a Simple yet Engaging Horror Film

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2016)

This movie is about a thing that follows people, and there is no escaping it! It is a simple concept but was well executed in this movie. The movies ending however is pretty inconclusive, leaving you with many unanswered questions that ads to the whole mystery of the brilliant movie. A simple story that is different and well executed.
For a person only new to the whole horror genera, it was not the scariest movie ever. We don't get too involved in what's going on in the other characters lives. Staying focused on the main story at hand (the follower) and they drag this out as the movie progresses, putting you in more and more suspense. leaving us with the follower to think of and not the stuff that is happening to the other characters.
I loved the camera work in this movie, it is different to what is in others and some of it I have never seen on screen. the long turning camera motion featured a couple times throughout. Good way to set the scene and emotion of the characters involved. They do 1 or 2 passes of the environment then focus in on the action. They used the right camera shots at the right time. for example: hand-held; making it seem as though something is about to happen, keeping you on the edge of your seat. the forward shot on road in between scenes, well placed slow- motion and the camera attached to the front of the moving objects.
The acting in this movie is average, only a bunch of teenagers in a horror film. The actors that played the Follower did a good job at making the audience forget that they are actually real people on screen.
