The quick blur at the top or the side of the screen could be something or nothing. And its old-fashioned handmade quality and lack of computer-generated effects is a big part of its appeal. I identified this as an indie horror movie. And in this case, there's that added excruciating moral dilemma - that to keep from dying, Jay will have to seduce someone and pass along the curse or whatever it is, but also tell that person what he's in for because if he dies, she's on the hook again. The idea has certainly powered many a horror picture, some even good. It can look like anyone, but there's only one of it.Д®DELSTEIN: It's possible that the young writer-director, David Robert Mitchell, is serving up nothing more complex than a cautionary tale with a standard reactionary moral - you have casual sex, you die. It could look like someone you know, or it could be a stranger in a crowd, whatever helps it get close to you. Somebody gave it to me, and I passed it to you back in the car. JAKE WEARY: (As Hugh) This thing - it's going to follow you. Drugged, she wakes up tied to a chair as Hugh paces behind her. Then they're on a quiet lakefront beach talking.

In a movie theater, he's spooked by something - a girl in a yellow dress, who she doesn't see, and they hurry off. A cute guy named Hugh, played by Jake Weary, wants to sleep with her and she's not sure. After a prologue too upsetting to relay and the movie's one hideously gory image, which I'd like to get out of my head somehow, we meet Jay, played by Maika Monroe, a teenage girl in suburban Detroit asking herself the usual teenage-girl questions. We know that sex has a connection to whatever it is that follows. The lack of motive never stopped 'Halloween's' Michael or 'Friday The 13th's' Jason. OK, it would help to know why it's doing what it's doing. Forget about what it is and why it's doing what it's doing, what matters is that it follows. But after seeing the indie horror film 'It Follows,' I'm suddenly convinced there's nothing more blood-freezing than a lone figure, clear as day, relatively normal-looking, walking at a moderate pace from way back in the frame towards the front. Or he or she can go for something less concrete - vague outlines, shadows, weird camera angles that play on the fear of the unknown, hints that things aren't what they seem. Film critic David Edelstein has this review.ДAVID EDELSTEIN, BYLINE: There are many ways a filmmaker can try to scare an audience - fancy special effects, loud noises, things jumping up, splatter. That movie was called 'It Follows,' and it opens in theaters today. The same report came out of the Toronto Film Festival in the fall.

There were reports last spring from the Cannes Film Festival that a low-budget American horror movie with no big-name stars was making audiences scream.
