It Follows, I've seen this film probably around three times at this point, i think because of the praise it has received from critics and horror fans online I keep trying to give it a chance to impress me, and as with the last two viewings, i don't get the hype. I will say this though i enjoyed it more this time around than i did previously.
I think a lot of that is down to the fact that i got what it was going for a little more and i tried to watch it without its reputation in mind. It's aiming to be a cross between Halloween and A Nightmare On Elm Street.
The synth score, the slow moving looming threat of a faceless killer,
are all taken directly from Halloween and the dynamic of a group of teens trying to fight off an immortal supernatural threat is directly from A Nightmare On Elm Street.
It's a very well made film, the cinematography is great and i like the final girl but its not groundbreaking, its a perfectly decent teen thriller with a bit of an anti-sex commentary to it. Its nothing special but its pretty good.
