Scary? Sent me to sleep!

Rating: 4/10 (3 March 2015)

This got raves from the three pundits on BBCtv's Film Night last week. It gets the triple-yawn from me. A bunch of annoying US teenagers in one of those Haddonfield suburbs are stalked by a ghostly humanoid presence who/which is passed on through sexual intercourse. Make that four yawns.
David Cronenberg took us down this road in his early gross-out SHIVERS (1975), as did Jonathan Glazer in ultra-weird UNDER THE SKIN two years ago. IT FOLLOWS seems to be paying homage to those atmospheric Japanese horrors of recent times, but it sent me to sleep - twice! About three make-you-jump moments - not enough - plus an extended swimming-pool scene which didn't work and an ending that made no sense.
It does not follow
