I wanted to see IT FOLLOWS since it came out. Somehow missed the theatrical release and had to wait until it was out on BluRay. So I decided to get it for Christmas and watched it right after I got it.
This movie is about STD's. Sort of. It's a STC, a sexually transmitted curse. When you have it, IT will FOLLOW you. Slowly. Just walking. You can run. You can hide. But IT will always FOLLOW. It could be anyone, but mostly it's naked females.
I'm not gonna tell you any more, because you should see it blind. But it's a great horror movie. Very suspenseful, very scary. And inventive. Kind of playing on the horror trope of the slow walking killer from the 80s, but putting a twist on it that makes it one of the best horror movies of this year, of some time.
The music could be written by John Carpenter, and AFAIK he loved this movie, too.
The set design is awesome, really throwing you off at times and no one knows when it is set. Some people have smartphones, some old cord phones. Also this one girl has a weird ebook reader that also could be a flashlight. Also everything is a little off, as there are basically no parents to be seen.
The characters make some bad choices, but that's forgivable.
I really love this movie and I'm rating it 4 out of 5 stars. Go watch IT (FOLLOWS).
