I need more people on here to watch It Follows and discuss it with me. I could discuss on the IMDB boards, but I have a higher opinion of the people on here. That might not stop me from discussing it on IMDB anyway.
Anyway, I saw this movie 3 days ago, and I think it's set in enough for me to say I really like it. I enjoyed it after my initial viewing, which is nice, but it stayed with me, which is better.
I recommend the movie, but I warn people that it's slow and ponderous. The six negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes mostly addressed the pace and disjunction (one went on a tirade about misogyny). Despite the negative points, each of those critics admits that the film was beautifully shot, so it's not like they trashed the movie (save the misogyny one).
If you didn't see the commercials, go on in with a clean slate. I had no idea about the premise, so I went in with complete ignorance. It was nice to be surprised like that. The opening scene was baffling to me. Why was the girl dressed like that? Why did she move like that? Those questions actually tugged at me more than the obvious question of what happened to her. And that scene makes more sense as you understand the rules of the movie.
Has anyone else here seen it? I often talk to brick walls, but I do prefer to go back and forth.
