Jay Height, a university student, has a sexual encounter with her new boyfriend, Hugh. However, she finds herself being followed by a malevolent force afterwards.
There’s one scene in this that terrifies me even now to bring it to mind. It plays so wonderfully on the fear sex as teenagers and it’s genuinely scary without resorting to lazy jump scares and tropes too much.
It follows is one of my favorite horror movies and ‘tis the season. The music and atmosphere of it follows are serious business that suck you into a world with no specific era, spotless vintage cars and old film & television from the 60’s while the set design and clothing feels very 90’s, also Yara’s clam e-reader fascinated me as the teens don’t use cellphones. Lots of homage to John Carpenter in this one (for Halloween and The Thing fans). It’s a nail biter folks, the panic is thick in the air from the start.
another found footage gem! this is such a slow burner and is great at unsettling you as a viewer through just cringey scenarios. i saw the twist in it coming from a mile away and it still managed to gag me.
