More than a few critics included the thriller It Follows on their year’s best list…some saying it was one of the great scary films of all time.
Even with that ringing endorsement, I waited to watch the film until it was free on cable, and on early enough that I could shake off any creepiness long before bedtime.
Hey, I live alone.
I like the fact that it began in the middle – – no long exposition, so you are spooked from the start. There are plenty of reasons to jump and scream, but no gore which I personally appreciate. And the movie doesn’t tie everything up with a bow at the end, which increases the spook factor.
Is it the scariest movie I have ever seen? No. But it’s a good ‘un.
What IS the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?
The Town that Dreaded Sundown, based on a true story. Gruesome. I think I blogged about it.
“Jaws” is still it for me. I defy anyone to go in the ocean and not think about it at least once….
