YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
yerrrr Not scary at all, comically bad in parts. Really don't understand the high ratings for this. I don't watch many horrors but this is definitely the worst.
Michael Speiser It Follows was a hit for a reason, and that's because it's great horror. I don't know a single person who wasn't creeped out while watching this movie. Horror fans will fall in love with this movie, and non horror fans will get a good thrill that is well built through great cinematography and writing. The cinematography in this movie is a style I personally really enjoy, so I thought the movie as a whole looked great. I didn't have as much of an issue with "the scene" that most people seem to have an issue with. It isn't the most well written scene in the entire movie, but I think it fits the movie well and when I was watching it I never thought it was detracting from the story. I was surprisingly pleased with the quality of the acting, but with a good director anything's possible. All movies start at a neutral rating of 5 for me, and this movie goes up to a solid 9. That 9 is well deserved, because this movie has great music, writing, acting, and more than anything, cinematography. You should watch this movie regardless of who you are, because if anything it's a great example of what the genre should be.
mcolenso I thought this would be a good horror movie because it had a lot of great reviews saying that true horror fans would love it. I consider myself to be a pretty big horror fan but I didn't not love this movie. The whole premise is creative and original but they didn't really pull it off. It wasn't a terrible movie but in terms of being a horror movie, it is definitely not good. Spoilers coming...First of all, it wasn't even scary. Pretty sure that's the point of a horror movie. Maybe they weren't going for surprises that get people to jump out of their seats, but a good horror movie will have people dying of anticipation for several minutes straight, at least somewhere near the end. This movie was not scary in the slightest except for some of the acting (Maika Monroe was good though). The idea of a sexually transmitted curse or whatever is very interesting and original but some things about "it" are just stupid. I don't mind the walking. Some of the greatest horror movie villains walk (Michael Myers). But if you can drive away to buy some time, couldn't you fly to Hawaii and never have to worry about it again? Also it apparently can take the form of someone you love but they failed to capitalize on that by having it do that early when the main character doesn't believe in what's happening yet and potentially having a close call with death. The only times it does this are basically pointless to the story. I don't understand why they tried to kill it at the pool. Didn't she shoot it in the neck or head at the lake? And it just got right back up. Overall, not an awful movie, but it was an awful horror movie. I'll give it three stars just for the creativity.
agentgdward I rented it for Daniel Zovatto. He's a wonderful actor but holy hell his death was more disturbing than anything I've watched him in. The whole movie creeped me out but I can see where people felt like it was preachy or followed the ''have sex get punished" trope. Still creepy, paced well, and I like that it makes you ask the "could you live with yourself" question. I knew when I watched The Ring that I could pass along a copy of a tape to save myself. No question. I don't know how anyone wouldn't be 'followed' by passing along the ghost/curse in this film. That's why I have to give credit to a film that redrew the line of morality vs survival. TL;DR it's messed up and possibly has a tired old message but I think it did ask for more thought on how much effecting others effects ourselves. Zovatto deserves credit for his acting but his last scene is deeply disturbed...go watch him in something else
