Surprisingly good from beginning to end

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2015)

If you're looking for jump scares or lots of gore, then this is not going to be a good movie for you. It Follows doesn't have jump scares, lots of screaming, or gratuitous gore, which explains why it's only 7 stars on IMDb but 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie stills that you see online for this movie are misleading. They show a scantily-dressed girl bound in a chair, with a guy behind her, and he's showing her something. That makes it look like maybe a home invasion movie, or a serial- killer movie. But it's not. This is movie is strictly supernatural horror, and it has an original and well-executed premise that will keep you thinking about it for days.
My wife and I loved pretty much everything about this movie. The acting, cinematography, music, plot development and writing are all top-notch, and it's all quite an achievement for such a low-budget film.
The movie manages to fill you with dread and outright fear, and keeps it going in a way that I haven't seen since watching The Ring. But the amazing thing is that there's no mystery to unravel. It's all explained to you near the beginning of the movie. And the plot doesn't rely on certain characters not believing what's going on, or main characters doing stupid things, or other horror tropes. The whole movie is straightforward and still manages to be a great horror movie.
Can't recommend this movie enough.
