Feels like the birth of a new urban legend.

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2014)

Although I've ticked the Spoiler box, I'll attempt to keep this very light on them and other than the basic premise, I won't disclose plot points.
It Follows is nightmarish. The story concerns a curse which is passed from person to person through sexual intercourse. If you are the latest recipient of the curse, you will find yourself stalked by an entity which can take on the appearance of anyone. All it wants to do is get close enough to kill you.
The brilliant thing about the film's entity is the way it's subtly wrong. Although it always appears as a human, the humans often seem out of place in a disquieting manner. Another strength of the film is that it rigidly sticks to its simple rules and it doesn't cheat. The creature doesn't just pop up from nowhere, it can't teleport, and most disturbing of all, it never runs. It just walks. And walks. And walks. Until you're dead.
The only slight niggles I had with the film are that it does look a *little* cheap at times and the soundtrack - which is by Disasterpiece, the composer of the video game FEZ - does sound a little simplistic at times, and, for me, distractingly like the FEZ soundtrack. At other times the soundtrack is very effective, so your mileage may vary on that gripe.
