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 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. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider Its meticulous directorial vision and thematic ambition are what make it a modern masterwork. Once you see It Follows it will follow you forever. Oct 13, 2023 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Edward V On surface level, this movie is about a monster invisible to everyone but you that follows you on foot incessantly until it either kills you or you pass it on through sex. But when you take a closer look, this movie has so many layers of depth that it's worth just sitting for a bit and thinking about the many ways this movie could be interpreted. For me, it is metaphor for regret, shame, and guilt after sex and how that can haunt you and manifest itself in anyone, from strangers to loved ones. If this movie is just taken as face value, I would say it's decent at best, but when one includes the thematical elements, possible metaphors, and dope soundtrack by Disasterpiece, it turns into a movie that I would highly recommend to every fan of horror out there. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Andrew M Waste of an hour and 40 minutes. Absolutely nothing happens. DO NOT WATCH THIS HORRIBLE FUCKING MOVIE!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Sumona A The story of this movie is really stupid & boring. If you watch proper horror movie like babadook, smile, conjuring, sinister than this movie is nothing literally the whole movie is about sex & random naked people who is demon is follows the girl. It's like being a virgin is ultimate power of this movie. The main lead girl character is so stupid & annoying. Whole movie is pointless. I don't prefer this movie to anyone. Don't waste your time. They didn't even clear the ending. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Derek M If you value your time at all, please do not watch this movie it's extremely stupid!!! I didn't find one thing scary about it! You want to see something scary watch Smile or watch Drag me to hell! This is the first review I've ever written and I just felt compelled to let you folks know this is not worth watching and I just rented it LOL Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Audience Member WORST MOVIE EVER!!
