It...Blows

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2015)

"It Follows" is just plain bad. I don't know why or what caused all the hub-bub, but this was one of the silliest movies I've seen in quite some time. I was lost from the very beginning. It seems some girl, wearing red pumps--and I do mean SEVERE pumps--is all in a tither. Over what, I never really knew; I could guess, but if "it" was after her, why on god's green earth would she choose to run from it wearing severe red pumps? But I digress.
It seems whatever "it" encompasses is passed from one to the next victim by means of sexual transmission. If you get "it", you may never get rid of "it." So what you basically have is a movie where a bunch of morons drive around quite a bit, people who lurch menacingly about, and I'm supposed to be scared.
And there's the ending. Don't worry; I will NOT give it away, but to me it just said "we're desperate to end this movie and we really don't know how, so we'll just do this."
Rated "R" for language, brief nudity, and (laughable) images, perhaps it's time for me to stop reviewing horror period. Most movies of this genre nowadays are poorly made, horribly acted, make no sense, and are only interested in vile and nasty ways to off people. I certainly do not abhor violence, but violence-for- violence sake has grown quite tiring. Trouble is, I LOVE horror. I just find so little to like about it anymore.
