It Follows

About This Movie

It Follows really nails this eerie, unnerving vibe. The whole idea of being stalked by an unseen force feels fresh and deeply unsettling. The cinematography is something else—those long takes create this tension that just hangs in the air. Plus, the practical effects have a rawness that enhances the horror. You see a lot of films that rely on jump scares, but this one creeps under your skin instead. The performances are solid, especially Maika Monroe; she brings a real vulnerability. And the score? That synth-heavy soundtrack does wonders to build the atmosphere. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, making you look over your shoulder long after it’s over.
