vintage, but not too scary

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2015)

being as i'm off today and no one else is home, naturally I went to the 10:00am (that's correct, am) showing of It Follows. touted by some as 'the scariest movie in 10 years'
not
I will say this though. only those who have seen a lot of horror movies, especially those from the 70's and 80's such as Exorcist, Shining, Omen, original Evil Dead and so forth will appreciate the retro style here.
hats off to the cinematographer and director for use of old school 360Â° pans, camera following behind person, eye level car rides slightly sped with no vehicle reference point (ala evil dead in the woods, but from a car)
the soundtrack was like something straight off of Halloween or Friday the 13th.
story time period is cleverly disguised behind vintage TV sets, cars, furniture and what not. you even see corded phones. the only give away that this is later than you think is one girl has a little clam shaped e-reader of some sort. very well done ambiguous time setting
now, as for the story... a demon inhabits people and follows the latest affected victim. as in literally follows them around at walking dead zombie pace. the trick is, it can change form (always a person), so you're never quite sure.
you 'pass' the curse through sex (what else?) don't worry, strictly pg-13, which is odd because the movie is R. anyway, the other person starts being followed, but previous victims continue to see "it" (no one else sees it). if it catches you, you die, and then it returns to following the prior person
well made from the nostalgia of the retro styling, but *far from the scariest film in the last 10 years, or ever
I would describe the ending as "It Follows 2"
