Thoughts:
As a fan of IT FOLLOWS, I was very much looking forward to this. Although the film draws you in, it tries to be too clever (and strange) for its own good – much like SOUTHLAND TALES, Richard Kelly’s follow up to the brilliant DONNIE DARKO.
All the twists and turns and strangeness ultimately take you out of the film and leave you wondering what could have been.
Rating:
5/10
