#It follows me movie
Jump scares aren't inherently bad, but when a horror movie relies solely on jump scares and nothing else, then it gets ridiculous rather fast.
It's terrifying in a way that doesn't rely on any jump scares at all. But it's an engaging plot that is also legitimately terrifying at times.
You don't know the background behind "it." You don't know who started "it." Do you find out? I'm not going to tell you. The whole movie is shrouded in mystery and I loved that.
#It follows me serial
This wasn't a psychological horror movie like The Babadook, but it also wasn't just a serial killer or demon centered thrasher movie like many horrors are. First off is an interesting and engaging story. There's a lot of things that make this movie work and they all have to do with basic elements of film that most horror movies nowadays decide to completely ignore. "It" can take the form of any human being and thus if "it" is following you, you will be deathly afraid of any human being you see. You can pass "it" on, but if the person you passed "it" onto gets killed, "it" will go back to following you. "It" will slowly walk towards you until "it" catches you and "it" kills you. It's just "it." What does "it" do? Yup, you guessed it. Going around the town is something strange. The premise for this is actually mysterious and vague, which is the beauty of this. So let me take a second to tell you what this is all about without giving too much away. Instead of bombarding us with trailers and TV spots, they're going purely on word of mouth with this because, like I said, the plan for this wasn't to give it a wide release. If you're not a movie buff like myself, there's a good chance that you have never even heard of It Follows because it wasn't exactly advertised very much. While The Babadook restored my faith in the genre, It Follows proved that The Babadook wasn't a fluke. Thus when this small indie movie called It Follows was received with remarkable reviews, so much so that they decided to release it into over 1,000 theaters instead of sending it straight to VOD after its small release, I decided that I wanted to give it a shot. In fact, it gave me renewed hope that good horror movies can still be made. Last year the movie The Babadook was a horror movie that I gave a shot and absolutely loved. However, a well-done horror movie is something that I can definitely fall in love with, so I don't have anything against the genre in general. No sense or care for a decent plot or any logic whatsoever.
Jump scares galore usually accompanied with gruesome violence and/or gore to try to scare audiences. You know, dumb people played by terrible actors doing dumb things. The reason for this is that there are just so many terrible horror movies nowadays that all follow the same stupid horror cliches.
