10 Amazing Films That Get Better The More You Think About Them
6. It Follows
It Follows stands as one of the most thought provoking and intelligent horror films in recent memory.
After a date gone horribly wrong, a young woman finds herself pursued by what can only be described as a demonic STD. Now, it's up to her and her friends to find a way to end this curse before it ends her.
This is an incredible movie in every way, from its score and cinematography to its characters and plot, it fires full blast on all cylinders. It's an absolute masterpiece if there ever was one, but what people don't give it nearly enough credit for are themes hiding beneath all the horror.
What exactly is It? What does It represent? The end of innocence? The looming specter of adulthood? Fate? Death? Trauma? All of or none of the above? It's in its thematic depth that makes the movie such an affecting, powerful horror film. The more you contemplate it, the deeper and deeper the film reveals itself to be.
Both smart and spooky, It Follows is as close to perfect as a movie can get.
