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.

It Follows represents a compelling evolution in how studios and audiences can (and should) conceive of its monsters. Go to Full Review Liz Braun Toronto Sun 12/30/2015

No question that the storytelling here is impressive; the story itself, however, is a bit thin. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 12/02/2015

10/10
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. Go to Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine May 11
3.5/5
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]. Go to Full Review Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite 07/09/2024
4.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Andrea C Nov 23 A very suspenceful and romantic horror movie. The premise is brilliant, and the whole movie lives up to it with great characters and ambience. One of the best horror movies of the 21st century yet. See more Maria A Nov 12 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. See more Dantez G. @dantez Nov 9 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. See more Kyle C Nov 9 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. See more Steven t Nov 8 Excellent movie with great performances. See more Matthew H. @MatthewHarris Oct 30 Solid, slow burn horror flick. See more Read all reviews
