IT FOLLOWS

It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't give up.

Director: David Robert Mitchell

Actors:  Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Olivia Luccardi and others

Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller

Duration: 100 Minutes

Plot: a young woman is followed by an unknown and evil supernatural force after getting involved in a sexual encounter.

Analysis: at first look, It Follows seems like a typical, low-badget horror movie. The cast consists of young and completely unknown actors, the special effects trigger laughs rather than screams and the film's main idea could have been written by a horny teenager who was drinking beers with his mates. However, this movie manages to unexplainably grasp you from the shoulders and keep you sitted in front of your screen for 100 minutes, as you slowly realise that everything in this film –from the inglorious actors to the naive scenario– is deliberately there, serving its own purpose, like scattered pieces of a puzzle joined together to form a spectacular image.     

      And even though i do not get easily scared, i admit that It Follows made me peeping anxiously behind my back for a whole week!

Things to notice:

• the suspenseful atmposphere,
• the unexpected finale and
• the strange figure lurking behind you...

Oscar awards (2016): –

Evaluation: 7.3/10

Should be watched tonight if: you want to enjoy a clever and trully original horror movie which will not make you scream but will make you fear.
