It Follows | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A tonic to the spate of “found footage” and shaky-cam horror films... this is a carefully designed film that recalls the visual control of John Carpenter’s early horror films, especially the way it tracks movement within carefully composed shots.

There are some truly arresting visuals including some particularly striking uses of perspective. But it’s the story between the images that unfortunately doesn’t hold up.

One would wonder plot-wise if one of the victims just performed what the Oxford Dictionary describes as “self-abuse,” that could be considered taking one for the team and end the curse entirely.

"By excluding grown ups from the narrative, 'It Follows' highlights the perseverance of young adults and their reliance on each other for a shared vision."

David Robert Mitchell has made such a superb horror film that its clinging aftereffect continues for an uncommonly long period.
