IT FOLLOWS-A Horror Movie-Chills with Added Thrills

IT FOLLOWS is of the horror film genre.  It certainly provides terror, tension & ominous harbingers of bumps in the night.  It manages to frighten because the story provides credibility.  Jay (Maika Monroe a Kaley Cuoco doppelgänger) convinces her sister & her friends of the ubiquitous demons pursuing her.  You Follow?  The premise is a good one.  After having sex with someone already cursed (right…like vampires or VD) that person will be hunted by zombies (some more sexually provocative than others.)   Jay has consensual sex with a guy who then chloroforms her & ties her to a chair in a desolate structure as a courtesy, to explain she can only banish the curse by passing it onto someone else by having sex with that person.  Or, she will be killed by the creepy crawly walking dead.  Are you still with me?  The Amer. dir./screenwriter David Mitchell has his pulse on something truly terrifying.  The entire cast of unknowns are perfect in their roles as friends trying to help Jay with her nightmare & sexual dilemma.  Should she or shouldn't she have sex to save herself but sacrifice someone else; sort of like herpes.  Mithcell has created a sophisticated & visually stunning film that captures the look of middle class suburbia in the 80's (a dark epoch before cell phones) and spooky autumnal twilights.  IT FOLLOWS offers more than your classic horror flick, it's a film about friendship & sexual awakenings.  In addition, it is a mystery, pscycho thriller which dabbles in porno.  I completely followed along with the film from its scary start.  There's a heart to this film that grabs you.  It also keeps your pulse racing.  Mitchell's film career is one to follow.
