It Follows...that this movie is complete rubbish.

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2015)

Well there's an hour and forty minutes of my life I won't get back. Not scary enough to grip you with fear, not interesting enough to spin your mind, not disturbing enough to trouble your soul. Basically, it's none of the things you want and so deeply crave in a horror/thriller film. The idea was solid, the acting was sufficient, the writing was mediocre, and that's all the good there is to say about it. And now the bad, for which i could just write the films title, NUFF SAID. But this is a review, so into the details. The music was repetitive, boring, and failed to create the proper atmosphere, which is a vital part of any film, particularly those in the horror genre. There was no emotional attachment to any of the characters. "Oh Look! That dude just died!" Whoopty doo. "Hey! That chick just got herself killed!" Aaaaand I don't care. "Here's a random familial connection and some abrupt backstory that should inspire deep emotion in you!" WHAT!? WHERE DID THAT EVEN COME FROM!?...oh, and I still don't care. The kills are lame, not that I mind. I prefer psychological fear factor over blood and guts. But then, there isn't any psychological fear factor to be found. And there aren't any real scares to be found either. Whether you're looking for in-your-face jump scares, or slow builds and glimpses in the corner of the frame, keep looking, because it's not to be found here. The only horror/thriller movies I've seen that didn't have a real fear factor at least had some thought provoking notions. Or at the very, very least, had some stomach turning scenes. All in all, if you liked this movie, GREAT! This review isn't for people who have seen it. For those of you who haven't got around to seeing it yet and, like me, are considering checking it out because the 7+ rating and the good reviews, I strongly urge you NOT TO WASTE AN HOUR AND FORTIE MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE. I almost never regret watching a movie, even if it's terrible, I can always pull something from it that makes it feel like time well spent. But this...this is different, it's just dull, so very, very, dull. It creates no fear, inspires no emotion, produces no thought. Quite simply, it sucks. I have only ever written one other IMDb review, this is not something I commonly do. I only write this to try and save an hour and forty minutes of some other prospective viewers life.
