Fans of early John Carpenter will immediately identify the master’s influence — on the voyeuristic slink of the camera, the synth pulse of Rich Vreeland’s throwback score, and the transformation of “safe,” warmly lit residential environments into landscapes of dread.

Low budget done right. Found this movie by accident and couldn't stop watching.

The absence of old adult characters suggests a world of failed relationships between parents and children, as well as the bare thread that conveys the bond between young adults and their caregivers. In short, an interesting radiograph of contemporary relations. The a entity can be seen as a metaphor for selfishness, especially in a large part of American society, usually involved in hegemonic conflicts with other nations of the world. This question even takes us to a group of people who carry the HIV virus and transmit it on purpose to other people, as a form of "revenge" for having acquired what's considered one of the greatest evils of humanity.

It Follows doesn't try to get viewers to jump out of their seats. Instead, employing the time-honored technique of the "slow build", it pressures fingernails to dig into arm rests.

It Follows has an impressively sustained sense of dread, less explicit gore than measured tension. Mitchell slyly inverts the conventions of dead-meat teenager flicks, although not with wink-wink comedy like the Scream series. This movie is serious about creeping out viewers, and Mitchell is just artistic enough about it to create a minor masterpiece.

It is filled with unsettling imagery and a paranoiac atmosphere, and has a wicked slant on the horror genre’s obsession with burgeoning sexuality. You’re not likely to shake it anytime soon.

It Follows worked like gangbusters as an exercise in atmosphere and allusion, but a little less so as an out-and-out supernatural horror, and only at certain times did it achieve a perfect synthesis of the two.

Mitchell's unwillingness to define the parameters of the specter haunting Jay leads to a finale that's muddled and confusing, and definitely not scary.

A Metacritic must see xD As soon as i saw the short description about the movie on Google, i had to check this out This is literally a STD demon movie, i still cannot believe that someone actually came up with this concept xD
They should make a part 2 with the Hodgetwins "Demon got **** me off"

It Follows is a pretty interesting film, although it did no really click with me. It is a pretty anti-coming of age film in the fact that something bad happens to Jay Height, played by Maika Monroe, and she can't escape it because it follows her. It is in some ways an allegory for STD's, but "it" is also the death snail always coming for you concept. The teens in the film make dumb decisions the entire film, and I really don't understand then ending. For some people though, this film just works.

Did I find this creepy? yes. Did I find this spooky? a little. Was I scared by it? no. Did it make me jump? no. Was it if but mildly atmospheric? yes. Were there some good if cliched camera pans used? yes.
Was there an unsettling music score used? yes. Is it ok? just about, yes. Is it good? not especially. Would I recommend it? not really.

Se você quer se assustar ou sentir algum medo: não veja o filme. Ignore a crítica, que o consagrou não por ser um terror, e sim pela abordagem. Abordagem essa que soa com as diversas metáforas que já falaram, mas esta tal abordagem assusta? Não. O filme está muito mais para drama do que para o terror.
