy hell his death was more disturbing than anything I've watched him in. The whole movie creeped me out but I can see where people felt like it was preachy or followed the ''have sex get punished" trope. Still creepy, paced well, and I like that it makes you ask the "could you live with yourself" question. I knew when I watched The Ring that I could pass along a copy of a tape to save myself. No question. I don't know how anyone wouldn't be 'followed' by passing along the ghost/curse in this film. That's why I have to give credit to a film that redrew the line of morality vs survival. TL;DR it's messed up and possibly has a tired old message but I think it did ask for more thought on how much effecting others effects ourselves. Zovatto deserves credit for his acting but his last scene is deeply disturbed...go watch him in something else

Watched on Netflix, I wish I could fast forward this boring nonsense! Don't waste your time on this.

The trailer made the movie look interesting and it is indeed interesting. Horror movie with teenagers that really act as teenagers. The "thing" that follow by the end of movie was not explained except that I got ideas about what it could be. Camera handling and suspense made it worth the time.
