Tentang film ini

For 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe), the fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Faced with this burden, Jay and her teenage friends must find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind.

One of the tropes of the horror genre is the 'slow chase' scene. Zombie's shamble slowly, Michael Myers walks at a steady pace, the Blob oozes etc etc. The victim slips or falls allowing the ever approaching menace to close the gap. Now imagine a film made solely of that scene, and you've got It Follows. That's no bad thing.

After reading all the hype about this film I was really keen to check it out, now after seeing it don't really understand what the hype was all about. It was ok, yes in parts tense (the music score added to it) but the film got lost and at times really disappointing. Def not the best horror film of our time, but had a good idea shame it didn't work.

You either love it or hate it. I don't love it or hate it. It's one of those films when you're just thinking "meh" through the entire film, making up your mind whether it's a masterpiece or garbage.
