It Follows Review: Frightening and Refreshing

The world of horror is full of all kinds of scares. Some films deal with ghosts and hauntings; while have deranged killers stalking teenagers. However there are times where this genre can be daunting to watch because so many movies follows the same formula; and it seems to be getting harder and harder for horror movies to stand out from one another. Yet filmmakers attempt to bring some quality to this aged genre. The latest film to enter this genre is an independent horror film by the name of It Follows. The movie has received some good press when it started with its debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014. Since then, the film has received praise from a number of critics; but could this horror flick impress this Film Adventurer?

The tale of It Follows surrounds a young girl named Jay. Proceeding a date with a mysterious boy named Hugh, Jay is abducted by Hugh where he reveals his true intention. It turns out that something has been following Hugh and the only way for this mysterious being to pass him is if he has sex with another person; which he did with Jay. Now Jay finds herself being hunted down by a creature who takes any form and is only visible to her. With the help of her friends, Jay tries to evade this entity; however no matter what she does or where she goes, it follows.

Film Ventures: It Follows

This week on Film Ventures, I had a freebie week. Seeing that were few major releases this week, I decided to check out the independent horror film It Follows. I have seen advertisement for this movie featured at several theaters, and did catch few clips on the movie. So I decided to give this horror film a shot; plus it was either this or The Longest Ride. In any case here is my initial reaction to It Follows. My official review of the film should be up within the next few days.
