It Follows (Review)

A lot of filmmakers try to pay homage to what influenced them to get into the industry. Unfortunately when people decide to do that it never really works because you cannot outdo your idols. When you watch a movie like It Follows you can instantly tell Director David Robert Mitchell loves horror films from the 1980s. It Follows feels like a time capsule but also feels remarkably fresh in today’s age of bloated, and non-scary, horror films. Because of its retro outlook it makes Mitchell’s sophomore outing one of the best horror films to come out in years.

Spring (Review)

With the horror genre struggling these days we cannot rely on the major studios releasing anything in terms of quality. Some of last year’s “gems” like Annabelle or yet another Paranormal Activity showcases a lack of creativity. Which is why the independent scene is so important because that is where all the scares are. Go to your ‘Video On Demand’ services and you will see a bevy of horror films just waiting for you to explore. A more recent outing you will notice comes in the shape of Spring; a European romance with a sinister twist.
