Refreshing

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2018)

From the very beginning It Follows is cool, unique and fresh. The soundtrack is reminiscent of Stranger Things and with the help of some fantastic camerawork we can really allow ourselves to feel as trapped as our protagonist. Overall a really enjoyable experience, that doesn't take itself too seriously, but unfortunately not one that will have you hiding under your bed covers. The whole movie moved at a fast pace and although it would have been nice to learn some more about the characters, a long scene purely devoted to character development could have potentially destroyed the unending tension that had been built up. It's nice to see some good filmmaking brought into this degenerating genre: it feels like it was made for a purpose; not a profit.
