It Follows

I over-all liked the movie It Follows. I thought it was creative, and I thought that it was probably a very fun movie to make. I think it has a sort of unique kind of scariness, because you will always get these scenes where you can see someone walking up in the background and have often no idea whether it’s the monster or not. Very tense. I did come out of it having a lot of questions though, and although it’s probably unreasonable to want the movie to answer all of them, I do think it could have done a better job explaining it than it did. For example can it turn into any animal? Or just humans? A lot of the things it turns into are at least not entirely human, so there must be some issues there. Also, why did they not immediately realize that the best solution is just to have two people who could see the monster, and two people who couldn’t. What is their idea of sex? Could someone give It to someone else through gay sex? Who knows. One other way I felt is that they had sex scenes in all the wrong places. We knew from context when she and the boy slept together, but who knows whether she slept with those people on the boat?? That’s where the sex scene was needed. But, still I think it was a really fun movie, and I definetly did feel scared afterwards, even though I’ve never had sex. I give it 4 out of 5 virgins.
