Finally, An Original Horror

Rating: 8/10 (6 September 2015)

It Follows could be viewed as a metaphor of sexually transmitted diseases, or one could take a more literal approach to the film; either way, the concept is new, refreshing and above all, good. It Follows is apart of a small band of horror films that, in modern times, is very good, very engaging and very entertaining. You would be hard pressed to find a better horror film that doesn't rely on the typical clichés of the genre. However, if criticism prevails, It Follows fails in the scares department. The film is pretty lack luster in the whole scary mood, but that doesn't mean it's terrible, in fact, it's hard to see this movie being scary without resulting to clichés and cheap jump scares.
A very good job to the creators of this film. It's original, it's probably the funniest film I've watched in a while and it produces a decent wave for other films to follow in its footsteps. A true gem in the rough.
