The Horror Movie I Might have been Waiting For

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2015)

I am not an avid horror movie-goer, let's put it that way. I think most modern horror movies are very bland, and when it's not some demented doll or house, its teen drama revolving around a curse. 'It Follows' brings back that classic 'can't run away from slowly moving threat' theme. But, it works. Yeah there's sex and cheesy things like that, BUT the characters aren't TOO bland together and work well as a realistic group of friends. None of the scares really 'jump' out at you. The filmmakers simply lay it out for you on plate and you get to look at it for a few seconds. This works though! I hate horror movies filled with jump scares and what not, it has to be terrifying throughout the entire scene. The cinematography is great, I was impressed with the shots and the color choices/variation and the editing isn't too bad either. The sound design is what really got me though, it was, 'ominously 80's' horror style.
