Good and kinda original horror picture

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"It Follows" (2014) has got some really intriguing idea. It's not the most original horror plot, but it will definitely raise a question - "what would i did in this kind of situation?" - so you can count this one as having a truly kind of original horror movie plot twist.
Execution of this plot is also done not in a traditional way. Cinematography is terrific in here - there are some steady and long shoots, there is no shaky camera, so you can always see bright and clear what is going on. Direction, writing are very solid. Music was also very good, and not a traditional horror movie theme. Acting was good, much better than in average horror flick, although no one here will win anything for in acting department.
And yet, i'm giving to "It Follows" "only" 8/10 - seeing the praises from critics i thought the final rating will be higher. Don't get me wrong - this is an exceptionally well made and kind of original horror picture. It barely drags and is involving from start till finish. But it doesn't grab you as hard as it could have, the premise and execution of it's parts are better then the whole. Nevertheless, this is superbly well crafted horror picture, which in my opinion isn't THAT scary, but it has great mood, great idea, terrific cinematography, great direction. All in all, this is good movie.
