Critics Consensus

Smart, original, and above all terrifying, It Follows is the rare modern horror film that works on multiple levels -- and leaves a lingering sting.

It Follows represents a compelling evolution in how studios and audiences can (and should) conceive of its monsters.

No question that the storytelling here is impressive; the story itself, however, is a bit thin.

Rated: 3/5

Its meticulous directorial vision and thematic ambition are what make it a modern masterwork. Once you see It Follows it will follow you forever.

Could skirt by on its slick aesthetics alone, but by injecting genuinely frightening sequences and allegorical fears faced by teenagers make for something both fresh and familiar.

It doesn't offer many answers to the myriad of questions it raises, but it's undeniably scary.

It's the ultimate STD ..you think ,and there the originality ends. Dreadful piece made the music apparently. Very apt. 'Horror scenes ' are, but not in way intended. Almost laughable, if they weren't so awful. At least audience reviews give a clearer perspective. Unlike 'Experts ' ...96%!?

Subtly scary with the nondescript Mid-Western setting adding to the ominous vibe. The way the friendship group did not have a lot to do emphasized the waiting for the curse, highlighting both the empty time and space, the quietness that can only be filled by a juxtaposing attack. It seems their lives were mundane but not unfulfilling before the curse, with the irony being that they dreamed for more excitement and adrenaline. The film is psychologically jarring without using cringe tactics, although the cast are teens it does not use cliche jumpscares or exaggerated fear, making it all the more scary. I'm sure gender and socio-economic backgrounds tie into this as I know in the US there are often politics surrounding virginity and purity, so this film is a direct reflection of the worries in that genre.

Extremely overrated crap. Different people walking after you was a dumb idea and not scary at all. Hey critics find another job my goodness

It's an inventive concept for sure, but with a plethora of plot holes and some rather inconsistent pacing, the movie ultimately presents as a great foundation for a horror franchise that stumbles on delivery.
