Recommandations

The Telegraph
Despite borrowing cleverly from the best, It Follows still manages to feel like no other example in recent years - tender, remarkably ingenious and scalp-pricklingly scary. - 100
Time Out London
It’s impossible adequately to describe the haunting intensity of It Follows: this is a film that makes a virtue of silence, that lives in the shadowy spaces between the splattery kill scenes that punctuate your average stalk-and-slasher. - 100
Total Film
A horror film that will haunt your waking hours for weeks. Every frame of It Follows is stamped with nameless dread. - 100
CineVue
Its thematic textures run deep, but the picture retains real visceral force. - 83
IndieWire
No matter its conceptual intentions, It Follows never ventures too far from visceral horror. Mitchell populates a number of scenes with well-timed jump scares as the being frequently bursts out of the shadows or appears in unexpected forms, while the score provides a screaming punctuation mark. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Creepy, suspenseful and sustained, this skillfully made lo-fi horror movie plays knowingly with genre tropes and yet never winks at the audience, giving it a refreshing face-value earnestness that makes it all the more gripping. - 80
Empire
A first-rate horror movie, It Follows adds a new monster to the pantheon expect pranksters to imitate the Follower for cheap shocks soon — and has a refreshing, unpretentious sense that a meaningful subtext doesn’t undercut spookiness. - 75
Hitfix
At its best, the film has moments that are creepy and that work on some strange primal level.
