Outstanding Horror Elements, Good Acting, Great Direction and Writing

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2017)

"It Follows" is definitely one of the better horror movies released in the last five years. It uses genuine elements to create an atmosphere of horror, as compared to the routine and clichÃ©d jump-scares. The plot revolves around a nineteen year old girl, Jay (M. Monroe) who gets haunted by an evil being after she has sex with a boy in his car. After their tryst, the boy reveals to her that he passed on a curse when they had intercourse ; now Jay must pass on the curse to someone else by having sex. If she doesn't, the evil spirit will kill her, and then come back to haunt the boy again. Jay teams up with her sister and friends to fight and defeat the evil spirit. Will they succeed in outwitting the evil being ?
The direction and story-writing are excellent. The director has breathed new life into the horror genre. He has used mostly young actors and churned out brilliant performances from them. He has used the camera (s) quite cleverly also. The soundtrack / music of "It Follows" is outstanding. The musical element elevates the horror to the highest level.
I would love to become a story-writer for movies because intriguing stories develop in my mind all the time (Yes, I am telling the truth !!). Employers can contact me at svhot34@gmail.com
