'It Follows': 2/Lynch+4/Nostalgia+4/Blair Witch

Much ado, my friends. Just move along. The critics who gave it a red tamater must be under 30. You have seen this all before: A fully unexplained terror only the victim can see who cannot find any reasonable answer to the threat.

Did I say terror? I ain't afraid of no unknown boogie person who comes at me in the nude. Uh-uh. The film is one unending pregnant pause that depends on slow, if not static, scenes filled with either sparse tones or electronica reminiscent of the 80's. All done at well above normal soundtrack level. I suppose the sound track was to fill in for all the pregnancy.

It seems Jay got herself a date with a guy she thought was kind of cool. On the second date they go parking, have sex, and Jay ends up chloroformed and tied to a chair. Jake has somehow passed "IT" to Jay via copulation. Jake tells her to run from what she only sees and pass it to someone else. If IT catches her she will die. Most of the film is spent running away or languishing in bed or on sofa's afraid. Jay finally has sex with the neighborhood boy who has a long-term crush on her and we wait to see the result . . .

Obviously, I am less than enthusiastic about this work of art. High volume levels and some artsy composition do have a mild effect but not what they were shooting for I'm sure.

Oddly, this is a big screen movie. The only way you will come close to being "stimulated" is to experience this BIG. Viewing at home I think this wll get lost and be a terribly different film.

Now that I have polluted you opinions go buy the BD. 8^)
