No one could keep silent about the critically acclaimed, psycho-sexual horror film that made it's debut at 2014's Cannes Film Festival, "It Follows," and it's finally received it's wide release. This movie feels like an ode to horror movies past. In a time where an abundance of blood, jump-scare tactics and screaming feel normal, It Follows, feels like a jagged knife in the side of modern horror cinema. Accompanied with an aggressive and sometimes, menacing, soundtrack, the movie follows the story of Jay, a girl who gets passed what is simply known as, "It," after a sexual encounter. The premise is simple, "It," can be anyone you know or someone you don't know and no matter where you are, it's always walking towards you, but the films gear shift in tone as well as pacing help immerse the viewer into the paranoia that these characters are experiencing. It's a truly terrifying scenario, executed expertly by old horror movie tactics (specifically a number of wide angle lens shots) that make this film feel all the more fresh. The writing is great and the dialogue is believable. The movie seems even more incredible when you find out that the frame work for this story came from director David Robert Mitchells childhood nightmare. The ending itself is enough to leave you discussing this film for ages to come and it's already brought on some interesting interpretations. The movies well written, suspenseful and one of the best indie horror movies I've ever seen. This is the next film you're going to try to get all of your friends to watch.
