OK for a slow moving psychological horror story

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2017)

Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of psychological horror movies because they move a little too slow for me. IT FOLLOWS is not a splatter/gore horror movie - it is a psychological one which means that there is more of a dread feeling throughout than outright horror.
The film concerns a woman who contracts a supernatural entity through having sex. The entity will follow her and try to kill her unless she passes it on to someone else who can live long enough to pass it on further.
I know that there are reviewers who have given this movie a 10 - I can't due to all of the plot holes and contradictions (and I wouldn't even if that was all tied up). Let's just say that there are a lot of things left unexplained or that didn't make sense after it was all said and done. For example, there was never an explanation for the origin of the entity or what happens if you are involved with multiple people.
The acting is okay, but I found certain parts hard to hear. As indicated, it also moves along at a tortoise pace, par for the course for this type of movie. It did keep me kinda interested which is more than I can say for a lot of movies in this type of genre. The soundtrack was also quite effective in building up that feeling of dread.
There might be some folks who are a little put off by the underlying abstinence message - I knew what the movie was about before I watched it so I knew what to expect as far as that was concerned. It is such a common theme that it is almost anticipated in any horror film that involves high school/college folks. This one is no exception.
So, the bottom line is that if you can get past the plot holes and contradictions, it is a pretty good psychological horror movie. If you are looking for a blood fest and/or a lot of jump scares you will definitely need to skip it - it will bore you to tears. For me, it was just okay.
