After teenager Jay sleeps with her new boyfriend Hugh for the first time, she learns that she is the latest victim of a fatal curse that is passed from victim to victim via sexual intercourse.
Death, Jay learns, will slowly make a way toward her as either a friend or a stranger.
Jay's friends don't believe her delusional rantings, until they too begin to see the paranormal phenomena, and band together to help her flee........
The first thing you will sense when watching this movie, is that phenomena known as déjà Vu. Especially if you are a fan of the films of John Carpenter.......namely Halloween.
And it's no way a criticism of this brilliant, slow burning horror.
From the setting, to the wonderful soundtrack, Halloween has its mark over almost everything that this film has to offer.
But what the makers of the film have done, have encouraged the viewer to see the bigger picture, so during the second act, you cannot help but to pay as much attention to the background, as you do to the foreground and the characters paranoid rumblings.
At times, this could almost be a sort of meta-sequel to the movie clichés of the atypical eighties slasher movie.
One of the most well known was the penalty for teenagers having relations with one another, namely, they were succumbed to by the villain of the picture.
Here, it's as almost the film is saying 'look, you didn't listen, you little hipsters, so we are gonna go all Terminator on you......we will not rest.....ever......until you are dead'.
With a great concept, has to be equal narrative, and for the most part, it delivers, and instead of going for the predictable, abhorrent jump shocks, we get the delicious eerie feel of seeing someone from afar, and it just getting closer, and closer.
It lets itself down slightly with the finale, feels like it's been ripped from the pool scenes of Gremlins and Let The Right One In, but all in all, it's a very disturbing experience.
Almost a metaphor/warning about the dangers of unprotected intercourse.
Well worth seeing.
