It Follows

Okay Kiddies there are in fact some perks to being sexually anorexic and that is not dealing with the drama that usually follows the act itself.  There is the main area which is having unplanned children and if you are in a relationship that is a whole other area to work on and whole It can be nice to have a partner there has been known to have a few complications.

Then there is the usual pitfalls of casual nookie. If it is someone that you see everyday then that makes things awkward especially for where you work and there is the situation where your parter may want to be in a relationship and you don't. Then there is the friends with benefits which is a whole other issue. 

In a Horror Film sex usually has more deadly complications. In a Slasher film sex usually ends in death at the hands of a deranged killer...usually wearing a hockey mask. There is also again child bearing that can often end up as giving birth to the Anti-Christ...If you are Lucky. 

Then there is when you hook up with that someone that is cursed and as a result of the hook-up you you then inherit the curse and must pass it on to someone else. 

That is what brings us to It Follows, The new film that is making all the rage on the Horror Scene. 

It Follows tells the story of Jay (Miaka Monroe) who is dating Hugh and despite his strange behavior soon consummates her relationship and is suddenly attacked by him and taken to a strange location where she is informed that there is a shapeshifting creature that will keep coming for her where ever she goes and when it finally catches up to her it will kill he, ooh and the only way that she can she can stop it is to quickly have sex with another person and pass on the curse to them. That is until she kills that person and then targets them again. 

Soon Jay's friends are pulled into this madness and despite the fact that they aren't targets of the monster's wrath they must stop the entity and save their friend. 

Now this is an interesting entity. You first off think that the creature is a ghost but it seems to be just invisible however naturally there are scenes where the entity attacks it's victims but the Entity can be attacked as well and be physically hurt and injured but seems to always make a recovery at an inhuman speed. 

It also can only walk at the same pace and that is it's only means of travel which is why characters often travel long distances in order to avoid the Entity however it always arrives eventually and that is one of the more frightening elements of this antagonist. 

I have to admit that I was pleasantly impressed by the lack of special effects in the film and instead it's use of lighting camera work and editing to provide the scares in the film. 

There is a couple of effects in the film for the entity's attacks. The scenes where the Entity is seen following the characters do add to the flick especially in the scenes where it's not the entity following and It's choices of characters to shift into. 

The story in the flick isn't bad despite a few plotholes and there are times where you find yourself thinking why don't they take the more logical approach to this situation and then you have to remind yourself that this is a Horror Movie where characters have to make the wrong decisions in order to move the film forward and advance the story.

Despite these flaws it's definitely a good flick to watch and has some good scares. Fans of the Ring as well as the recent supernatural films will enjoy this film.
