Creepy Carpenter shrine

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2016)

Reminiscent of classics like Halloween and The Thing in tone, feel, pacing and even score, It Follows is a neat horror movie doomed to be mocked for its seemingly silly premise: a sexually-transmitted curse whose victims are stalked by a slow-moving but implacable shape-shifting entity, like a sort of zombie syphilis.
Still, there is more artistry here than may be immediately obvious. Writer/director David Robert Mitchell does a phenomenal job in terms of atmosphere, creating a palpable sense of dread as the young protagonists try to evade their supernatural enemy escaping through gloomy, Bradburyan suburbs.
7,5/10
