Would have been a better short film...

Rating: 4/10 (17 April 2015)

I'm all for a slow-burn horror film that builds at a methodical pace towards some true, uncut terror but I found "It Follows" to be more of a slow fizzle that was going nowhere very slowly and had only a few spooky moments early on in the feature.
To me, I feel this project could have worked better as a short film because the concept is great and honors an old horror film trope while being unique as it does so, the camera work and shot compilation is great, and it makes use of some truly striking and intense music. However, I didn't care a single ounce for the characters, I found myself getting more and more bored as the plot felt like it was going nowhere and had no clue what it was doing and, after the first 15 minutes, all potential for scares were lost for me due to its repetitive and lost-feeling story.
There were elements that worked and a lot that weren't working for me with "It Follows" and it ultimately made me feel like this film is all hype with no real substance.
