Horror done cleverly

Rating: 8/10 (3 April 2019)

Tension is the name of the game in It Follows and it is built up brilliantly with the use of clever camera work, a great musical score and the use intelligent scares rather than the standard jump scare. The simple sight of a normal looking person walking towards you isn't something that strikes fear, but it does when you watch It Follows. There's a tension just from knowing that the 'monster' is always coming that carries into every scene and prevents you from relaxing even after the credits roll. There are a few unanswered questions but in a film like this that isn't always a bad thing.
