It Follows is an extremely underrated psychological horror/horror movie.

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2015)

Nominated in Cannes Film Festival and winner (Best Film, best screenplay) in Austin Fantastic Fest (Next Wave award) this is an extremely underrated (6,9 in IMDb) psychological horror/horror movie. This is the first serious film of David Robert Mitchell, an obviously extremely talented director that you should keep an eye on. The movie on the surface talks about some kind of supernatural virus that is transmitted through sexual intercourse (David Cronenberg influence spotted there). I know that sounds cheeky, but in fact the movie is an a deep allegory (I'm not going to say about what, that's up to your judgment). At the same time it's a surprisingly well made psychological horror movie that escalates slowly like all horror movies should (like classic movie "The Exorcist" does). Direction and sound are excellent and the dialogs between the characters imply more than the obvious. The ambiguous ending is fantastic. This is an art film that I have watched twice within a month. Sooner or later it's going to get the attention it deserves. Note: The trailer cannot depict the atmosphere of the film. If you expect cheap impressive horror movie tricks, this is not your cup of tea.
Grade: A-
