It Follows
August 2, 2015
Don’t watch a lot of horror films, but I really enjoyed this one. The background person in the distance walking slowly works really fucking well, it’s disturbing beyond the normal jump scares. I think it’s fair to call this an indie horror film, I can see it being an allegory for the dangers of STDs. But I think that interpretation cheapens the film, it doesn’t ascribe a heavy handed message like that, it’s much more nuanced. It doesn’t use horror for a message, rather it’s horror for horror’s sake.
