2.5/5
I appreciate that Mitchell wanted to make this more existentially dreadful and not confine himself and his characters to working within a set of rules, but... there’s ambiguity, and there’s simply being vague. Go to Full Review Lenika Cruz The Atlantic 01/21/2016
It Follows represents a compelling evolution in how studios and audiences can (and should) conceive of its monsters. Go to Full Review Liz Braun Toronto Sun 12/30/2015
3/5
No question that the storytelling here is impressive; the story itself, however, is a bit thin. Go to Full Review David Day Horror Movie Talk Sep 18
10/10
It Follows feels like a new thing in horror. It feels like a movement toward the conceptual idea of what drives horror. Strip down the overburdened tropes and monsters that make up what horror was for decades, and leave just the essentials. Go to Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine 05/11/2025
3.5/5
It's not a bad film at all, and I appreciate that it feels so original and unconventional. But at the same time, I think it has too many unfulfilling moments to fully recommend it. [Full review in Spanish]. Go to Full Review Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite 07/09/2024
4.5/5
Filled to the brim with technical and narrative mastery, David Robert Mitchell’s sophomore feature “It Follows” screams success, both as a horror film and an art form with a voice. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

J H @UpstateNYThriller Jul 22 6.5/10 Curse follows people after they have sex Strange type movie See more J L. @RipleysGhost Jul 21 The greatest modern horror movie. See more Spooky M @spooktober Jul 14 Love the music. Unsettling dream scape. Also it’s a Michigan movie so I’m bias. See more Christopher S @MrRedband Jul 13 This movie is a fun, unique take on coming of age horror. It has a very strong and compelling story and a distinctively unique plot. The actors did an amazing job as well. And its scary as hell to boot. A modern horror masterpiece. See more john M @MooseTang Jul 8 A solid horror flick with a somewhat original premise.
