Could skirt by on its slick aesthetics alone, but by injecting genuinely frightening sequences and allegorical fears faced by teenagers make for something both fresh and familiar.

Mitchell’s attention to detail with his writing and directing, coupled with a memorable and orgasmic score from Disasterpiece puts It Follows right up there as... one of the most impactful and unforgettable horrors of all time.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 11, 2023

A tonic to the spate of “found footage” and shaky-cam horror films... this is a carefully designed film that recalls the visual control of John Carpenter’s early horror films, especially the way it tracks movement within carefully composed shots.

There are some truly arresting visuals including some particularly striking uses of perspective. But it’s the story between the images that unfortunately doesn’t hold up.

One would wonder plot-wise if one of the victims just performed what the Oxford Dictionary describes as “self-abuse,” that could be considered taking one for the team and end the curse entirely.

"By excluding grown ups from the narrative, 'It Follows' highlights the perseverance of young adults and their reliance on each other for a shared vision."

David Robert Mitchell has made such a superb horror film that its clinging aftereffect continues for an uncommonly long period.

A hidden gem well worth tracking down for a pre-Halloween shock to the system.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 22, 2021

It may be a silly premise, but Mitchell uses it to the best effect.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2021

Capturing anxiety in a way that no other film has, It Follows is a modern horror masterpiece.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 13, 2021

A methodical, unnerving and surprisingly mean thriller. Mitchell perfectly frames and moves the camera to emphasize how vulnerable his characters are and, in so doing, maximizes the existential dread.

The way it was shot was just flawless.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 1, 2021

Full Review | Mar 5, 2021

It's a scary film through and through, but it's the dual horror of teenage boredom and ennui coupled with a strange and terrifying supernatural virus that is transmitted sexually.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 2, 2021

A really worthwhile and atmospheric independent horror film.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 11, 2020

The sophistication and patience Mitchell exhibits shows a maturity we desperately need more of. He understands the enjoyment of horror is not just in the climax, but also in the foreplay.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Jul 16, 2020

It Follows is exactly the type of film that the word "chiller" was created to describe. Once you see it, your spine will never be the same.
