It Follows
One rule, followed exactly. The most frightening use of a wide shot in modern horror.
The premise is a single mechanic: something is walking toward you, always, at walking pace, and only you can see it. Pass it on and it goes to the next person, but if they die it comes back down the line to you.
David Robert Mitchell shoots it in Detroit suburbs in slow, wide, deep-focus compositions, which turns every scene into a game of scanning the background. That is the whole trick and it is a very good trick.
Disasterpeace's synth score is doing an enormous amount and knows it. The deliberately unplaceable period, 1970s cars, modern clothes, a clamshell e-reader, is not sloppiness.
