It Follows

[rachMiel]

Yum ... looks really good. Anyone see it yet? (I'm planning on tonight.)

[Angra]

Good for you, girl. Good for you.

I can see how this would need a thread..::roll eyes::

[Ferox13]

Great film.

[BulimicFaerie]

I would like to see it, looks great! Have fun, let us know :)

[Giganticface]

I can't find anywhere that's showing it. I thought for sure it would be showing in San Francisco.

[ImmortalSlasher]

I want to see it. I heard about this one a while ago. It seems to be getting a lot of hype recently.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

Suppose to be great.. can't wait. : )

[RubyRose]

Has anyone else seen it yet? I've been looking forward to the wide release since November, I hope im not disappointed. It got compared to Cabin in the Woods which I loved.

[Damn Heathen]

You'll never look at pubic restrooms the same after.

[horcrux2007]

I'm gonna try to see it on Saturday! You don't know how excited I am to see it! I'm hoping it's good.

[RubyRose]

All I have to say is amazing, I have no other words- this could VERY well be the best horror film in 2015.
I don't want to spoil it but
1. The score was A+, I saved all of it on spotify
2. The acting was so great, I actually cared about these characters and could feel their despiration
3. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY
4. Fucking creepy and tense and actually spooky without using cheap jump scares

Overall, this movie was wild and I am looking forward to seeing it again

Im not a huge fan of pubic restrooms anyway ------^^^ Lol!::big grin::

[rachMiel]

Saw it.

Didn't do it for me, outside of a few scenes.

I'd be happy to discuss, but it's probably better to wait until more have seen it.

[Angra]

I'm pretty sure about 4 other people in here has seen it, so it seems to be the right time. Go nuts.

[rachMiel]

Okay, you axed for it! Spoilers in white:

I liked the atmosphere and premise (supernatural terminator) and acting and music and surrealistic atmosphere ... for a while. But at some point not too far in it became clear that these were not going to develop or go anywhere new. And it got tedious for me, predictable, uninteresting. Instead of being moved or surprised at the end, I was pissed off, felt I had been promised a journey but was taken on a ride nowhere.

In short, it committed for me one of the biggest no-no's of entertainment: It was boring.

[horcrux2007]

I'm going to see it tomorrow. Would you mind putting a spoiler-free review?

[rachMiel]

I think it's better for you to see it without hearing my take first. We can compare notes tomorrow after you've seen it.

Oh ok

[Damn Heathen]

A poser here is spreading a major misconception about the guy on the roof. There's a valid reason why he's there.

This monster could never compete with modern tech. Hence, the writer gives us a throwback film. Sure, it's overhyped, but worth the ticket, so get off your lazy agoraphobic ass and go see it.

[horcrux2007]

That was scary as hell.

[rachMiel]

:-)

[The Bloofer Lady]

I might have to come out of the 80's for this one!

That's not wut the wall there say.

[RubyRose]

Made a post about seeing this in upcoming movies!

I ADORED It follows, im seeing it again Friday. One of the best movies I've ever seen, and by far will be the best horror movie of the year.

I agree. I doubt any horror movie will beat it this year!

[fortunato]

Really keen to see this one. I've heard so many mixed reviews--basically everything from brilliant to bullshit. Gonna check it out this week now that it's had a national release.

[Gears-of-Warren]

Horror needed a movie like this to keep its legs after all the reamkes of late. I can see this "following" up with a sequel or two, which will probably re-start the sequel trend of every popular original movie.

DRM is smarter than that. If there is to be a sequel, he won't direct it.

[rachMiel]

It Follows seems to be one of those polarizing movies. There are those who loved it, those who really disliked it, and not a lot of in-between'ers. (I disliked it.)

I guess that's the risk filmmakers take when they do something different, thwart the conventions. They'll win over some moviegoers, lose others.

Beyond the Black Rainbow was another movie that was innovative and true to itself (i.e. didn't pander to genre expectations), but that I ended up not liking.

Tetsuo the Iron Man otoh was an insanely innovative movie that I loved!

Go ahead.

[Damn Heathen]

Go ahead.
Crimson Peak
Goosebumps
The Disappointments Room
Krampus
Tales of Halloween

[horcrux2007]

Crimson Peak
Goosebumps
The Disappointments Room
Krampus
Tales of Halloween

I can see Crimson Peak matching It Follows because that looks amazing, but Goosebumps? That's the best you can think of?

[Gears-of-Warren]

I think Goosebumps is outside your demographic. Lol It will clean up at the box office.

What do you mean "outside my demographic"?

R U talking to me or to El Numbnuts here? U bet that bump below your back that Goosebumps will destroy It Follows, both at the b.o. and at the game of horror.

[RubyRose]

The soundtrack just got released for pre-order on vinyl 😍

[Vig]

So what exactly is this film about? I recently haven't heard about it until a couple of weeks ago. Looks creepy as shit.

After having sex with her boyfriend a girl named Jay is followed by some supernatural force that will kill her if it catches her.

[Vig]

So it's about herpes?

[horcrux2007]

well it's about std's (sexually transmitted demons)

It doesnt tell the origin of It but their is no possession taking place. Actually the story would be more interesting if it were.

shhhhhh :P

The director kinda talked about this in an interview, it's supposed to feel like these kids are living in a nightmare. He didn't want the thing to be explained or wrapped up.

.................




















One of the kids wrapped It up in a sheet at one point to track it.

[Damn Heathen]

Yes, they wrapped it in a sheet, and a lot of good that did. Oddly, they chose not to cover its naked forms, so we had to see some old guy's junk.

I wish this movie had used fog as well as water. The fog couldve covered the guys junk and the ladys bush and nipples.

Do you know what I wish? I wish you'd not use the word "bush" in this thread.

Thank you!

I will if you stop talking about "junk". ::roll eyes::

I like how Jay sorta becomes an It by stalking others the way that It stalks her.

[MichaelMyers92]

I just watched this tonight. Phenomenal film. I highly suggest it, especially if you're a fan of any 80s horror movies. This movie has a great plot and a very eery soundtrack. It comes out July 3rd. I hope you all get a chance to watch it

[sfear]

I was wondering about this film. It's slated to play at the local art house cinema and they hardly ever show horror films unless it's a cult film like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers or some such.
