It Follows has been out for a while now, but for some reason it has stuck with me. Maybe it’s all the little tricks. The weird clam compact e-reader or the way multiple decades are all mashed together in continuous scenes. Your eye doesn’t realize it, not technically. It leaves you with an eerie feeling….

Usually September is a letdown after the sequels and explosions of the summer blockbusters. But this summer seemed to be one box office disappointment after another.
