It Follows
Jay (Maike Monroe) is 19 years old and life is just beginning - college, boys, weekend parties... But after having sex with her boyfriend, she learns she has become part of something she can't change - she is being stalked by a supernatural entity, and the only way to get rid of it is to have sex with someone else so the thing shifts it focus to the other person. Is there any way to break this curse?
I have seen some good reviews for this film, but this isn't going to be one. I'll be honest, I found it boring.
And pretentious. Not in the least scary. Other reviews have praised it for its lack of gore, and its slow build-up. I still say boring. Not much of a plot. Acting so-so. Writing so-so. Apparently it was a childhood nightmare of the director/writer that started this. If only he'd kept it to himself.
I thought the premise was pretty shitty if you have to trick someone into having sex with you just to rid yourself of this entity that is following you. There is no real explanation of who or what this entity is, why it does what it does, and no clear resolution. I hear there is to be a sequel. I doubt I'll bother to watch it unless I see some indication that it's better. But even so, since people like this one, I'll be suspicious. I'll give this film 2 Stars.
