PAINFUL to watch

Rating: 1/10 (17 October 2016)

This is THE worst 'horror' movie I've yet seen (and I'm a horror nerd, I've seen nearly every horror film made since the very beginning of cinematography). Amateurish, immature, poorly made, poorly written. Growing up isn't scary. It its best it's conflicting. Sex isn't scary. Losing virginity isn't scary. What child mind thought this is in any way interesting? The only thing this movie managed was making me want to watch Polanski (and I really hate Polanski, so good job, movie). The acting is dreadful. The whole plot is handled as though the main character was at least violently raped. The director/writer is a very immature person. He handles the loss of virginity as violent and traumatizing act which causes PTSD, depression and self hatred. His constant reminder of 'being a child was the best thing which happened to me, growing up is awful' coming out of mouths of these spoiled rich privileged people is borderline insulting. He handles sex as something disgusting and scary. Is he just THAT frustrated? Also, one more point, character writing. Who are these people? What are their names? Why should I care about some spoiled white trash girls sipping their Starbucks lattes? Why should I care about ANYONE in this movie? Not a single reason has been given. I watched this movie because of the strangely conflicting difference between the rating scores and the reception in reviews. After finishing I know one thing for sure - every single positive score given to 'It Follows' was bought or faked. These which weren't must have been given by similar child-minded people terrified of growing up. Very sad, very disappointing, very poorly made little film. The best I can say, and that is still extremely far-fetched, is that the music wasn't bad.
