Don't support this style of marketing hype! (SPOILERS)

Rating: 1/10 (21 April 2015)

There seems to be a really annoying trend in the horror genre that started with Paranormal Activity. These film studios market these horror films as "The Scariest Movie Ever" and even go as far as to release it in limited theaters to create even further buzz. I was duped into going to watch "It Follows" with the mindset that I was in for a serious treat. Everyone online was absolutely raving about how "amazing" and "awesome" this film was. In short, this film was a lazy cash grab. I have been a horror movie fan for a very long time and I seriously do not see what everyone is raving about. What more that there are these online horror movie "gurus" that seem to be the moderators of contradicting opinions. They call people who don't like this film "posers" and basically morons who only like jump scares in their horror films. I wont support this style of bait marketing anymore and urge you all to demand a higher quality horror film. One that shouldn't rely on internet hype to get people to watch it.
As for the film itself? The movie is a constant tribute to Halloween and a Nightmare On Elm Street, without the substance and originality. Throughout the entire film we are shoved these characters that are supposed to be cared for. Seriously, the film is basically an STD that affects its recipient with being followed (sloooowly) by these walking people that are out to harm them. The story fails to ever gain any momentum and we are forced to care about these under developed characters. In the end the protagonist has to sleep with as many people as she can to try and rid herself of this curse, melting my brain by the climax of the film (no pun intended). Seriously folks, lets stop kidding ourselves and stop proclaiming every over hyped horror film as the "scariest ever" and judge them normally. I wish I could get my money back. ticked me off.
