Képzeld el, hogy követ valaki. Bárhol is vagy, és egyszer csak feléd sétál. Bármilyen alakot felvehet. Lehet egy régi ismerős, kedves, szeretett arc, vagy egy ijesztő alak, egy vadidegen. Nem fut feléd, nem is különösebben siet. Csak határozottan megy feléd, és ha utolér, meghalsz. Ha pedig rád ragad, a követés átkától egyféleképpen szabadulhatsz: ha szexuális együttlét során átadod valaki másnak. De ha az illető meghal, újra nagy bajban vagy. A 19 éves Jay pedig halálos veszéllyel néz szembe, amikor egy ártalmatlan egyéjszakás kalandot követően arra lesz figyelmes, hogy valami követi. Csak egyben biztos: menekülnie kell előle - az életéért. (Vertigo Média)

Két évtizednyi kedvenc műfajom egy adagban. A korai Carpenter intenzív zenéje és utcai steadycamjei, amelyek időnként giallo pszichedelizmusba húzódnak, itt a cselekmény logikájának és a karakterek hihető viselkedésének fenntartása mellett dolgoznak a rejtett horror titokzatos dimenziójával a lá modern A kör. Ráadásul a borzalmat a jóképű tinédzserek szexuális együttléte közvetíti, egy csinos, törékeny szőkeség vezetésével, és az itt nem öröm, hanem vétkes gyötrelem. Ehhez jönnek még a kísérteties Detroit sötét helyszínei. Csemege a műfaj kedvelőinek, amely az évtized eseménye lehetett volna, ha a történelmi irányzatok briliáns ötvözését egy új irányzat látomásos felvázolásával megkoronázta volna.

One of the weaker cinema visits this year. I didn't research anything about It Follows beforehand, I didn't even watch the trailer, so I had no expectations, but it's not a very scary horror experience, much less an orgasmic one. On the plus side, there is a fairly original theme and a decent soundtrack that is solidly thumping in places, but I can find a lot more minuses here. The biggest downside is the ending, which explains absolutely nothing, says absolutely nothing, it just pisses me off. Then there’s the visuals, the film literally looks like a Czech film, it has no visual or make-up effects, there’s only normal people – even the negative ones – only without clothes. Moreover, the landscape, the furniture, everything looks purely Czech, from which I deduced, that the film was not at all demanding to make, any skilled Czech director could have made a similar thing without any problem, probably only the soundtrack would not have been so impressive. The film is also quite long, in places it looks more like a drama, there are only about three good atmospheric scenes and to make matters worse, there is also the absence of jump scares. (only the scene in a swimming pool was a pleasure). An attempt to set a new direction, but for me rather unsuccessful. 55%

(49th KVIFF) I’m very happy after the screening at KVIFF. Seeing a good horror movie on a big screen, in a theatre full of people who, considering the circumnstances (the late hour and the booze), behaved well and weren’t a nuisance is not something you see very often. Objectively, I could complain about it being somewhat repetitive, most of the film consists of either how they try to catch the scary spirit or of how they go from one place to another, but these complaints are very well compensated by a premise that is original and entertaining for the genre, the likeable characters (finally, teenage protagonists in a horror movie that aren’t dull chess pieces, but nice young people, and you don’t want anything bad happening to them) and how effective it is overall – the opening sequence already gave me chills, and that feeling repeated itself during the entire 100 minute run. But what’s most valuable is that most of those scenes take place during the day. The climax at the swimming pool and the scene on the beach are some of the moments I will remember at the end of this film year. I was expecting something dirtier given the theme, and more sexually explicit, but It Follows is very lame in this aspect. As the producer said, in some sense it is actually a “pretty” film – the sun shines, the music is nice and the characters love each other. Only that they are followed by a horrifying spirit.

The film follows its inspirations quite flamboyantly, but it's also not afraid to go its own way. Therefore, the only thing that really comes to mind is why the adults in the story are glossed over with such vigor and why we don't know more about the gentleman in the photo - in that case, it would have been a decent crawl at the end and not just a flowing breast-stroke.

A sympathetic horror hipster that works quite well as a "coming of age" story about uncertainty, but worse as a genre piece. The attack attempts by ghosts in make-up are stupid and bring the film down. Although Mitchell has a good sense for visuals, the design (Detroit again) works best when it comes to working with tension and space, but it's not particularly inventive (the scene on the wheelchair is explicitly amateurish). I value the effort to update and the overlap, but the result is only slightly above average.
