This is a Different Type of Horror Film.In my opinion This is the Best Horror Movie of 2015.

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2015)

This was a surprisingly good Horror film and the story was original and intriguing. What I liked about this Film was the Atmosphere,the film had a Dark foreboding atmosphere and I found the Film quite chilling and creepy. This Film handles its horror in a subtle fear of the unknown manner which makes it more of a psychological horror film. What I found creepy about this film is that the girl was trying to Escape from some unknown Thing that she could never truly escape from and to me that's true Horror because no matter what she does it will keep Following her.If that's not true Horror I don't know what is.
I think the people that didn't like this Film were expecting Another Run of the mill Slasher Film and that's why they didn't like it because it was a different type of horror film. I personally prefer this type of horror film a film that focuses on Atmosphere and fear of the unknown to creep out its viewer. I thought the directing and Writing of this film were pretty good also the Film had a creepy score that fit the Film perfectly.
I liked the idea to the film that an unknown supernatural force follows you everywhere you go and this unknown force gets passed to you from someone else through sex and then that person can Pass it on to someone else and only the Person that has IT can see it which is an original idea and one that I've never seen before.So I think the Film deserves some credit for doing something different at least,This film is also better than most Horror Films that come out now a days.
I feel that most horror films Follow the same formula but this one didn't it went in a strange and unpredictable direction. Most horror films have lame jump scares but this one had none and I liked it like that because jump scares are not scary they simply surprise you but being surprised and being scared are two totally different Things and That,s where this film succeeds because it creeps out the viewer with the Fear of the unknown. The creepy images you see in this film will stay with you when the films over but jump scares Do Not.
I personally find something that you don't know or understand is more scary than something you do understand,Because when you understand what It Is that's after you it's not scary anymore also having No motive is scarier than having one but in this film you never know the reason why IT FOLLOWS and that's what makes it so Scary and chilling. Now getting to the characters I personally thought they were okay they were a normal group of teenagers that hang out and have fun and I tend to like characters like that more than your cliché characters. That's another thing that made this film work I liked most of the characters and I actually felt bad for the Main Girl that was being followed by the unknown Force.
The acting was actually quite good from the Main teenagers,I found them convincing whenever they got scared.Maika Monroe played her part very well and she fit the part.(I also thought she looked pretty good too). I liked that her friends stood by her and tried to help her they didn't give up on her,they stood by her even though they didn't understand what was going on.that showed she had good friends it also made them likable. The Film also has good cinematography and the pacing was good I never got bored by the Film.
Warning Big Spoilers Bellow!.
I don't have many problems with the film maybe only three. 1 we never find out what the unknown creature is or where it comes from. 2 the unknown creature made itself look weird a lot of times which I thought was a bit stupid because it gave itself Away by doing that. (I knew it was the creature). Since this creature can make itself look like anyone it would have been smarter if it made itself look like the girls mother or Sister because then it could trick her and kill her.Instead The Creature makes itself look like old ladies,weird girls and Tall looking men with Strange eyes,which I thought was way too weird not to mention obvious.
3 the boyfriend character is the one that passed the unknown creature on to her in the first place just so he could save himself and yet later in the Film when the girl and her friends go to his house they are not even Angry with him for what he did which I found weird because it was his fault that this Thing is Following them in the first place yet nobody blames him at all which is very odd because I definitely would.Those were just some small problems I had with the film but they were not enough to destroy my enjoyment of the film.
Overall it's still a good film and I recommend it.The Film was not Terrifying I just found it very chilling and suspenseful and the Ending fight against the unknown creature was entertaining. I liked the Film and I would definitely watch it again.
