Are you kidding me?

Rating: 2/10 (10 May 2018)

I thought the premise for this movie was pretty dumb since first seeing a trailer for it. But after reading a lot of positive reviews, I thought maybe this movie got the most out of the whole "STD that hunts you down and kills you" premise. Turns out it was actually a worse movie than I had originally imagined, not better.
I have completely lost faith in IMDB reviews after watching this movie. This just is not a good movie, plain and simple. Anybody that says this is a good movie clearly knows nothing about what does and does not make for a good film. I saw one moron say that if you don't like this movie, its because you only like horror movies that make you "jump". Actually, I prefer horror movies that create real fear as opposed to ones that try to scare you with loud noises and sudden movements. I loved the movie "The Babadook" because their were 3 scenes that sent chills down my spine without trying to make me jump at all.
But "It Follows" is just not scary at all. The only thing slightly frighening was the appearances of a couple of the forms "It" takes on. On top of not being scary, its just not a well put-together movie. There are some really poor transitions from one scene to the next, characters make decisions that make little or no sense, and a few scenes just made me wonder "what the hell is going on in this movie right now??"
The only reason I didn't give this movie a 1/10 is that, unfortunately, there are bigger pieces of crap out there (see "The Invitation" or "Open House). Make no mistake though, "It Follows" is a piece of trash and anybody that gave it more than 5/10 should be banned from writing IMDB reviews.
