Weird... but weird is good

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2017)

It's nearly impossible to come up with an original idea in the horror genre these days but 'It Follows' gives it a really good shot. This is a creepy, bizarre film that makes for a welcome addition to a genre that has become increasingly stale and unimaginative in recent years.
'It Follows' takes plenty of risks and it's inevitable that not everyone will 'get' this film, so it's no surprise to see so many negative reviews. 'It Follows' achieves most of its scares purely psychologically and does a great job at building tension and the whole film has a really eerie atmosphere about it.
This is a weird film, even for a horror. I wasn't sure what to expect, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure what to think now I've seen it. All I can say is that it was weird... but weird is good.
