'It tried'

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2015)

I saw this film as a screen unseen, so I had no idea what I was going to watch. Having said that I had read some reviews on this film and when it showed up on the big screen I thought I was in for an interesting film experience...
How wrong I was. The film opens with a slightly bemusing scene, with no cues or explanation as to what is happening or why.
The rest of the film then carries on as it started, with even more scenes of incomprehensible and borderline laughable sequences of 'it following'.This is accompanied by a score that has to battle through the dire script and lack of real physical tension by being excruciatingly loud to at least make you feel uncomfortable if not scared.
The photography and cinematography in this film are it's only redeeming features. You can see that it tries to be a good indie film in the way that it's shot, And the film has lots to offer if you want over an hour of, admittedly quite pretty, 20 to 30 second long panning shots of derelict buildings in Detroit.
Overall this film could be summed up as 15 minutes of jump scares smeared in-between one and a half hours of pictures of Detroit suburbs with strange 70's eire electro music played loudly over the top.
More like 'It fails' than 'It follows'
