It Falters? It Fails? It Flops? Yeah, all of those.

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2015)

Overall I don't have much to add that the other low-star reviewers haven't said already. Most of their comments are right on the money. Like the cold-open from the first "Scream" movie, this one's opening sequence holds out the promise of something better to come, but where "Scream" delivered, "It Follows" falls flat. Maybe it should have been called "It Falters". I'm giving it 3 stars because: 1) writer/director D.R.Mitchell wanted to invoke the classic 70's/80's horror movie vibe, and he pulled that off pretty well; 2) he managed to get it his project made *and* released, which is an admirable accomplishment; 3) he's somehow managed to dupe a crap-ton of reviewers into thinking this was somehow groundbreaking, innovative, or any level of scary or even entertaining. So good for him, 3- stars. As for we viewers, I strongly suggest you save your money and wait for something that actually lives up to its hype. An "instant classic"? Hardly - I'll give this thing 3 months to ride the hype, then no one will even remember it existed.
