Around this time two years ago, I was writing a year-end review for my fourteenth favorite film of a 2013, one of the two best film years of this century. The film was James Ponsoldt’s The Spectacular Now, the marvelously nuanced and tender romantic drama set in an American high school. That lovely, observant teenage film further confirmed the immense talent of Shailene Woodley and introduced me to the dynamic and charismatic Miles Teller. I was moved more than I ever could have expected by how frankly and empathetically it entered the world of its adolescent protagonists and how thoughtfully it observed them. So few directors show anything more than a passing …

The mood was tremendous but it's not really creepy

"This thing. It's going to follow you. Somebody gave it to me. And I pass it to you."
Now this was a movie I really was looking forward to. I'm a horror fanatic who's always on the lookout for films in this genre that leave others far behind in terms of originality and atmosphere (such as "He never died", "Goodnight Mommy", "The Babadook" and "Spring" for instance). And many advised me to watch this one. The fact that the hype about this movie was disproportionate, made my expectations go sky-high. And did it meet my expectations? Partially it did and partly it didn't. The fact that I went outside for some fresh air after I had watched it and I looked briefly over my shoulder because of the feeling that I was being watched, means that the atmosphere was quite alright. On the other …

It Follows

Yeah, "It Follows" is getting four stars.
Filmmaker David Robert Mitchell stirs up a terrifically scary, smart and unconventional story with engaging characters and an atmosphere that oozes with tension and uneasiness. "It Follows" is an exceptionally well crafted horror film, nailing the tone perfectly through its beautiful cinematography and electronic, almost Carpenter-like score. There are genuinely horrific moments throughout that will force you to peak behind you every so often upon finishing the film. "It Follows" just manages to be a very clever, beautifully directed and surpremely badass horror picture from a director whose future work I sure as hell look forward to. We need more horror films like this and less like "Ouija" and "Annabelle."

Art house horror

You ejaculate it follows, if you seen the movie you would understand that.
The story is about a 19-year-old, should be spending Autumn worrying about school, boys and spending week-ends at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual experience she finds herself unable to shake the feeling that something is stalking her. As strange visions begin to plague her, she turns to her friends to help escape this horror - if she can.
It Follows was a horror movie that I've been waiting for a while now. As I'm speaking right now this movie is rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and critics have been calling this "The scariest movie of all time", says some movie magazine. The movie was getting hyped up and I wanted to see what was all the fuss about and after seeing the movie I can say that It …

Admirable Nostalgic Effort
Unknown - wrote on 04/13/2015
'It Follows' is a simplistic, stripped down horror film that combines elements of old and new cinema. The small story centers on a creative premise. It's a neat 'urban legend' setup that we've never seen before. The constant fear of being followed by this unknown entity creates an underlying paranoia that propels the slow pace in an unconventional way. This leads to a few well staged tense encounters. Gone are the annoying tropes of today's lame horror efforts, and in their place is a nostalgic atmosphere harkening back to cult flicks of the 70's and 80's. Everything from stylistic choices, to camerawork and synth music, permeate throughout. The 'Carpenter'-esc score is excellent! Easily my favorite aspect of the whole film. But, at times, the nostalgia factor felt a bit …

It's Behind You Right Now!
Chris Kavan - wrote on 04/01/2015
It Follows is not a typical horror film by a long shot. There is little in the way of outright violence or blood - a few jump scares to keep your on your toes - but, most importantly, it has an overwhelming sense of dread that never lets up. It is also a nod to some of the 80s classic horror, with the influence of John Carpenter's Halloween most prevalent, but it is also one of the better horror films to come along in awhile.
The opening sees a young woman who is frantically running from... something. Out of her house into the street - back to the house, jumps in the car and never looks back despite a neighbor and her father trying to help her. She winds up at the edge of a lake, making a final call to her parents. The next morning she is still there - contorted into a macabre, broken …
