i don't understand what was so good about "it follows."
it wasn't BAD, but why the big hype? i suspect it's kind of like "omg, horror movies are stupid but this one isn't! it has like, a theme, and metaphors and shit!"
and THAT's why the critics go nuts. same reason they went nuts for the babadook (which was actually scary.)
also, 6 months of hype and searching for a way to see "it follows" had me thinking it was gonna just blow my mind.
that happens.
what i LOVED about "it follows" was the whole eighties throwback aesthetic, ESPECIALLY the music, by this cat called Disasterpeace.
But horror movies don't NEED themes and metaphors. that's not why most of us watch them.
