There is a definitely a creepy vibe throughout It Follows, and once you leave the theater you'll swear you're being followed, but the story and some of the decisions made in the film turned me off a bit. The visuals are incredible, well thought-out and perfectly executed. 360 degree shots and slow pans set a scary mood, and the color grade gives off an early 80's film vibe. Speaking of the 80s, the score is a brilliant mix of slasher style synthesized sound with a modern mix; very loud, very creepy.

The film felt slow, especially considering its rather short running time, dragging on like the creepy people following the main character in the film. The idea of death always following you, ever so slowly, yet still inevitably catching up with you, is always intriguing to me, whether in a zombie film or in this new take. Without much of anything else happening though, this film is just plain boring at times... But that's my take on it. It's still worth admiring for its creepy atmosphere and beautiful craftsmanship.
