Has you looking at the background, and not just for the great visuals

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2015)

Going in, I was really skeptical of this movie because of the plot. Someone had explained it to me, and it really just sounded like the kind of ghost stories I found the most boring. The super natural sexual killer. This movie manages to find the potential in those kind of stories, and conveys it brilliantly.
I'll focus on the aspect on the movie that I liked the most. Because of the situation depicted, where one never knows what appearance It will have, and only knows that it will be walking slowly towards you, this movie has you constantly looking at the background. This is a brilliant move, as it helps keeping you on the edge of your seat. But it also requires the movie to have interesting visuals, because looking at the background and being annoyed by it would make the movie worse. By accomplishing both having the audience looking at the backgrounds, and also have the audience enjoy the visuals of the movie, the movie makers has really done a good job.
What I did not like: How it's out of question to contact someone who might research/experiment on It. It's easy enough to find a big, open area, and have a car ready to escape. But as in all horror movies, you have to allow the characters to make some decisions you disagree with.
