(POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT): not gonna lie, i really dug this movie despite the ridiculous premise. maybe having sex wasn't the best way to 'pass along' a stalking evil spirit that changes shape and no one else can see, but the results were pretty chilling. i kept thinking It Follows was just an allegory for STDs. bonus points for straight copying john carpenter style music and shot selection, that really helps tie the room together. but i guess if It Follows is over-hyped, it's probably because a lot of people didn't mind it being a hot mess of a story. shooting a ghost? what? the end was the opposite of an ending, just like they ran out of film. it made me laugh out loud. now they're talking about a sequel? i'd watch it too. 8 ghastly spirits coming to hump you to death but not walking too fast behind you out of 10.
