It Follows doesn't disappoint.

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2015)

Basically it's the camera work of this fine up and coming director David Robert Mitchell who handled this horror film with respect to the genre. Along with the great photography and ---- of course, the lead actress Maika Monroe who's a pleasure to watch. After having watched The Guest in which she also is cast , i went to see this film. There are certain comparisons in the two films - both horror films- the synth music , and maybe hints of the same kind of atmosphere - and that it emphasises on young people and not the parents or older ones.
I liked both of them , but i think " It Follows " heads higher. Because it also reminded me of " the shining" , basically the eerie shots the director filmed in various points , for instance , the ones that are full screen moving sceneries - no people or familiar objects in sight , just moving scenery. It added the haunting vibes , of which the film has plenty and thus , its a successful horror film.
The actors overall were solid in their roles. The music was perhaps exceptional. The director certainly paid homage to older horror films , he didn't copy techniques , but he used them to create something of his own , and that is admirable.
Because It Follows is original. You can compare it to films coming close to it , but in essence it stands alone.
Again , great photography , apparently of Detroit suburbia and solid filming.
The reason it got a 7 by me , and not more , is that it got tiresome at a point where you are too familiar with what's happening , you know the pattern. Still , due to the good filming and the cast's work it managed to stand , but there was a mild sense of --- "ok i get it now - lets move on". Maybe it was just me , but i got that thought at a point about two thirds into the film.
But this is me stating maybe the only " minus " of this otherwise great film. So don't be put off by this remark.
It will scare you , do watch it with friends , girlfriend/boyfriend or alone , just be warned , it does the job.
Well done to the director , a great second feature film to have made.
Looking forward to both the director's next work , and the actress's Maika Monroe's with whom i'm starting to have a moderate obsession.
