    It Follows

    Reviewed by

    It Follows is one of my most anticipated movies of 2015. I'm a huge horror fan, and I haven't seen a good horror film since The Babadook. After reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews for It Follows, I was excited. Well, I'm so glad to be saying that It Follows is a unique and horrifying film!

    THE GOOD:

    + The cinematography is utterly breathtaking. I was astounded how this movie looked so damn good. The scenes were very well lit and gorgeously shot, giving a retro feel to the film.

    + The musical score is one of the best of the year! It may be one of the greatest scores for a horror film of all time! It was very 8-bit retro style with eerie parts that gave suspense and terror. In fact, I'm listening to it as I write this.

    + The directing by David Robert Mitchell is absolutely incredible. He uses unique shots to build suspense and effectively scare the audience. He used mostly wide angles, which had the audience always searching in the background for "it".

    + It Follows is a terrifying horror film that had me on the edge of my seat almost the entire film. The director rarely uses jump-scares at all, which I am thankful for. Instead, he actually creates terror slowly and effectively.

    + The concept is executed very well. The story goes in some directions that I didn't see coming. The pace is also fast and the film never gets boring.

    + The acting is mostly quite good. Maika Monroe is a great lead actress with a big future ahead of her. The rest of the supporting cast gave realistic performances.

    + The ending is one of the best I've sen for a horror film in a very long time.

    THE BAD:

    - The main problems I have with It Follows are in the plot. I found myself questioning the rules behind "it" quite often.

    - The characters make some clichéd horror movie decisions that I found the be very stupid. There are many small things that the main character does that are dumb decisions that put her in major danger.

    - There were a couple of predictable scares and plot points. I usually called when a scare would happen.

    Overall, It Follows is a brilliantly directed, beautiful looking, effective horror movie is very few problems. Please see it!
