It was incredible mediocre BUT its success made possible for the director to make Under the Silver Lake, so I approve its existence.
He's doing a sequel now named "They Follow" so hope it improved the concept now with more budget
they/them follow
>Movie starts with infected woman who found out too late
>Convoluted circumstances means she misses her original target for infection
>Time is running out and there is no one in sight
>A wild chud appears
>She reluctantly decides to infect the manlet
>Chud has to pass it on, somehow
Now this would up the stakes
What the frick are you talking about misses her target?
She successful fricks are target. But no one takes her seriously.
The chud doesn't have to pass it on
That's the fricking point
They both just have to live with it
Like aids
>The chud doesn't have to pass it on
Is not the point that if you don't frick someone in x amount of time it will kill you?
Did you watch the movie?
What the frick do you think the final scene is?
Her walking the dork to go get pussy?
It's them accepting their potential deaths
what would happen if it was given to a user of this site?
he's not going to be able to go out and find a willing female.
that's what miss marvel told me
>They both just have to live with the curse of a ghost that inevitably kills you and then goes off to kill the next person in the frickchain
Actually functionally moronic.
hopefully the soundtrack is "I I follow you, you follow me" on a loop
Autistic puzzle game masquerading as a movie.
It was a great movie, frick off. There's too much utter shit out there nowadays to go and attack one of the few bright spots in horror over the past 10 years.
It Follows being mediocred doesn't affect the fact that horror movies are utter shit nowdays. In fact, calling it mediocre is a compliment taking that in mind.
No the invisible monster shit was stupid. It's always stupid.
>getting autistic about "muh tropes"
>not just watching the movie
cool
It's just as moronic as that terminator throwing John Connor around, which also happens in this flick.
You're too right dude. How unrealistic! Some other crazy things these kinds of movies want us to believe
>ghosts are real
>monsters are real
>zombies are real
Completely lost me there. Horror is positively ridiculous!
Please, it was totally limpdick shit. What even was the kill count in it, one?
>INVISIBLE STD MONSTER WAS GREAT!!
Simple, it's paced well. There's no excruciating unnecessary character development, nor frantic action that oversaturates. There were no egregious visual or audible mistakes, nothing to interrupt the smooth experience of watching. Only the end battle was extra cliche, but it got through without offending the viewer. Compare that to a marvel movie or sony spiderman, it's no contest.
When every other horror movie was either paranormal activity or the conjuring
When every non horror was a comic book movie
A mediocre followed through conceptual horror movie goes from a 6/10 to a 9
>I watched a movie outside of the cultural zeitgeist it captured
>how come it doesn't feel right
it started very strong but went to shit fast
is that tony hawk
wonder what he's up to
Bone chilling slow burn shit was obviously shilled very forcefully. You know no real people were holding any of this movement up as good except for mindcucked Redditors.
There was a big coordinated movement to undermine traditional horror through the 10s. It follows is prime example of the woke inclusive basedflicks that are artificially praised as a weapon against good honest horror.
There's not a single minority in this flick you mindbroken moron.
I praise it for she
This and The Guest made her my waifu. She was also pretty good in Watcher.
>great atmosphere
>great music
>best idea for monster horror in forever
Only thing I wasn't crazy about was some of the character's
>What if le bawd shaming could le kill you
>Good idea
Cringe
The idea of something slowly walking evey second until it catches up to you is creepy imo. It never runs or sprints. Looking forward to the sequel.
Would maybe be enjoyable if they didn't make it some lame political statement.
You think STDs are a political statement?
She's gets a literal sexual transmitted ghost
You're the Black person making it about guilt it whatever
The monster is a metaphor for STDs, you /misc/tard. Go back to your virginity containment zone.
The "STD metaphor" take feels kind of surface level to me, because there's a lot more going on than just that. Sure the curse is transmitted through sex and its something you just have to deal with before it inevitably kills you (which really cant be said for really any STD but HIV, amd even then not so much these days), but it also requires you to constantly sacrifice other people to survive, and even people you willingly bring into it (like the friend at the end) have to do likewise. The metaphor kind of falls apart there.
It's crazy how normies have to come up with these convoluted solutions in order to frick someone who is infected. Instead of just not having sex, they have to coom and be chased for the rest of their lives.
the movie isn't really about sex, it's about guilt
but going with the logic of the movie, people would rather deal with being killed than renouncing sex lmao
there was a really big push in 2010s to turn horror into a "respected" genre and it feels more absurd each day
Blumchads will always laugh last
I heard there was a mom/son incest scene, is this true? Why does nobody talk about it
Because it’s not one, the monster takes the form of his mother naked and kills him. You see a glimpse of it on top of him, presumably it fricked/crushed him to death
something something 3 second cuts
There hasn't been a single great horror movie made since the 2000s
It was the start of ~~*hollywood*~~ trying to get the horror audience into the mainstream and start producing billion dollar horror fad movies. It Follows fits the same A24 mold, a gimmick monster that is actually an analogy for something else, the clean sterile look of the movie, the shitty actors you get off craigslist with wooden acting and camera just filming them looking into the distance, the obligatory subversion of expectations where it goes from an attempt at a horror movie to a pretentious homosexual movie where the monster is discarded or made into a joke
This trash was in production around the same time as The Babadook. After this trash paved the way they released all A24 shitty movies, the shitty Jordan Peele race bait movies, Stranger Things, the shitty IT remake, Sinister. There is a huge oversaturation of these kinds of nuhorror movies that are just lame.
Just google search 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 horror and look at the shit that they pumped out. Take one look at this shit and it's all pretentious It Follows type of garbage.
You've never seen a Jordan Peele movie, moron.
Every one of them is just 2 hours of "white people are bad, give me reparations on my patreon" and then critics praise it because they support black takeover.
When you talk about shit you know nothing about you end up looking like a moron. Grow up.
no, he's right, you're wrong and tnd is the only way to clean the planet
It Swallows
It didn't use jump scares. It was a slow burn and always kept audiences tensed up.
The curse is like playing a life-long game of tag. Like the guy who passed it onto the main girl said, you have to always be on your guard, never be trapped in a place without several exits. The temporary apartment he was in had bottles and other noisemakers to alert him if the thing was entering the house.
You can take a flight and frick as many people to try and put yourself down on the chain and then keep globe-trotting, but at some point, it'll catch up to you. And you'll always be looking over your shoulder.
What I don't get is, what would've happened if the entity had attacked him in plain-view in front of all those witnesses in the theater?
I tried watching it and fell asleep pretty quick. Therefore it's shit.
Legit top five jump scares. No cap.
saw it in the cinema 7-8 years ago. first half was good, especially as I'd never heard of it before.
second half was repetitive.
it was fine as a low budget horror, and did feel fresh in concept
Its honestly a bit creepy to think the killer monster might be in the fricking background to the point that you might not even realise it is there until it is close.
Almost all the time when the director wants to put the monster around they practically show it to the audience to let you know its around and about to do something, or at least stalking someone.
In It Follows, you only know its there when its to fricking close, or walking towards the group in a desolate area. Otherwise its always on the background, and always making a bee line for the target.
I don't get it, it's just a tall guy with funny alien eyes. He doesn't even do anything.
