Cinema Bytes Review | It Follows
David Robert Mitchell’s “It Follows” is one of the most remarkable horror films in years. It never relies on jump scares or gore to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Instead it relies on fear. It preys on your fear of the unknown and assumes that you’re anticipating something sinister to happen. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. The film assumes you’re smart enough to be aware of the all the surroundings on the screen. Keep watch in the background, not for an eerie bloody hand emerging from the darkness, but for a figure approaching from over a hundred yards away. We see it, they don’t, and we’re frightened for them.
