Directed by David Robert Mitchell, "It Follows" has gotten rave reviews from everyone who has seen it. Looks creepy.

quote:

“For 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe), the fall should be about school, boys and weekends at the lake. Yet after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter she suddenly finds herself plagued by nightmarish visions; she can’t shake the sensation that someone, or something, is following her. As the threat closes in, Jay and her friends must somehow escape the horrors that are only a few steps behind.”

Definitely looks interesting. She got a demon or something through a sexual encounter?

So it's like the Ring and the video tape. But this time it's an STD. Betting it ends with her thinking she beats the system only to find out it's still following. She sleeps with somebody and it's left open-ended.

Serioulsy though, this would be more of a problem for guys. How hard is it for a decent looking chick to get some? Immediately go to bar, tell first guy she crosses she wants to smash. Boom, It's Not Following.

Looked really stupid and ridiculous, but then I saw this:

The most clever tweak on horror conventions since Cabin in the Woods.

..from one of the critics. So if I look at it in that sort of light, it makes it more palatable I think, and makes me a little interested to see it.

Interested to see what others say about it once it comes out..

If you can get past the premise that it's about a sexually-transmitted haunting, the story is pretty creepy.

Apparently, it will follow her forever until it kills her, unless she can pass it on to someone else.

If the person she passes it on to dies, then it comes back after her again.

This quote from a review on Bloody-Disgusting had me sold:

quote:

While most filmmakers would try and give homage to their favorite horror films (yawn), Mitchell evokes the emotion, aesthetic and vibe of the classics, while injecting his own personailty into it. In essense, he’s furthering the genre.

They better have a really good reason why the girl can't pass it to the next person she sees on the street...

Looks like a cross between the ring and the happening
