It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't give up. It follows. Whereby it doesn't follow everyone, but only one person at a time - and that person is Jay right now. It follows her because she slept with Hugh. She got infected from him. It's a sexually transmitted curse that you can only get rid of if you pass it on to another person. After all, Hugh was kind enough to tell Jay about the curse after sex: It can take the form of people you know and people you don't know, only you can see it, it doesn't run, but it moves towards you with determination - and if it does you get hold of, then you're dead.
It Follows is the second feature film by American director David Robert Mitchell, whose debut The Myth of the American Sleepover was released five years ago. The low-budget production told about the summer of a group of teenagers in the endless suburbs of Detroit, their worries and troubles, their search for love. "It Follows" is like the nightmarish unofficial sequel. A coming-of-age drama in which not only growing up gets on the fur of the characters. But Mitchell takes his time. He sets the tone with the first scene, shot almost braggingly perfectly in a single pan. At dawn, a girl runs in panic into the street, then back into her parents' house, only to storm out the door a few seconds later, get into the car and race away from the invisible danger with screeching tires.
Like only John Hughes and Larry Clark, Mitchell has the rare talent to portray teenagers believably as teenagers, but he also manages to create suspense with images in which not much is happening. The camera is constantly scanning the surroundings, maybe focusing on a person in the background, so that the viewer is constantly wondering whether it's just a harmless passer-by or the clinging demon. Which is not to say that the horror would be manageable. «It Follows» is almost nerve-wracking for long stretches. Jay is aiming for a nervous breakdown, which is perfectly underlined by Disasterpeace's fantastic soundtrack, which is also clearly based on John Carpenter. What can you do? Where to flee to? What's the solution?

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
