Interesting story-idea, but cold and boring film direction.

Rating: 6/10 (16 June 2015)

The following analytical review is just a personal statement of a horror-movies fan. I do not mean to insult or underestimate any of the film cast or workers by any word.
When compared to other hot horror movies in 2014-2015 such as Annabelle, The Lazarus Effect, and Insidious 3, I believe that this movie falls behind. We've seen many great cold horror movies in the past (e.x. Orphan, Let the Right One In), but this one is far away from joining them. The simplicity of the story-idea has forbidden the storyline from expanding and involving more creativity. Directors often tend to use the surprise element to make the audience jump from their seats and leave the movies theater very happy (and scared eventually), but Mitchell here wanted to evolve a more complicated cinematic experience in his work which is to be counted, but not praised.
I would not watch a "It Follows 2" if they decided to do so, but it would be interesting to have another director and script creator to work on this lovely idea. AIDS is a very horrific ghost =)
