a highly thrilling experience

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2015)

This movie makes many things right. First of all it must be said that the main idea of the movie is nicely chosen. Yes, there are some movies which have a similar idea. But "It follows" mixes those ideas up and combines them to a new entertaining style of horror. So actually the movie isn't really that innovative, like many people pretend. It is rather how the movie is made, it's about the entertainment. Scary music, combined with a very well proportioned amount of jump-scares and visual-scares. Between those scares the movie doesn't get boring, because the director manages that the viewers are afraid nearly in the same level like the protagonists. Why that? It's because of those scares which are really intensively done. The viewer is just afraid of the next scare, because the viewer knows that it will come for sure, and is waiting it to happen. It could happen in any moment and in every place. So it must be said that the thrill goes non-stop throughout the whole movie. The main aspect which must be criticized is that the protagonists behave really stupid. As a viewer you ask yourself: wait, why doesn't she do this or that? But if you search an entertaining and highly thrilling movie (it's less a horror, i would rather call it a thriller with some horror-like moments), then this is the one you need to watch.
