It Follows, well done.

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2016)

Horror movies are a dime a dozen. Great horror movies are not. What used to be great isn't great anymore because its old hat. This movie is an original idea that doesn't really follow any of the horror rules that have been set in place over the last 3 or 4 decades. I'm not saying this is the best horror movie ever, but I appreciate the originality of what they did here. The atmosphere created by the acting and the music really helped this movie hit its mark. There is a creepy vibe given off at times that suck you in and then nothing happens. Then the opposite happens. The killer(s), now there's a great idea. This is a fight that you just can't win. You can't run, you can't really hide, you can't fight it or use weapons to destroy it/them. And the form the killer takes can be someone you know or love, someone you've seen before or just some random person walking down the street. Only the person targeted can see the killer, but you will learn that others can see the effects of what happens when one gets its hands on the followed. But the idea that it is sexually transmitted is awesome. If you read that in a description you may automatically think its a comedy or that the idea is ridiculous. Well, it just works. The idea just works. You don't even think it to be ridiculous once the movie gets going and you see the first victim in the movie. She is just messed up. So any potential for laughs is scrubbed clean by the visual of the first dead girl. Well done horror. I'm a new fan of this movie.
