I don't really understand the hype about this movie. The basic concept of the story is good, and there are some scary scenes, but this is clearly not a good movie. It's just so empty and boring. There is no real tension, except 2 short scenes. It is also very bold that it's a low budget movie, the acting is not authentic. I think this movie is a missed opportunity because with some changes it could have been a lot better.

Absolutely terrible and not in the least bit scary apart from the old bloke with his balls out

I thought this would be a good horror movie because it had a lot of great reviews saying that true horror fans would love it. I consider myself to be a pretty big horror fan but I didn't not love this movie. The whole premise is creative and original but they didn't really pull it off. It wasn't a terrible movie but in terms of being a horror movie, it is definitely not good. Spoilers coming...First of all, it wasn't even scary. Pretty sure that's the point of a horror movie. Maybe they weren't going for surprises that get people to jump out of their seats, but a good horror movie will have people dying of anticipation for several minutes straight, at least somewhere near the end. This movie was not scary in the slightest except for some of the acting (Maika Monroe was good though). The idea of a sexually transmitted curse or whatever is very interesting and original but some things about "it" are just stupid. I don't mind the walking. Some of the greatest horror movie villains walk (Michael Myers). But if you can drive away to buy some time, couldn't you fly to Hawaii and never have to worry about it again? Also it apparently can take the form of someone you love but they failed to capitalize on that by having it do that early when the main character doesn't believe in what's happening yet and potentially having a close call with death. The only times it does this are basically pointless to the story. I don't understand why they tried to kill it at the pool. Didn't she shoot it in the neck or head at the lake? And it just got right back up. Overall, not an awful movie, but it was an awful horror movie. I'll give it three stars just for the creativity.

I have no idea why I sat through this one. Not scary. Not interesting. Probably some kind of metaphor for how wrong teenage sex is, which just makes it even more idiotic than it already is.
Features the most boring group of teenagers ever to exist, played by the most boring group of teenager actors ever to exist. Everyone speaks in monotone and generally looks like they are sleepwalking in every scene.
Let's talk about the monster (monster? ghost? demon?). The concept is cool and almost scary until you realize he (she? it?) is pointless just like the entire movie. At least It Follows, right? Well, sometimes it does, most of the times it simply does not. Does not stop the camera from filming some empty place where the monster is SUPPOSED to be, but sadly it is slow af so it probably can't make it there for another half an our (actual screentime, not "movie time" half an our). Thinking about it, the only reason it is remotely dangerous because our sleepwalking lead never takes any precaution to avoid it. Aside from trying to sleep with every man in the movie just to pass it on. Even so, this movie makes sex look like a tragedy, but in reality it is the movie itself.
