'It follows' should be 'It's boring'

Rating: 1/10 (28 February 2015)

I went to the cinema with friends after seeing the trailer and felt very disappointed with the whole thing. The film initially feels like a typical teenage 'absent parents let's drink and have sex' set up that has been done a million times over as evidenced by the opening scene of a girl running in a circle on the street in shorts and shoes with big heels on.
Only saving grace is the music score, but even that falls short in being supported by what you see next.
Not to mention the misdirected efforts to scare you, like the scene where she is staring down her pants in the bathroom, stares for ages as the music builds only for a ball to hit the window, to try and make you jump, and once it does hit the window, she's suddenly lost interest in the contents of her underwear, and no reason given why she was even looking in the first place!!
The friends in the film have clearly been shoved in just to act as stuffing for the main characters and taken out from that, their characters lack any substance to be people in their own right.
Don't even get me started on the fact that the thing kills her friend in seconds, yet when it gets close enough to kill her, it simply pulls her hair a bit or grabs her by the ankle.
The trailer voice over says that the thing will look like anyone, friend or stranger, in order to get close to her, but the thing shows up as some weird old woman, a half naked cheer leader who is pissing herself, a Langley giant or a twisted featured scary face version of her friend.. Yeah because that will have her running towards it in seconds.
The film makes no effort to find out how the curse started, who started it, just what the thing was etc or any bit of background.
Finally the ending.. Abrupt, makes no sense and let you feeling like 'what was the point in that?'
Overall the film was a massive let down and I wouldn't watch a sequel if the cinema paid me this time round.
