Critics Consensus

Smart, original, and above all terrifying, It Follows is the rare modern horror film that works on multiple levels -- and leaves a lingering sting.

Lenika Cruz The Atlantic It Follows represents a compelling evolution in how studios and audiences can (and should) conceive of its monsters. Jan 21, 2016 Full Review Liz Braun Toronto Sun No question that the storytelling here is impressive; the story itself, however, is a bit thin. Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2015 Full Review Emily St. James Vox This is a movie you need to see right now. Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 2, 2015 Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk It Follows feels like a new thing in horror. It feels like a movement toward the conceptual idea of what drives horror. Strip down the overburdened tropes and monsters that make up what horror was for decades, and leave just the essentials. Rated: 10/10 Sep 18, 2025 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine It's not a bad film at all, and I appreciate that it feels so original and unconventional. But at the same time, I think it has too many unfulfilling moments to fully recommend it. [Full review in Spanish]. Rated: 3.5/5 May 11, 2025 Full Review Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite Filled to the brim with technical and narrative mastery, David Robert Mitchell’s sophomore feature “It Follows” screams success, both as a horror film and an art form with a voice.

Maria A Tatanga amputa. Putanginang movie to walang silbe. Mga kingina niyo pakyu letcheng movie to, ano to sinayang niyo lang isat kalahating oras namen, nagpuyat pa kami mga bobo. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Dantez G. I want to do half a star but it won’t let me - this is arguably the worst movie I’ve ever seen, I am so stunned by the amount of good reviews given to this movie. You wait for it to get good, and it just doesn’t. It’s repetitive, poor, and flat out boring. No worthy scares in this movie and it doesn’t deliver one bit. Don’t watch if you value your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Kyle C If you can get past the flat characters, awkward cinematography and slow pacing, it's actually a really awful movie. The plot has few scary moments, plenty of nonsensical ones, and the plot has less than no interest in justifying itself. There's no climax, no wit, and nothing that makes you think, (unless that thought is "what were the writers thinking?") Also… water is apparently important for some reason? Would love to know why. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Steven t Excellent movie with great performances. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review Matthew H. Solid, slow burn horror flick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/25 Full Review jon M. One of my favorite long takes in horror to start this one off. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
