It Follows is one of the best horror films this year. Sure, it has problems and doesn’t take its premise far enough but what it does right is really effective. Maybe I’m just glad to see a lower budget horror film that actually cares about cinematography or that isn’t found footage but I dig It Follows.
I still don’t understand all the rules around the “it” because they seem to be broken at different points (like in the pool scenes at the end) but there are some generally scary moments that overcome most of my concerns. It’s so rare to get any kind of legitimate scare or see anything remotely creepy in most uninspired horror films today. That alone makes It Follows worth recommending.
